I don't understand how these games are remastered since they've been available and working on STEAM for quite some time.

And lawyering - nobody ever listens.

Pretty different to Portal to be honest. Think Deus Ex meets Bioshock.

Well, I'll go further, much further. I haven't liked a single game by Schafer; not one, ever. I despise the style of Monkey Island and its ilk. I actually bought the revamped Grim Fandango, but never finished it. In fact, I didn't get past the roof top thingy where you have to get the pigeon or wha...

http://www.wired.com/2016/02/warren-spector-system-shock-3/ If there's a kickstarter just to give Warren the funds to buy the rights for Deus Ex, take my money now. Spector never really gave any sign of getting tired or so uninspired that he would settle for a cookie-cutter game within a particular...

Grim Fandango is a stunning piece of art that Tim Burton would gladly sacrifice a lung and a kidney in exchange for the said creation. I'm also drawn to the visuals and characters which is why I think Tim would be better as an animated film maker or a comic book artist. I like the story Grim Fandan...

I figured if i'm going to make a thread after a relatively lengthy hiatus that I may as well stir the proverbial pot. Not that it is my primary intention to throw a cat among the pigeons as i'm here to say a very genuine hello at the same time. Hello! Now onto the thread... I'm mainly starting this ...

The one and only Richie Benaud: http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/cricket-great-richie-benaud-dead-20150409-1mhzdy.html He was to cricket commentary what Don Lafontaine was to movie trailers. One of a kind and easily the highlight of all those summers watching cricket on television as a kid. In...

Either use your own PC equipment (keyboard, mouse, xbox controllers) or Nintendo will create USB controllers. Most likely all of the above I'd say.

Nintendo seem to think so. Let's face it, since Nintendo Wii, as a hardware manufacturer they've only ever released stuff that's good for the 6 month block that it was released in. Wii U was their first ever Blu-ray device which followed AFTER Xbox 360 and PS3. Not only this, despite being launched ...

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2015/03/nintendo-games-officially-coming-to-pc-mobile/ Pretty much as it says on the tin. I'm only semi-surprised because I believe they're discontinuing the Nintendo Club and this would seem to be taking its place...to a degree. There's obviously a lot we do not know so I...

Happy Birthday, your Honour!

(yes, I know you're not a judge)

I finished this game about two weeks ago. Overall, I really liked it and glad I finally got around to playing it. It's got terrific characters, great settings and I really appreciated all the homages to classic noir. Even the Glottis character was great despite at first coming across as a morbidly o...

Thanks, everyone


WAAAAAAYY too much food yesterday, but it was just a really good night in with family. Small and quiet, just the way I like to celebrate my birthdays.

Farewell to the logical one: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/27/arts/television/leonard-nimoy-spock-of-star-trek-dies-at-83.html?_r=0 In a funny sort of way I think the material world will actually be a better place without him because he'll be able to teach the man upstairs a thing or two about huma...
