News by Alec Meer Co-founder

Published on Jan. 15, 2011

A long, long time ago, I can still remember, the RPS Omnibus used to make me smile, And I know, that if I had my chance, I could make those people click through. And maybe they'd be happy, for a while.

But all those Saturdays made me shiver, with every post I'd deliver. Very few comments on the doorstep, I couldn't take one more step.

But hell, let's see what happens this time around. For those who don't read us regularly or suffer from short-term memory loss, here's the best stuff we've posted over the last week...

The IGF student showcase winners were announced. You can and should play them all.
Quintin splurged his brain matter all over one of the best puzzle games in years, Space Chem.
John wasn't terribly surprised about any of the most successful PC games of 2010.
One man's animated riposte to a negative comment about his Flash game gave the entire internet megalaughs. "Bee-ah-koo-ahz..."
Minecraft has cake. And there was much rejoicing. Then the game reached one million users, and Notch probably did even more rejoicing.
Age of Decadence remains a point of some debate.
Cliff 'Gratuitous Space Battles' Harris' World of Love talk is an absolute must-watch for anyone even remotely interested in indie games - and especially for anyone who is/hopes to make one.
Stalker 2 details: this game needs to be on all our PCs right now, please.
John's still a bit pissed about that Tomb Raider screenshot drama.
Gemini Rue looks amazing, basically.
It's Mod News! You know Mod News - it's that news post all about mods.
Nifflas has blessed us with another game. Hooray!
Indie brain-bender Tealy and Orangey is pretty special, and not because its name references the only two colours used in Michael Bay movies.

What if there was no friction in GTA 4?
What would Zombie Cow's sadly cancelled third Dan and Ben game have been like? John prised the details from their cold, undead bovine hands.
Here's what's next for the RPS Game Club. Wanna play?
The creator of Fract explains all. Well, some. "Explains all" is the most abused phrase in the English language.
Jordan Mechner's The Last Express is unexpectedly back. Choo!
Alec isn't afraid of the dark, and has a request to make of game developers. Plus, half the comments thread didn't understand how screenshots differ from reality.
Semi-classic 2002 RPG Arx Fatalis has been given the kiss of life by its creators.
And finally, this man has invented glasses-free 3D gamings. Watching the comments thread is hilarious/horrifying.
