    One of the best indie games of the last decade is less than $2

    Between Resident Evil , Silent Hill, and smaller, independent hits like The Mortuary Assistant, some of the most terrifying moments in videogames are also the most subtle. The Licker crawling past the window in RE2. The steady swell of static on James Sunderland's radio. The litt

    Music Week: Someone should make a game about: Frank Ocean's Channel Orange

    Hello! Welcome to a Someone Should... with a Music Week twist. A classic album tangled with a classic piece of hardware. We all have a sound which reminds us of our gaming childhood. For me, it's the Artisans theme in Spyro The Dragon. For Frank Ocean, evidently, it's the Street

    Firewatch is taking another stab at a film adaptation

    Firewatch, developer Campo Santo's acclaimed 2014 first-person narrative mystery, is getting a second chance at getting the movie adaptation treatment. Word of a Firewatch film adaptation first broke in 2016, when it was reported that Campo Santo had signed a deal with production

    Have You Played Firewatch?

    Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. One of my favourite game-related anecdotes to tell – y’know, to get out at the fancy dinner parties we have where games journalists get together to collude and decide which g

    The 32 best PC games that demand to be played in ultrawide

    There’s an old saying in gaming monitor circles that once you’ve gone ultrawide, there’s no going back. Indeed, having had the vast Samsung CRG9 hogging my desk for a bit last month, I’m inclined to agree. But what do games actually look like on a screen this wide? It’s one thing

    Firewatch devs put In The Valley Of Gods on hold

    It is a sad day for pretend archaeology. Firewatch developers Campo Santo have placed In The Valley Of Gods on hold, instead choosing to work on Half-Life: Alyx, Dota Underlords, and other Valve projects. This follows their move to Valve last year, which John (RPS in peace) quizz

    Little Libraries: Firewatch built a community one cache at a time

    At the moment I live on the border of two councils, which means I have two sets of library systems and two library cards. Both library systems are a delight. The Jubilee Library in Brighton is a vast airy place with three light wells in the roof and an upper floor that seems to a

    How YouTube let's plays are preserving video game history

    It s a long-observed fact that the phenomenon of the YouTube let s play has benefits beyond just entertaining viewers and gradually introducing teenagers to neo-Nazism via YouTube’s algorithm. For developers, for example, getting a popular YouTuber to play their latest title can

    Firewatch s walkie-talkie friendship is what made it stand out

    First-person walking simulators can be pretty low-budget. That isn t to say that they can t look beautiful, as the Hebrides does in Dear Esther , which pioneered the ‘walking here for a bit of story there’ sub-genre. Making super detailed character models and animations? That s c

    Games set in the 1980s don t need to be painted in neon

    I ve never been myself, but if games have taught me anything about the 80s, it s that they were wild. Big hair, big clothes, big music it was all there. If you were to use Grand Theft Auto: Vice City as a sole reference for the period, you d assume that everyone was constantly wa

    Steam Summer Sale recommendations: 2018 edition!

    The old quote is wrong: neither death nor taxes are, it seems to me, as terrifyingly certain as the Steam Summer Sale . Yes, once more we can add to the heap that is our backlog by buying games for, what, five quid, on average? But there are so many to choose from that it’s easy
