The Thief Gold HD Texture Mod has hit version 1.0 after a couple years’ development, turning Looking Glass Studios’ 15+ year old stealth-em-up a lot… well, I wouldn’t say prettier, ‘cause Thief’s universe is hardly pretty.

Last year, before E3, and back when Dambuster Studios was still called Crytek Nottingham and hadn’t been sold to Deep Silver, I saw a presentation of Homefront: The Revolution in action.

Pop quiz! Did you know it’s possible to see Lisa, the disturbing ghost from P.T., in the basement room that you start the game in? I didn’t.

Hey Heroes of the Storm Abathur players, I need to ASKathur you a question. Sorry.

“We probably should have announced the run button before launch…” So say the developers of the new (and pretty good!) story-and-exploration game Everybody’s Gone to The Rapture.
