Responding to recent statements by Epic Game Store VP and general manager Steve Allison in a Game File interview, indie publisher Santa Ragione has again publicly criticized EGS’ handling of Horses, a controversial art game that was delisted from both the Epic and Steam storefronts—Santa Ragione has argued in both cases that the storefronts employ…
In the mid-1990s Interplay Entertainment acquired the Dungeons & Dragons licence, and would go on to publish Baldur’s Gate, Planescape: Torment, and Icewind Dale.

Fallout’s everywhere now, with half a dozen games and two seasons of television under its belt, but it used to be “a B-tier product,” as series co-creator Tim Cain recently told Game Informer. A lot went wrong during development and the team didn’t have much power to do anything about it, but Cain said that…

The game already has a whopping 4,000 mods on CurseForge, and it doesn’t seem like things are slowing down anytime soon. Browsing CurseForge you’ll…

You’re only given a few customisation options when you start,but you…
Age of Empires 2: Definitive Edition’s consistent popularity has proved there’s a big audience for classic RTS action, even as the broader genre struggles to break new ground.
