As is so often the case in PC gaming, a tremendous modder has stepped in to correct publisher oversight. Resident Evil Revelations 2 launched on the PC without an offline co-op mode, but this newly released mod reinstates it. Created by a user named ‘Sectus’ at the Neogaf forums, the mod enables the activation of […]
Resident Evil Revelations 2 has had my attention for awhile. This is less down to the game itself (although the prospect of a playable Barry Burton is certainly a welcome one) and more down to the episodic nature of the game. Episodic games are nothing new, but episodic games with the episodes released weekly rather […]
There are probably lots of games from the 90s that deserve a “remaster,” to use the term of choice these days. On the other hand, there are games which should probably just be left alone and nostalgically remembered for how good they were. Happily, Homeworld is very much in the genuine classic category. When Gearbox picked up […]
Lucius 2 is not a good game. In fact, by basically any metric, it’s actually a bad game. It’s shonky and buggy and unfinished and about as well-polished as a mirror that’s been locked in an attic for the past hundred years. It has godawful controls, the wonkiest physics this side of a parallel universe […]
Homeworld Remastered is looking rather gorgeous as this new trailer demonstrates. A new trailer for Homeworld Remastered has been shot in 4K and shows the cinematic from the second mission. This video actually features one the missions I posted in our hands-on comparison videos last week which includes the same cinematic. The specs of the system used to shoot […]
You don’t need the late Tommy Vance to tell you that prison isn’t a particularly fun place to be locked up. Even if you do get a pint of foaming nut brown ale every now and again. This beginner’s guide is intended to get you familiar with some of the basics you’ll need in The […]
The High Rollers Lounge elevator in Grim Fandango’s second year has a dark history, which apparently extended to the recent Remastered edition of the game. There’s a timing-based puzzle you need to solve in there and the original version of the game had problems on newer PC CPUs – they ran it too fast, and […]
As the founder of Blue Sky Productions (later to become Looking Glass Studios,) Paul Neurath is partially responsible for some of the most innovative PC titles of the 1990s. Ultima Underworld, Thief: The Dark Project, Thief II: The Metal Age, Terra Nova and System Shock were all produced and released in a bountiful creative period, […]
Ubisoft release a new patch for Far Cry 4 with the co-op update. The latest patch will now enable players to play co-op on user created maps or in single player if you prefer. All maps can now utilise this feature and and map creators can now add two spawn points, one for each player. […]
As even the most casual student of mythology knows, the Ancient Greek gods could be a spiteful, arrogant, and jealous bunch. Like spoiled superheroes, they often used their powers to fuck with humanity (both figuratively and literally) and then had the chutzpah to expect continual praise for providing basic services like “making sure the oceans […]
