“One too many hits on your rider or bike may end your race”. Out of all the classic ’90s racing franchises that never managed to stick around, Road Rash’s absence from modern-day release schedules is perhaps the most disappointing. Combining racing with hand-to-hand combat, Road Rash was a smash hit on Genesis / Mega Drive,…
2025 has been a rather heated year for genAI and its ever-increasing use in videogames. Most recently, the year’s awards darling Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was disqualified from the Indie Game Awards for making use of generative AI during development and Larian’s admission of using genAI “to explore ideas” at the studio has caused ripples…

It’s strange to think that first-person shooters—and arguably the PC’s arrival as a major gaming platform—emerged from an attempt to create the PC’s equivalent of Super Mario Bros 3. John Carmack’s reproduction of the smooth scrolling effect seen in Nintendo’s platformer ultimately led to the founding of id Software and the creation of Commander Keen….
Some developers react to success by going all rock star—like Cliff Bleszinski purchasing a flashy Lamborghini when he was living it up at Epic. Solo dev Feryas Beer is a little bit more grounded after the success of Super Fantasy Kingdom, the Hooded Horse-published roguelite city builder. No cars, no luxury pads, not even a…
