The Invincible review – gorgeous sci-fi that doesn’t quite take off
The Invincible is a spectacular adaptation of Stanisław Lem’s book, but it’s limited in terms of what you can do in it, and the impact on the story you have. The Invincible is my kind of science fiction. When I look up at the stars, I feel wonder and mystery, and romance, even. I believe…

An evil, Dark Urge playthrough of Baldur’s Gate 3
Today is bitter-sweet because I need to let you know Emma has decided to move on from writing her monthly column, Emma’s Adventures. She’s had fun with them, she says, and appreciates all your kind remarks, but she wants to use the significant time they take to write to focus on a new direction in…

Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora can be awkward but I’m a sucker for the fantasy and it delivers it
I’m relieved. I worried about the new Avatar game when I read Chris’ preview earlier in the year because there was footage of gunfights and talk of loot systems and crafting. And I thought to myself, ‘That’s not it – that’s not the Avatar fantasy.’ I like the films – there I’ve said it –…

Remedy’s Sam Lake answers your Alan Wake 2 questions and more
When I asked you – the Eurogamer readers – whether you had any questions for Remedy Entertainment’s Sam Lake, I wasn’t expecting quite the outpouring I got. I thought maybe there’d be a couple of dozen questions, perhaps more, but you submitted well over 100. It’s a lot more than I imagined would come in,…

The cosiest game of the winter may well be Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley
Was Snufkin always so rebellious in the Moomin TV show – or in the comic strip or in the books? I think I skewed a bit old for the TV show when it arrived so I never watched it on purpose. I watched it by accident and quite enjoyed it, but I can’t remember anything…

Inside Nintendo in the 1990s: Star Fox, late nights and making the N64
[ad_1] Japan, 1993, in the city of Kyoto, and two young men are on a bike. They’re on the busiest crossing in the city and clearly, they’re drunk. Westerners. Inside their bags, they have papers they probably shouldn’t have – confidential papers. Confidential Nintendo papers. And in a few hazy post-pub moments, these papers are…

[ad_1] Remedy Entertainment’s creative director Sam Lake will be at EGX this weekend, talking about the return of Alan Wake. He’ll be on the EGX Theatre stage from 3pm BST on Friday 13th. To coincide with him being at the show, I’m going to be interviewing him. But because Victoria has recently done such a…

Dungeons & Dragons and the thrill of nearly losing everything in a game
[ad_1] We came this close to a total party kill in Dungeons & Dragons the other day, which means our whole group was nearly wiped out. And it really rattled me. I think it rattled the whole group. Even the Dungeon Master seemed shaken by it, which I didn’t expect. And when he told us…
