Turba – The Verdict

Music makes the world go round, or so we’re told. It certainly seems to be an adage for many ‘casual’ games released on Steam lately, as we’ve seen with titles like Audiosurf and Beat Hazard using your music to create new gameplay experiences. Now Turba gets in on the act by combining music with the [...]

Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands – The Verdict

Most people think time is like a river, that it takes a team of workmen and an army of earthmoving vehicles to restructure, but I have seen the face of time and I can tell you they are wrong.

Singularity – The Verdict

I’ve decided against better judgment that I will make up a word in this review, keep an eye out for it. It’s very much needed as Singularity is quite a “mish-mash” game, but stick with me as it’s also quite wonderful. Raven have done most things right and only a couple of things wrong, keep [...]

Call of Duty: World at War Impressions

Posted on 05 December 2008 by Chris Evans. Posted in ArticlesComments (1)

Lets be honest right from the off, World at War is simply Call of Duty 4 set back in World War II and made a bit worse. I had some hopes when I started the game, the briefing sequences to each level are nicely done, they mix together voice overs from the leading character from [...]

Sins of a Silicon Empire – An industry at fault

Posted on 05 December 2008 by Greg Wild. Posted in Articles, FeaturedComments (5)

You’re to blame. EA’s to blame. The journos are to blame. Your gran’s probably to blame. Infact she’s probably behind it all. Unless you’re a veritable saint of a man/woman/pensioner, I bet you’ve downloaded at least one game, CD or film without giving its creator due credit. And we all know all too well that [...]

Looking a Beast in the Mouth: An Interview with Mike Patton

Posted on 03 December 2008 by Phill Cameron. Posted in InterviewsComments (6)

We recently managed to wangle an interview with Mike Patton, the voice behind the Common Infected in Left 4 Dead, The Darkness in the game of the same name, and the eponymous hero in Bionic Commando. Oh, and I heard he did the Anger Sphere of GLaDOS. He’s also one of the driving forces behind [...]

In October I talked about how Atari were planning to publish Tension, the latest game from Ice-Pick Lodge, the team behind Pathologic. The big news direct from Ice-Pick Lodge is that the game has a new name, it is now going to be known as The Void and is going to be published in the [...]

I have been meaning to throw an update on this game up here for a few days now but only now am I getting around to it, shame on me. Indie game devs Wolfire Games have announced that Overgrowth is now in the Alpha stages of testing. This is the sequel to the indie hit [...]

This man. Look into his eyes.

Posted on 02 December 2008 by Mattias Tammet. Posted in ArticlesComments (2)

“This is my hiding spot, and I’m not moving until the situation has drastically improved.“ He looks up at me, his eyes having turned into a haze by his overly thick glasses. “Now go away and don’t tell anyone I’m here!“ He’s been here for a while and he’s obviously trembling from the chilly, moist [...]

A Dangeresque Roomisodic Adventure Game!

Posted on 01 December 2008 by Steve Peacock. Posted in News, ReviewComments (0)

I like adventure games quite a lot.  I’ve even bought some of the newer entries to the (apparently) dying genre, such as Broken Sword: Angel of Death and all the new Sam and Max games (ergh).  Amongst these sits the awesomeness that is Homestar Runner, and their rather brilliant adventure games released on a monthly [...]

Editor's Blog

Last Updated: 30 July 2010

Years ago my parents bought what was at the time a new PC, it came with a few freebies, one of the best was Battlezone a game which mixed first-person combat elements with base control and resource management normally found in real-time strategy games.
