Everyone was a bit miffed when Microsoft canned Ensemble Studios (alongside other successful setups) for what seemed like no reason. Now basically the entire team has split off into a third-party startup called Robot Entertainment. Their first job? Support and DLC for Ensemble’s Halo Wars, leaving the majority of people questioning what was the entire […]
Dell have curiously jumped feet-first into the online digital market, bringing Software, Games & Music (the latter for EU customers only) via a NEXWAY-powered portal. Albums can be purchased for what I can only assume are sensible prices (the site seems fairly schizophrenic, offering prices in either Pounds Sterling or Euros as it sees fit), […]
Singularity has been a bit of a mystery for a while now. We all knew Raven Software were working on it, but nobody really knew what it was all about. Now the marketing machine is revving up to speed and we’re being bombarded left, right and centre.

Mere days before its release, Monolith have released a trailer which charts the evolution of both the game engine and the plotline of the F.E.A.R. series (as per usual, completely ignoring the add-on packs). Find it, along with a healthy dose of scares, after the break…
Valve have sent word that the Left 4 Dead Survival Pack will be hitting PC and 360 this Spring (there’s no concrete date yet – this is Valve Time we’re talking about). The survival pack includes a new multiplayer mode funnily enough called Survival (no details yet on what that entails, we’re waiting to hear […]

How many of you out there in intarweb-land seriously thought that, when setting zombies alight in Ravenholm, the Source engine might one day be used to power a simulation of fire safety & how to safely evacuate a realist model of the Computer Sciences Department in the University of Durham that has recently been engulfed […]
