Preview - PC Building Simulator taught me how to change a motherboard


PC building simulator - geforce GPU
PC Building Simulator is the kind of game you always wanted without knowing it.
A bit like Euro Truck Simulator. You think it's going to be one of these boring simulators , then you get addicted and you even want to start working for real as a computer repair technician. If only it paid as much in real life as it does in this game.

ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove has the funkiest OST since Interstate 76

Scheduled to be released during this year (hopefully Q3 2018) on PC/Linux/macOS, Switch, Xbox One, and PS4, ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove, remake of the first ToeJam & Earl on Megadrive in 1991, is already starting to show off some of the grooviest tunes you've ever heard!

Sonic Mania Plus! coming this summer!

This summer 2018, Sonic Mania will be updated and renamed "Sonic Mania Plus!".
(I wouldn't have thought of it myself...)

What do we get in this new package? (which won't be a free update, by the way.)
Among other things, Mighty the armadillo and Ray the flying squirrel will be playable!

2 more guys added to Sonic Mania! This game is starting to lack girls! Where is Amy? Oh, I forgot, there's a mod to add her too.

Neverwinter Nights gets enhanced treatment

Neverwinter Nights, one of the most respected turn-based RPGs since its release in 2002, is re-released on Steam as an "enhanced edition", featuring HD resolutions, some shaders and questionable post processing effects, and maybe more useful, better modding support, although it seemed to work almost perfectly before anyway.
All previously released DLCS are also included.

Review - ICONOCLASTS - Marvellous, fascinating, ambitious.

The first area in Iconoclasts

Finally, after waiting more than 10 years, Iconoclasts is released.
Except Grimoire - Heralds of the Winged Exemplar, I'm not sure we ever heard of a game which took longer to make. 

And boy, was the developer right to take his sweet time.
Because the final product is extremely pleasant and addictive, enormously ambitious and beautifully made, and it manages to draw you into a magical 2D adventure which surpasses almost every Metroidvania we've seen in the last 20 years.

AUGUST 2018 UPDATE!
Version 1.15 brings:
- a new Boss Rush mode
- a Relaxed difficulty setting for those who want to soak in its fascinating story without getting too challenged
- a bunch of minor bugfixes.

Modding News: Two new tracks for ASSETTO CORSA!

The Curse of Monkey Island released on GOG!



The Curse of Monkey Island is finally available on GOG!

Coming to us right from the golden age of LucasArts, a classic point-and-click game, as we called them back then in 1997, 21 years ago!
It hasn't aged a bit, if you asked us.

Review - HEROES OF HAMMERWATCH - Hammered by the grind


Heroes of Hammerwatch - the npcs you'll find in the dungeon will go back to the town

So, the new Hammerwatch by Crackshell (I assume that horrible website was made as a joke?😅) is now a proper "roguelite", with procedurally generated levels, which really improves the replayability which was somewhat limited in the first game.
Unfortunately, it's also a bit frustrating at times, and eventually becomes way too grindy, although the developer seems to want to balance it out in the recent updates.
