“New collection brings together the three groundbreaking games for the first time”. Pixel Jockey has joined forces with Crash Magazine to create a new limited edition box set of three classic ZX Spectrum 3D titles. 3D Combat Classics features 3D Tank Duel, 3D Starstrike, and Starstrike 2, which were all developed by Realtime Games, the…
Another day, another “bad news for Intel” story. In a year of dismal financial results, disappointing desktop chips, internal turmoil and… you know the rest. However, if the latest rumours are to be believed, things might be even worse than previously thought when it comes to its foundry business. After the resignation of its CEO,…
In the early 80’s Nintendo released one of the most famous games of all time, and that game was ‘ Donkey Kong ‘. A game in which you played as Mario that had to avoid obstacles across a number of platforms, with sometimes a hammer in hand to save a damsel in distress from a…
A real visual feast. When you stop and think about it, the Game Boy Advance is perhaps the last gaming platform that was truly built for 2D gaming, first and foremost. By the time Nintendo’s million-selling handheld arrived on the market in 2001, we were already a few years into 3D being the norm for…
It’s a special time of year in the GT calendar as we head to Amsterdam in the Netherlands for the World Finals of the Gran Turismo World Series 2024. After three rounds of spectacular racing in Montreal in July, Prague in August and Tokyo in September, the points at the top of the tables are…
The Legend of Sellda. Back in 2018, 11 Bit Studios and Digital Sun dared to ask the question, ‘What if, between saving Hyrule, Link ran a little shop?’ The result was Moonlighter, a brilliant little dungeon-crawling, shopkeeping roguelike with a dash of Zelda in its DNA. Well, this eShop beauty is getting a sequel —…
Delta Force—the CoD-y, Battlefield-y FPS from Tencent—hit yesterday, and it seems pretty alright so long as you don’t stare into the yawning chasm of its monetisation options. The guns go thock-thock, you can stick all sorts of knick-knacks and gadgets on them, and your bones break with such ease you might mistake it for enthusiasm….
I had no idea what to expect from The Thing: Remastered. I’ve always been a fan of the film, but I was far too young to play the original back in 2002, so I was excited to get a chance to see what all the fuss was about for myself. Dropping into Outpost 31 in…
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Spirit Mancer, the inaugural release from Sunny Syrup Studio, is an ambitious game that flies a little too close to the sun. It’s a hack ‘n’ slash, an action platformer, an RPG, a monster catcher, and a deckbuilder, all rolled into one. If that sounds like…
Path of Exile 2 early access finally kicks off today, perfectly timed for a debauched weekend of murdering monsters in Wraeclast. Pals, I will not be moving from my chair. My dog’s gonna have to walk himself (don’t worry, I’m not really this terrible). Early access—whether it’s singleplayer, multiplayer or live service—usually means you shouldn’t…
