What a legend. Once upon a time, video games used to come complete with an instruction manual, and one of the great pleasures of buying a new game was that time spent in the car on the way back from the shop, leafing through said manual to scrub up on things prior to booting up…
A less broken bat Good news — publisher WB Games has released its promised interim patch for the PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight, which is now available to download. However, the game itself is still not available on Steam. Following a plethora of complaints over performance problems after its initial release earlier this summer,…
I think we’ve got a new contender for The Most Specific UI Option award 2025, which I must emphasise, is an entirely real award that I definitely did not make up alongside my Most Specific Bug Fix 2025 award. Quartet, a lovely little turn-based RPG by a four-person team, lets you toggle the Oxford comma…
2024 continues to be an awful year for employees of the game industry, as another three studios have reportedly laid off employees this week.

If a deal looks too good to be true, it probably is, especially if the item in question is a digital key for a brand-new game that can be swiped away using DRM witchcraft just as swiftly as it can be activated. That’s what happened with Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which Humble Bundle…
