But can it run Crysis? This was the motto that surrounded every single PC build for literal years after the release of the game in 2007.

After their magnum opus that was Resident Evil 1, Capcom were not going to sit on their heels.

It all began back in 1986 with the release of the first game for the Famicom in Japan. …

Over the years, we’ve played games from pretty much every genre under the sun, but there is one that is notably missing - the racing sim.

But this is the first time we’re trying to learn how to actually drive a racing ca…

2:14:43

Rain World is a game that was released to very mixed reviews. With a whopping 59 on Metacritic, it was panned for its controls, difficulty, tedium and general obtuseness. But take a gander at the community reviews and you get a very different picture. The thing is, Rain World can at times be all the things that its critics hate so much that they gi…

1:33:36

Ensemble Studios blew the world away with Age of Empires way back in 1997. It took a different approach to the RTS formulae than Westwood or Blizzard, and was rewarded heavily for it. Being able to advance your entire civilization's technology level was a heady drug, and balancing the varied needs of your economy with a well rounded army was strate…

1:20:38

Blood, first released in 1997 by Monolith Studios, was the middle child of the big three Build Engine games, sandwiched in between Duke 3D and Shadow Warrior. Its combination of gory horror-inspired visuals combined with action filled FPS gameplay was a huge hit at the time of release, but has slowly faded in many people’s memories. Both Quake and …
