Feature: Strictly Limited Responds To Switch Delays And Discontent, And Details An Ambitious Target

“Our priority remains delivering on past commitments”. With plenty of physical game lovers resisting the shift to digital distribution, the world of boutique, limited-press publishing is booming, with multiple options for anyone desperate to have smaller-scale releases on disc or cartridge rather than a hard drive or SD card. It’s a risky business, though, with…

Following Monolith’s shock closure, GOG is offering 90% off its 2005 shooter FEAR and accelerating the game’s preservation to recognise its doomed developer’s ‘contribution to gaming’

Yesterday, Warner Bros announced it was closing Monolith Productions in a “strategic change of direction”. A studio with a 30-year legacy, Monolith’s games include Blood, No One Lives Forever, Tron 2.0, Condemned: Criminal Origins, and more recently its excellent Middle-earth tie-ins Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War, which introduced the remarkable Nemesis System.

Thanks to a company called North Spore, you can now own your own little piece of the Dreamscourge,…

This ‘overwhelmingly positive’ Steam Next Fest autobattler demo feels like someone bolted a Path of Exile-style map onto Halls of Torment, and I fear for my future productivity

The autobattler’s been getting chimeric since Vampire Survivors released and plunged global productivity down the toilet. VS was a chaotic slot machine: you didn’t so much craft a build as you did keep pulling the lever and hope you could assemble something vaguely effective from what it spits out, which kept me occupied for weeks….

GPU manufacturer Yeston’s done the unthinkable by dunking its new ‘Atlantis’ RX 9070 XT graphics card in the ocean

You know the deal, it’s Yeston, so prepare for something… special, and possibly a little outrageous. The company that brought us the genuinely very inspired ‘Cute Pet’ graphics card design (see the third image in the gallery further down) has certainly gone for ‘outrageous’ this time with its advertisement for an upcoming RX 9070 XT…
