Black Mirror might never be the same after season 7—the duo who created the hit Netflix series is stepping down from command of their production company. On Wednesday, Deadline reported that Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones have split with the production company they founded, Broke & Bones, which is owned by Netflix. Brooker was Black…
As the shroom-hopping race begins, the starter’s pistol backfires, delivering a bullet straight through his foot. He hoots and curses, and the racers stall in the blocks, waiting for confirmation that the contest has really begun. I take the opportunity to grab an early lead, sprinting ahead into a field of oversized fungi. “It was…
LEGO has released some amazing video game collaborations in the past, from Nintendo to Horizon: Zero Dawn, but fans are already making the one I want to see next: Monster Hunter. The release of Monster Hunter Wilds earlier this year is inspiring some crafty LEGO fans to bring the game’s monsters and weapons to life….
First conceived by creator deltaCJ in 2018, GTA 1991 began life as a hobbyist slant on the often rumoured, but never officially acknowledged, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Stories. As a prequel to Carl Johnson’s Grove Street exploits, the total conversion mod could indeed fit that billing, but over the course of its development, it’s…
It’s a sad truth of this industry that some games simply get lost to time. Servers get shut down, listings get removed from storefronts, and releases we were once excited for get forgotten. That’s if they even made it to launch in the first place. So, this is a quiz, but it’s also a bit…
Fair play to Norland’s developer Long Jaunt, it doesn’t do patches by halves. Back in March, the medieval colony sim’s “damn big update” overhauled several of its most fundamental systems, stripping out character needs, reworking crime and punishment, and radically changing how your colony’s horny lords give orders to peasants. Now, Long Jaunt is rolling…
Late last month, Two Point Studios unveiled the first paid DLC for its excellent management sim Two Point Museum. Titled Fantasy Finds, it adds a dungeon’s worth of treasures to discover and display. While impressed by the expansion’s showing, I questioned the apparent lack of a new museum scenario for the campaign, which would have…
Witchfire has been in development for nearly a decade at this point. But the “new” FPS from Painkiller creator Adrian Chmielarz has been gathering pace since its arrived on Steam in early access last year (following an initial launch on the Epic Store in 2023). The RPG-infused shooter has received two chunky content patches in…
System Shock 2 is a PC gaming classic, but much like its spiritual successor Bioshock, its final act isn’t as strong as the rest of the game. Its final level—The Body of the Many—swaps out the twisting spaceship corridors of the game’s earlier levels for what is basically a giant intestine, with you fighting through…
Fun in the sun. It’s looking like it’ll be a hot one this weekend, and while gaming may not be the first thing that comes to mind, you know we’re all going to need some time chilling in the shade at some point. Before we get into this week’s What Are You Playing, let’s recap…
