It seems hard to conceive now, given we’ve had three games (and some assorted DLC) with Doug Cockle’s dulcet tones behind the deadpan features of Geralt of Rivia, but there was a time where CDPR was struggling to find out what everyone’s favourite witcher would sound like in The Witcher trilogy. The Witcher 3 at…
One thing that’s really nice about loving the same things you did when you were a kid as an adult is that all of a sudden you’ve got your own money to spend on whatever you want. I’m a firm believer that every now and then we deserve a treat for working so hard, and…
Over the last few years I have wildly oscillated between “The RTS is coming back” and “The RTS is screwed“, and today I’m leaning towards the former. That’s because we’re getting a new Dawn of War coming in 2026, and rather than trying to shake things up, it’s returning to its roots. The Blood Ravens…
Valve is currently celebrating Steam’s 20th anniversary in the only way Valve knows how: massive discounts on all of its games, and bad jokes.

One of the last arcade titles to be released by the company before it focused its energy on home consoles, the game made quite an impact at the time of release thanks to…
I do love it when a retro game makes an unexpected comeback, and games don’t get much more retro than Beyond the Ice Palace. It’s been decades since the game—so old one version of it was sold on tape—made its debut, and now a sequel’s appeared, boldly calling itself Beyond the Ice Palace 2 as…
The Saturn’s first big 3D exclusive. Sega’s iconic Panzer Dragoon series turns 30 years old today—the game made its Japanese debut on March 10th, 1995. The first game to be created by Sega’s Team Andromeda group, Panzer Dragoon built on the rail shooter mechanics seen in titles like Space Harrier, adding the ability to lock…
AI was used “across almost every part of the business”. The last few years haven’t exactly been great for arcade operators, with more and more locations having to close their doors due to a combination of factors, including high costs and decreasing footfall.
