Battlefleet gothic armada announcement

17/1/2015

 
Following on from the news the other day of Total War: Warhammer being very much confirmed, we bring you yet more Real-Time Strategy goodness from Games Workshop – This time in the form of fan favourite and specialist game Battlefleet Gothic.

That’s right! GW’s much loved space combat table top game is finally getting a digital makeover, called Battlefleet Gothic Armada, by Focus Interactive and Tindalos Games. Tindalos already have some space fleet pedigree with Stellar Impact, but let’s hope it’s more than just a reskin of their existing game.

They promise “deep management of every ship composing the player's fleet, both during and between battles” and will allow the player to “customize all aspects of his ships: weaponry, defence and support sub-systems, etc.” with “each customization affecting the very performances of the ship and the special abilities available during battle”.

Here’s hoping they can do the game justice – the screenshots certainly look fantastic. Read the full announcement here:

Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition Rekeases New Screenshots, Concept Art and Music Samples

15/10/2013

Before there was Mass Effect Bioware were busy delving into the Forgotten Realms in search of adventure and they struck gold with the Baldur's Gate series. For many this was their entry point into RPG's and the memory of this game has remained a constant source of frustration that the series was never brought up to date.
(The above may just be me (Paul), but I love the Forgotten Realms Books with the Dark Elf Trilogy being my favourite series. So the Baldur's gate games naturally fit into my love for the world).
So it is with baited breath that I await the 15th of November to arrive when (as long as my new PC has arrived) I will get the chance to play the enhanced version of the game. To tied many like me over we have a few screens and a link to the Beamdog Soundcloud page where you can listen to some wonderful audio while you go about your day.

Looking Back: When I got Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Back in 1998 Matt was lucky enough to take the rather knowledgeable advice of an assistant at his local independent game shop and delve into the world of Zelda for the first time.

You can read about his experence with the Robin Hood inspired Link and Ocarina of Time here

James Pond is back in a Codename Robocod reboot.

21/9/2013

 
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, and just hearing the name James Pond makes me miss my old Sega Mega Drive.

Well the folks at System 3 the most successful independent publisher in the UK, are bringing the underwater agent to pretty much every format imaginable from Android to the Vita and the next gen consoles. The mobile platforms will just get a straight conversion from the retro classic. The handhelds console and PC will be receiving a whole new reimaging of the classic game.
Launch is slated for early 2014, hopefully my licence (to kill) will be ready by then.
