Last month, I got way too invested in a Mountain Dew. I searched multiple websites trying to get it delivered to my apartment, annoyed store clerks with questions about unstocked Dew they might have sitting “in the back,” recruited friends to scout out Walmart locations, and became an expert on the official online Dew tracker….
A gremlin in the works. Sheffield-based Gremlin Graphics is one of those names that will be instantly familiar to British gamers of a certain age – a bit like US Gold, Ocean and The Bitmap Brothers. During the ’80s and ’90s, the company was responsible for releasing a wide range of titles across various formats,…
Games That Weren’t rescues a lost piece of Codemasters’ history.

Geometry Dash is a cheap and cheerful rhythm-based platformer that originally launched on Steam in December 2014. It recently celebrated its 10-year-anniversary (the game released on mobile devices the year before), which would normally see fans and developers reflecting fondly on a well-made game. But turns out developer RobTop Games had far more in store,…
“It seemed to be something that could benefit both studios”. Obsidian Entertainment staffer Chris Avellone has taken to social media to reveal that the studio once pitched the idea of an Elder Scrolls spin-off to Bethesda (thanks, Windows Central). “One of the Elder Scrolls proposals (which I pitched) was intended to serve the same function…
