**WARNING – PERSONAL OPINION BELOW** I’m sorry, unless you’ve played at least one of the many SCUMM adventures from LucasArts (whether via the original disks, way back then, or SCUMMVM), you’re not a true gamer… Unfortunately, that’s a debate another time… For now, lets make do with the fact that some enterprising chap on LucasForums […]

Despite everyone’s misgivings and apathy towards Haze, I don’t think anyone was happy to see Free Radical go to the wall. The company was one of the first victims of the economic downturn and has been operating in administration on a skeleton staff whilst a buyer was sought. Well, now one has, and it’s everyones […]

UT3 gets Steamworks love ahead of Bonus Pack
Do you own a copy of the red-headed stepchild of multiplayer FPS games that is UT3? Is that a ‘yes’ I hear? Then, assuming you don’t mind being unable the sell the game on (which is something I’d assume you’d have already done if you hated it with the sort of bile CliffyB rightly deserves), […]
