It’s rare that a game as old as the venerable Tomb Raider gets an update, and you’d think it’d be cause for celebration. Not necessarily so with the newest patch that came to Tomb Raider I-III Remastered last Thursday, which came bearing a new challenge mode and 10 new outfits that, well, just have a…
Disk Cleanup Welcome to Disk Cleanup, our regular weekend column delving into the PCs of PC gaming luminaries. Come back every weekend to read a new interview, digging into the important questions, like “how tidy is your desktop?” and “what game will you never uninstall?” Abubakar Salim, actor and founder of Surgent Studios, first got…
Mirror’s Edge is known primarily for two things these days: being extremely cool and not getting any new games. It has that in common with plenty of aging series under the EA banner, but indie developer Viridian Matters has said enough is enough and announced a full-on Mirror’s Edge-like of their own.

And so I find myself gunning it down the Los Santos freeway in my banged up Beater…
I thought Timberborn’s early access journey was more or less done and (saw)dusted when I last checked in on it in February. The city-builder that has you oversee a colony of industrious beavers had confirmed its release date for March, and seemingly shared everything that was coming to the launch version.

I was already aware that Project Shadowglass was at least partly inspired by Looking Glass’ stealth masterpiece Thief: The Dark Project. Fellow sneaky bastard Ted Litchfield picked some promising nuggets out of Shadowglass’ purse in January, such as open-ended levels featuring guards and traps and simulated 3D audio inspired by Thief’s pioneering propagation tech.
