This is a giant mechanical monster thing which pulls itself out of the lava by its chains, and when it does you can see its spinal cord. 100% cash.

This is a 10/10 boss design and it's in a dungeon the vast majority of new players will never see.

Well the good news is that esports is a real profit maker, so I'm sure all the scenes / events that would fail without PIF investment have nothing to worry about.

Analogue 3D review - better late than never, this N64 redux is another best-in-class retro experience Analogue is back with a new high-end retro console - and this time it's the N64 getting the update treatment. But is it any good?

It's a very specific product for a very specific sort of person - but if that person is you, the Analogue 3D is another total slam dunk. It's excellent. More thoughts: www.eurogamer.net/analogue-3d-...

When you write Steam reviews like this you should probably lead with that last part.

You are of course correct. However If Mortal Kombat Kollection wins this year we should be stripped of even that.

A love letter to Peter Jackson's King Kong video game, the first great achievement hunter pick-up Peter Jackson's King Kong has left an indelible mark - on my gamerscore.

Who doesn't love a slightly mid launch title with ambitious ideas? The 360 had some all-timers, including a particular favourite of mine, which I've written about today as part of Eurogamer's coverage marking the 360's 20th, which is this week: www.eurogamer.net/a-love-lette...
