“I keep the ends out for the tie that binds, because you’re mine, I walk the line.” -Johnny Cash Gritty, unmistakably smart and brewed in a combination of adventure, action, survival-horror and shooter gameplay, Surreal Software and Midway’s The Suffering was a combined million-seller on the PlayStation 2 and Xbox when it was released in 2004. It…
While excitement (or derision) might currently be directed towards Nvidia’s new graphics cards and AMD’s upcoming ones, let’s not forget that the past few months has seen the introduction of new CPU line-ups from both Intel and AMD. From Intel, we had the somewhat underwhelming Core Ultra 200S ‘Arrow Lake’ line-up, and from AMD, we…
Fixes, improvements and much more. Following its launch late last year, the first-person shooter Turok 3: Shadow of Oblivion Remastered has received a new update. If you haven’t already played the remaster, it’s certainly worth a look if you played the original game, just don’t expect multiplayer mode. Overall though, it’s fast and violent with…
The old-school MMO Ultima Online has been around for more than 27 years, and producer Bonnie Armstrong has been working on it for 26 of them. Earlier this week, though, Armstrong announced that she’s stepping down from the role, although she’s not leaving it behind completely. “I am writing to all of you to inform…

Warhammer—End Times: Vermintide celebrated its tenth birthday in October, a fact that makes me painfully aware of how much closer I am to becoming rat fodder myself. The original Vermintide was a decent stab at Left 4 Dead-style cooperative action by developer Fatshark, but much like Valve’s pioneering shooter, it has long been eclipsed by…
The veil between satire and reality has seemed so thin for such a long time now that I find myself double checking every other news post I see just to make sure it’s not something from The Onion—sadly it never is. But I guess it could be worse, I could be the one who has…
Enjoy sessions for up to an hour. One of the most disappointing confirmations regarding the upcoming Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 on Switch and Switch 2 was that the Career Mode in THPS 4 would adopt the same timer-based structure as the previous games, thus revamping the original release which allowed players to…
