March and beyond on The Pixel Empire sees the spotlight shifting to role-playing games.
A classic of the 16-bit era. A modern masterpiece. A couple of the gems that never made it to European shores. Lots to discover! 👇😊 #gaming #retrogaming

In 2005, Destroy All Humans! would arrive courtesy of Pandemic Studios. Mixing alien tech, human destruction and explosive action, was it fun?

We're absolutely floored by the response to our Knightmare trailer and underestimated how big the reaction would be! We are so excited about the game and to be working with Hugo Myatt. Thanks so much for all the kind words and shares. More to come soon!

After Grandia proved one of the standout JRPGs of it's time, Game Arts would return with a sequel for Dreamcast. Was it a worthy successor?

Acclaim and Probe Entertainment would deliver a scrolling beat em' up based on Marvel's First Family in 1997. But was Fantastic Four good?

I'm 48 and over the course of my life my family and myself have owned about 12 different game consoles. Not once have I ever thought I have not owned a game, physical or digital, when I have purchased it. Especially when a tab says "BUY NOW".
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy.
It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it.

Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/…

What's the worst point and click game you've played? #gaming
In 2008, Sproing would bring point-and-click adventure to the Nintendo DS with Undercover: Dual Motives. Unfortunately, there's a reason it's not as well remembered as the likes of Ace Attorney or Hotel Dusk...
