Will we find winter warmth in The Dark Below?

December 15, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The game is dividing opinion and I find myself agreeing with points made by both sides.

The proof is in the pudding, or should that be in the pizza, and I find […]

June 18, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I don’t think this is what the hobby means by Old School Renaissance. That said; if you fancy a bit of retro clone action with D&D then you can download Chronicles of Mystara. The download is a revamp of two classic D&D comptuer game titles; Tower of Doom and Shadow over Mystara. It’s a feast […]

Chronicles of Mystara combines two old school D&D scrollers

March 22, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 1 Comment

At PAX East Capcom announced Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara. Is this anything new? Not at all. This is very old. Chronicles of Mystara combine two ancient scroller beat’em ups from the Golden Axe era. In this case we’re talking about Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom and Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow over Mystara. […]

40 games confirmed for Xbox Live on Windows 8

August 31, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Windows 8 is creating debate among the gaming community. Valve are worried about the prospect of a Windows 8 store being an alternative and a pain in the butt for Steam. Others worry whether the shift Windows 8 represents is pro or anti-gaming. Microsoft, though, have been busy stressing that there will be great interaction […]

The live action Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 ad

June 11, 2012 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think it’s safe to say that it can be pretty hard to create TV worthy ads for any roleplaying (or related) game. Even the best attempts can come across as cheesy. Computer game companies, I think, have had the most success and they’ve done this by simply tapping into the games themselves and letting […]
