Thanks to SNEG. Ecstatica is one of my all-time favourite PC games, as you may have gleaned from the feature I wrote about it recently. Released at a time when polygon visuals were still very crude in nature, 1994’s Ecstatica used ellipsoids to create its characters – a move which gave the game a more…
Sovereign Tower has genuinely surprised me. At first glance, it’s a cosy-looking management romp with shades of Reigns and Yes, Your Grace. It’s colourful, a little silly and chock-full of charming eccentrics. This is not an inaccurate assessment, but it’s also so much more—and a lot darker than the soft colour palette and whimsical tone…
“Artificial intelligence tools were NOT used in the creation of this patch”. A new English fan translation has just dropped for the Japanese-exclusive PlayStation role-playing game, London Seirei Tantei-Dan, from Bandai. Focusing on a slingshot-wielding orphan boy who is recruited off the street to become an assistant to a famous detective, London Seirei Tantei-Dan (or…
Nvidia hasn’t been just a gaming-focussed company for a fair few years now, dining well off of the booming AI industry. AMD, one of its main rivals, is much the same, with the company feasting on the data centre segment in particular this past quarter. In total, AMD reported record-breaking revenue of $11.5 billion in…
Even older entries find a way. It is hard to imagine a better fit for a real-time-strategy simulator than Jurassic Park. At some point, while watching the films, everyone has thought about how much better they could run the parks than John Hammond, InGen, or any of the other mega corporations that repeat the same…
“It’s faster to hide them than to erase them from memory”. A short while back, we spent a year attempting to find out who actually created the logo for Sega’s Dreamcast console. However, today, we’re showing you a slightly different take on its creation – as in, how it is literally rendered every time you…
Love-de-Lic’s ‘UFO’ is also coming to Console Archives. Konami’s military-themed events game, Combat School (also known as Boot Camp in the States), has been unveiled as this week’s Arcade Archives release. So, if your idea of fun is arm wrestling matches, iron man races, trips to the firing range, or getting yelled at by a…
World of Warcraft calling curtains on combat-based UI mods (AddOns) has been a bit of a mixed bag—while I’m personally more than fine having a class I don’t need constant auditory pings and klaxons to play, there have been some missing functionalities and hiccups along the way. One element of this is, at least, somewhat…
It’s already gone on Switch. Strategy-based RPG Star Trek: Legends is to be delisted from all digital storefronts from 20th August 2026. However, those on Switch might notice that the game has already beamed its way off the eShop, so you’re no longer able to purchase it. Announced via a community post on Steam (thanks,…
“Enter the vector battlefield…”. We’ve known since late last year that Numskull Design were planning to turn Atari’s revolutionary “3D” arcade cabinet, Battlezone, into a 1/4-scale machine as part of its Quarter Arcades series. However, something that almost completely slipped past us was that pre-orders actually open up later this week, on August 7th, 2026….
