Retro gaming doesn’t just apply to consoles. While consoles and PCs take up the majority of retro gamers’ time, there’s a growing market that wants to experience the world of retro mobile gaming. By that, we don’t mean playing retro games on your modern device, although it’s definitely worth looking into doing that as well. No, we’re talking about revisiting older mobile devices and playing the games that were available on those devices back in the day.  This trend was likely started by people firing up their old Nokia 3210 or 3310 devices and playing a game or two of…

You’d be forgiven for not remembering the MSX. It was created as a joint venture between Microsoft and the ASCII Corporation back in 1983 and was swiftly buried beneath the encroaching avalanche of the NES, which was about to completely dominate the gaming landscape for a number of years (until the arrival of Nintendo’s own SNES followup, in fact). That’s a shame, because the MSX actually has a lot of great games to offer. Many of the franchises you love likely got their start on the MSX, including some surprising ones; Konami championed this machine early, and it gave us…

Say what you will about the Nintendo Wii (and many did), but it was undeniably a rip-roaring success. Many debate whether the PS3 or the Xbox 360 won the seventh console generation, but the simple fact of the matter is that the Wii emerged dominant, although other metrics might crown a different victor. A large part of the Wii’s success was down to the sheer number of multiplayer games it offered, as well as the large amount of control schemes available. If you had a Wii, then you could easily call friends over and be playing something with them in…

Final Fantasy XIV is truly a success story for the ages. After a disastrous launch back in 2010 – albeit one that still has its adherents to this day – producer Naoki Yoshida was brought on board to salvage the sinking ship. His solution was to revamp the entire FFXIV experience, turning it into something more akin to other modern MMORPGs but with a Final Fantasy-themed twist. The transition was rampantly successful, with the resulting product, A Realm Reborn, turning the game’s fortunes around in a single swoop. Critical acclaim would follow, with three excellent expansions (well, two excellent expansions…

Writing games is a different sort of quest than writing stories. Game writers combine their fiction writing skills with coding to create something truly unique. They bring forth their innovation, ingenuity, creativity, and story-telling skills to bring a story to life. They invoke a sense of wonder, drama, adventure, and so much more in the player. Video game writing is not an ordinary skill. It requires a specific skill set, not to mention a craze for this niche. If you wish to become a game writer, follow the steps given below to help develop your career; 1. Get a high…

The Sega CD is an oft-overlooked little marvel of a machine. You might know it better as the Mega-CD, since that was the name Sega gave to it in many regions around the world. Whatever you call it, the Sega CD is a CD-based add-on for the Mega Drive (or Genesis, depending on where you live) that adds CD functionality, as well as better CPU power and the capability for improved graphics. Some of the best games in the Mega Drive’s lifetime were released for the Sega CD addon. It gave developers new and exciting tools to play with, resulting…

2021 was a good year for online games, but it has left us wanting something spectacular. We saw the release of several huge multiplayer games and a continued massive interest in social gaming but no one game has quite emerged as the new “lifestyle game”. Perhaps most notably, this year saw Amazon release their much-awaited open world MMO New World, and while it hasn’t been without its fair share of issues it still managed to captivate hundreds of thousands of gamers. Yet this player base continues to fall and 2022 might see it fall even further. Similarly, the co-op shooter…

Whatever else you can say about 2021, it’s probably been a slightly better year than 2020. While things have definitely not yet gotten back to normal (and it might be some time before that happens), the world has been slowly approaching a sense of normalcy, and we’re no longer reeling from a sudden, unexpected change of circumstances in the way we were last year. 2021 has also been a slightly better year for the gaming industry, with many companies able to avoid the kind of delays 2020 brought to their work. While the rest of November and December could bring…

World War II is a conflict that sticks indelibly in the popular consciousness. Although this war was arguably just as morally grey as others, it’s clear that the Nazi party and Hitler represent villains towards which the world could unify in their hatred. That probably also explains why there are so many World War 2 games; people want to defeat uncomplicated enemies, and the Nazis are about as uncomplicated as it gets (for the most part, anyway). Here are the best World War 2 games you can play right now. Call of Duty: Vanguard (PC, PlayStation, Xbox) Sledgehammer Games’ latest…

Have you ever wondered what you can do with a data center server? Have you wondered which is better between a server and proxies? In this article we will clear things up so that you can understand the different uses of data center servers. What is a Data Center Server? Many businesses hold most of their data and programs in independent computer storage areas, known as data centers. Those are the cold rooms filled from wall to wall with stacked computers that you’ve likely seen images of. A data center server is a similar concept. It is essentially a service…

In today’s business world, marketing is a tough challenge for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Ubisoft has come under a lot of criticism in recent years for its formulaic open-world map design. In most Ubisoft games, you start off uncovering just a small amount of the map, climbing towers and gradually revealing more of the game’s explorable area. This is true of Far Cry, Assassin’s Creed, Ghost Recon, Watch Dogs, and even Grow Up, but it looks like Ubisoft is starting to learn its lesson. Far Cry 5 lets players explore its map however they want, and now Riders Republic is taking that lesson to heart once again by offering its entire map for players’…

“Talent borrows, genius steals” is a quote most often attributed to famous wit Oscar Wilde, although he’s had so many quotes attributed to him that it’s hard to know which ones he actually said. His point was that if you’re smart, you’ll incorporate ideas from other sources into your work, but if you’re really clever, then you’ll just steal them wholesale and pass them off as your own. It’s a typically self-deprecating quote (assuming Wilde did actually say it), but it tells us a lot about games like Back 4 Blood as well. So, into which of these two categories…

The Call of Duty series presents an interesting paradox. To an outside observer, the franchise seems merely to tick along, with no particular instalment excelling or causing too much ire. On the other hand, the fanbase is very vocal and very opinionated (as, perhaps, one should expect from any fanbase), with each subsequent Call of Duty game deemed either to have saved the franchise or to have damned it for all eternity. Into which category, then, falls Call of Duty: Vanguard? Sledgehammer Games began work on the Call of Duty franchise in earnest with Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, its…

Madden NFL 22 is the latest offering from the long-time running franchise. John Madden was born in 1936 and was originally a Coach and later in his career, a well-known sportscaster. Given that he won a title with the Oakland Raiders as head coach and also the number of years he spent commentating, it’s only fitting that he has the most popular football game of all time. While there have been many other NFL based games, Madden is the staple of the industry as far as NFL games are concerned. One thing people have also used Madden for over the…

FIFA, the game. Starting way back in 1993, FIFA has been a staple of the gaming industry.
