I’ve just watched an experimental dance music gig created by an artist playing Half-Life. Graham Dunning has replaced every single sound in Valve’s shooter with samples he says come “from 90s rave tracks and sample CDs”, giving Gordon Freeman drums for feet, making sentry turrets loop vocal samples, turning ambient sounds into pounding loops, blasting […]
Four years ago, Paradox launched Stellaris, a sci-fi grand strategy game which had promise but needed a bit of work to find itself. Since then, Paradox have released so many updates overhauling and replacing bits and pieces that I’m entirely lost on how it works when I come back to it. They’ve certainly put in […]
Mariomaniacs recently completed the astonishing task of reverse-engineering Super Mario 64 and making an unofficial PC version. It doesn’t need an emulator or anything, it’s just Super Mario 64 running on PC. Nintendo are less than wholly impressed with this technical feat, sending in their lawyers to try to shut down downloads. A wholly unsurprising […]
The long list of cancelled events keeps pushing deeper into the year, with the Tokyo Game Show now cancelling its September expo due to the pandemic. The organisers are planning to run an online event instead. TGS is more of a public show than the marketing-o-rama that is E3, but it does tend to bring […]
We’re all invited back to the strange town of Thimbleweed Park for a free new little spin-off. Over the weekend, Ron Gilbert and pals released Delores: A Thimbleweed Park Mini-Adventure, a new story standalone story which grew out of a prototype for Gilbert’s next game engine. And it’s free for everyone to play, whether you […]
The Giger-esque gristle and oozing orifices of Scorn have reemerged after a protracted silence, with a new trailer shown on Microsoft’s Xbox stream too. It’s been a few years but yeah, I’m still up for traipsing around a meaty hellplace, shooting meatbeasts and solving puzzles. If you like ribs, guts, holes, and bodily fluids, this […]
Following a little leak this week, Yakuza: Like A Dragon is now officially announced for PC, coming later this year. This opens a new chapter in Sega’s RPG series about mobsters with hearts of gold, starring a different wrestledad in another city. Like A Dragon also shakes up the action, going from a beat ’em […]
Three players must gun down hordes of mutant dinosaurs to reclaim the Earth in Second Extinction, a new co-op FPS announced today. That’s some co-op foolishness I can get behind. I don’t know how tyrannosauruses rexes and electric raptors have taken over the Earth, but I’d guess your man Richard Dawkins has been up to […]
Ubisoft just dropped the first “gameplay trailer” for Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, showing us a more of their upcoming game about Vikings keen to slit throats as much as split skulls. It’s a gameplay trailer not a gameplay video, unsurprisingly, so we’re still waiting for an actual look at the game in action. But if you […]
