Cue stammering eldritch horrors with bright red blushing cheeks. April Fools' Day is (thankfully) over now, but there's good news for anyone who has been enjoying the lovef...

He was talking about his upcoming game Thick as Thieves, a multiplayer immersive sim that's basically Thief, except other people are trying to pull off the same heist as you on the same map, with all of you racing to get the loot first.

Earlier this week the team behind Oblivion remake mod Skyblivion put out a call for some "final" and "vital" veteran help to get their work over the line in 2026.

However, Skyblivion's project lead Kyle 'Rebelzize' Rebel says it's not a sign that ...

"The year is 2009," opens the 1.0 launch trailer for Xenonauts 2, a sentence that tickles me greatly considering the game's alternate future vibes. It presents a vision of the world that differed greatly from my actual experience of worrying about swine flu and whether or not Yu-Gi-Oh! was cool any more. And yet that is the reality of the turn-based tactics game, which exits out of early access almost three years after its initial release.
