Games feature game modes, and it is important for people to know what modes are available in a game. It is especially important in a racing game, you sometimes get a so-called rally game which in actual fact features very little real rallying.

Another franchise returns to its roots: Worms 2D back to the PC

Yay? After discovering that Worms doesn’t quite work in 3D – or at least that nobody really cared about it – Team 17 sat down and thought about perhaps making another 2D version of it. 49142 years passed, many developers grew beards.

Tidalis Coming Tomorrow

Tidalis is the latest title from Arcen Games and is due for release tomorrow. You may remember we interviewed Chris Park late last year about their last title, AI War (part one, part two.)

Last Updated: 26 August 2010
