Below is a copy of my post on The Reticule, but the word on the street is the UK games retailer, GAME, is edging ever closer to going into administration in the next couple of weeks unless something drastic happens. The hope amongst the industry seems to be a takeover by GameStop in some shape...

So, with the new site it is time for you all to know that I stepped down from staff. Not that I expect half of you to even remember who I am, apart from that chap who constantly tries to link to The Reticule all the time. (Haha, see what I did there eh? eh?) but yes, I stepped down from staff as...

For those of you who don't know, I am a fool for bizarre simulation games, so you shouldn't be surprised to see me posting about Elevator: Source, an elevator simulation mod for Garry's Mod 10. Simply put, you climb into an elevator, maybe with some friends and stop off at 28 randomised floors...

Thre is a nifty pre-order off currently running for Kingdoms of Amalur: The Reckoning which will give you three free Team Fortress 2 items.

[br]Tomorrow a patch for Saints Row: The Third is going to add free Team Fortress 2 masks to the game. That is all. A few further details can be found here.

This is certainly a bizarre one, some keen modders have gone and made a mod for Half-Life based on the unreleased Dreamcast version that was being developed by Gearbox Software. Apparently the failed Dreamcast version featured level designs and NPD models that were different to anything found in...

Alright everyone, I am running a poll on The Reticule asking people how they like reviews to be scored/rated etc. I have always found this an interesting topic since I started getting involved in games writing, personally I'm not a fan of the traditional scores out of 10 or 100, or even A-F...

Valve's Erik Johnson was cornered at GamesCom by Rock, Paper, Shotgun's Alec Meer and forced to answer a series of stern questions. One such question follows:[br]"RPS: It seems a profoundly different prospect to TF2, which found a bunch of ways to be a sort of gateway experience to online...

[br] This is a puzzling one, word comes via The Sixth Axis that there is a category now entitled 'XBOX Support' when you try to raise a ticket on the Steam Support site. I was intrigued and created a Support account myself, and low and behold, as you can see in the image above, there is an...

One of the best things about being a right old geek are that I pick up on some small things and decide to run with them as news. Today that small geeky news comes from the latest PC Gamer video blog (beware of the checkered shirts) where they reveal that in the next issue of the mag, coming out...

[br]The mod team working on No More Room In Hell have released a nifty looking custom Steam skin which you can view in the image above. You can grab the skin from ModDB, but please note that if you want to use the Disintegration font you will need to install the font (found in the downloadable...
