    [VIDEO] Black Mesa Source 'On A Rail' Footage Leaked

    Bitch, bitch, bitch. The smallest details you won't notice five minutes into a play-through... You forgot one: why is the rocket towering over the Silo? Pretty sure rocket silos don't work that way. Odd detail to misinterpret - the whole point of On a Rail is that you can visit the various...

    Ys - The Oath in Felghana Review

    Fair point. I didn't think I would be the right person to write about it though. Time reasons, also total unfamiliarity with / apathy for the sub-genre.

    Ys - The Oath in Felghana Review

    I'll get right on reviewing all those Valve developed Source games that are just oozing through the doors then.

    AND THE OLD FART DRIVES THE BARGE. Yeah I know, I can't work out how to edit them though.

    Ys - The Oath in Felghana Review

    The Japanese Console RPG is an irregular visitor to PC shores, but XSEED Games have decided to localise a number of recent remakes in Falcom's often overlooked Ys series and set them loose on Steam. Here, Steph Woor takes a look at the first: "The Oath in Felghana", a re-imagining of the...

    "The Art of Portal 2" Book

    Instant Purchase. Darkhorse's Art books are well put together (and as a bonus, they go out of print slowly), and, well, it's Portal 2 Will go nicely with my collection:

    Will Source use Direct X11 in Half-Life 3(or Episode 3)?

    Portal 2 and Human Revolution are probably among the best examples of honest to goodness visual design on 2011's release slate. There's a certain section of the player base that gets hung up on poly counts and texture compression, and there's a larger section that isn't... I think everyone...

    Mass Effect 3

    If I could sum up Mass Effect 3's failings in one word, that word would probably be "anime". Even despite the way the justification for the Reapers is brushed over without making a blind bit of sense, the most grating thing for me in this game was the cyborg ninja cliche. I think I'd pay...

    Controllers

    I use a Dualshock 2 via one of those cheap controller to USB converters. It's a robust controller, fantastic for playing Super Meat Boy and whatever emulated games, but you do have to put up with a lot of incorrect or just plain unhelpful prompts in games, and that basically goes for anything...

    Valve Possibly Making 'Steam Box' Console

    Hooray for backwards compatability... ... With SEGA Master System sports titles!

    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

    Completed both the Main Quest and the Civil War last night, I was shocked by how short they both are when you actually stop dicking around in dungeons en route to them both. Both were poorly written and uninspiringly staged (in a Bethesda game?! Who knew!) but I've enjoyed the game overall. I...

    Mass Effect 3

    Is anyone else pissed off that in the two years since Mass Effect 2 was released, the PC DLC has never once been discounted? (Correction: there was an unpublicised glitch last month. WTF?). There has been insanely nice discounts on the Xbox-Live version, and PS3 owners had it in the box. PC...

    Welp, the Syndicate reboot is probably an FPS.

    Anyone else feel like this game has been buried? Like EA was ashamed of it? In the entire time the game was rumoured as an upcoming release, I heard more buzz about it than we've heard in the months since it was actually confirmed as in production. And even before it tanked at review, nobody...

    Is the Human Revolution DLC worth €4

    Eh... sort of If you want to play more Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but the main thing stopping you playing through another time is how long it is, Missing Link provides a dose of the game in a compressed chunk. But it is still DLC for the sake of developing DLC, and if it had actually appeared...

    New Sonic 4 part 2 trailer

    That sounds utterly terrible, ultimately irrelevant. Call me old fashioned, but my greater concern is that the spin-dash attack now involves... well, I'll let you draw your own immature conclusion. More here

    New Sonic 4 part 2 trailer

    I still need to play Episode One. I actually enjoyed Generations a bit. Have to say, when they were hyping up the "Sonic CD is a prequel to Episode Two" angle, I was hoping that they'd do something truly interesting and bring back the time-travel (heck, maybe even do time travel well this time...

    The best Digital Game Distribution service

    Steam: Maybe it's because I'm a cheapass, but I've still only ever got a full-priced retail release through Steam once... I guess if the sales are working for them, that's great. A force for good in games, but it's not like it's perfect, or that it's restrictions weren't something that took a...

    Games: Rate and Discuss

    VVVVVV - 8/10: Having a reputation for being hard and coming out around the same time as Super Meat Boy, I got this an age ago and then never got round to playing it. Honestly, that reputation for difficulty is only half deserved: there are probably only twenty rooms in the entire game that pose...

    Underrated Games?

    A shame that there was no Kirby's Avalanche / Mean Bean Machine 2. The countering mechanic they introduced after the first one was the only thing they ever needed to add.
