I’ve never been a fan of open world game design. The reason is simple- I get lost very easily. This is probably why I tend to prefer retro games over modern ones in the first place, open world design being better facilitated by more advanced hardware. That I’m opening with this does not bode…
“Making an even more detailed Dobuita is an interesting idea”. Yu Suzuki is a certified video gaming legend. During his time at Sega, he oversaw the production of some of the most important games of the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s – including the likes of Out Run, Space Harrier, After Burner, Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter…
Locating a Harvester Orb in Modern Warfare 3‘s new zombies mode is one of the many missions you’ll find yourself having to complete if you want to progress the story. These hovering orbs may seem slightly unnerving when you first encounter one, but don’t be afraid, they’re really just big loot pinatas—shoot them with your…

The early details for this month’s PC-specific follow-up patch,…
Hinge broke after using laptop upside down from r/Asustuf Listen, I’ve not always been a paragon of common sense; I once managed to bend pins on not one but two CPUs when upgrading my then-partner’s PC and my own—a two-for-one in sheer-faced idiocy, all within the space of an hour. So don’t consider this me preaching from…
