It's still weird to me that the company behind the revival and resumption of System Shock is also giving us re-releases of games like Turok 2: Seeds of Evil [official site] but hey, that's the rich tapestry of the 1990s. Now Nightdive have announced that they'll release the remaster of Iguana Entertainment's 1997 shooter on March 16th. This is Turok 2 expanded and rebuilt in…

Rather than doing the obvious thing and crossing over with Star Trek to create Tuvok: Dinoborg Hunter, the next stage in the story of the none-more-90s shooter series is to tart up Turok 2.

Anyone holding out for ultro-shiny…

Though perhaps not the most iconic antagonists of the decade, they were always there, seen in shoddy cartoons and found in toy shops alongside non-copyright-infringing bodacious humanoid reptiles.

The new PC Gamer is well worth a look. Especially for a mighty feature offering details of 365 free games. It's one of those ideas that sounds good, right up until you sit down to try and write it. Poor old Graham Smith nearly died trying, and Craig Pearson blushed red and fainted at the size of the task, at which point Jim and I…
