Martin Hollis, who while with Rare was one of the men behind the original GoldenEye on the Nintendo 64, has some kind words to say about Activision, the publisher pushing the remake.

Unreal Tournament and the Unreal series in general have produced some pretty amazing weapons with equally impressive alternate firing modes. Some of my personal…

Talk Amongst Yourselves
We’d love for you to talk about video games right here. Notice that the art is different today? The artist for the work we originally chose to feature for the month of September in TAY does not want his work used. Fair enough. We’ll use Peter Paul Rubens’ ”La chasse au tigre, au lion et…

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath Is Back!
Developer Just Add Water is working on a HD remake of Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath. That’s the good news. The bad news, at least for Xbox owners, is that for now it seems to be a PS3 exclusive. It’s a cruel irony that one of the few original Xbox games that was never made compatible with…

Any Skies Of Arcadia Fans In The House?
You should take a look at Pirates of New Horizons. It’s not a new Skies of Arcadia game, but since you probably won’t ever get one of those, this might be as good as it gets! It’s an indie action adventure by Exit Strategy Entertainment, and while the main character looks a little “floaty”, the…
