And we thought our love lives were a disaster. If you play enough video games, you can see when developers are playing it safe, but that isn’t the case for Outerloop’s Thirsty Suitors. If anything, it is trying to do too much, its ambition reaching to heights that its budget simply can’t deliver, but we…
Hyaaah! Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver are widely considered to be one of the greatest entries in the long-running franchise, but did you know that the games’ male protagonist was actually altered to look more like a ninja for the DS remakes? That’s according to a magazine translation discovered as part of DidYouKnowGaming‘s comprehensive dive into…
Ken Levine, best-known for System Shock 2 and Bioshock, is not one for social media. Levine was the co-founder of Irrational Games and led the development of that studio’s varied output in different creative roles for almost two decades, before the experience of developing Bioshock Infinite led to the studio’s total restructuring as a much…

I’m an old man. I’ve created many an autoexec.bat and config.sys file in my life, vividly remember plugging in my first 3D accelerator card with pass-through cables through a Matrox Mystique GPU, and have benchmarked practically every graphics card released since 2006. And the appearance of this gorgeous new Galax graphics card (via Videocardz) this…
Dungeon Keeper is one of my all-time favourite games, tied with Theme Hospital as Bullfrog’s most fondly remembered management sim. Yet whereas Bullfrog’s isometric cure ’em up is still fairly playable today, returning to Dungeon Keeper in 2023 is hard going. Its visuals are incredibly bleary on a modern machine, while it’s also finicky to…

Published by Electronic Arts, the original Dungeon Keeper put its players in the role of…
There are several ways to unlock Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 operators, though only a handful will be available initially. You won’t be completely without choice if you played Modern Warfare 2, however, as you’ll have access to any operators you acquired while playing it. Modern Warfare 3 is adding 25 operators into the…
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide released in a bashed-up state thanks to performance issues, an unfinished crafting system, a not-so-great cash shop, and wonky progression. The game clawed its way back into the good will of its players, though, especially since its recent talent tree overhaul, its recent reviews “Very Positive” on Steam at the time of…
