News THQ Nordic's Spending Spree Expands to Alone in the Dark
It Carnby true
THQ Nordic is a company with a lot of cash, and it’s buying every dormant intellectual property it can get its greedy little hands on. Next up: survival horror Alone in the Dark, which it’s clawed away from the clutches of Atari Europe for an undisclosed fee. The company also picked up real-time strategy series Act of War, which...
What's past is prologue
Back when Atari’s attorneys rocked up on Jeff Minter’s farm and issued one of his prize llamas with a cease and desist letter, it seemed unlikely that Tempest 4000 would ever release on consoles. The eccentric industry veteran had planned on porting the PS Vita’s agonisingly underappreciated TxK to the PlayStation 4,...
News Tempest 4000 Rated for Release on the PS4
Don't be a-llama-ed
Game development icon Jeff Minter’s public spat with Atari had a very happy ending: he’s been allowed to make Tempest 4000 for the PlayStation 4. And it looks like the title’s release is imminent, seeing as it’s just racked up a PEGI rating, suggesting that it’s (almost) ready to go. The game – which looks exactly as...
News Tube-Shooting Psychadelica Returns with Tempest 4000

Now the publisher appears to have made the peace with the creator, announcing that Minter's own Llamasoft...

News Blimey: Test Drive Unlimited 2 Developers Go On Strike

News Test Drive Unlimited 2 Players To Get Free DLC, Hot Cocoa As An Apology For Borked Launch
Confession: we lied about the hot cocoa bit

News UK Sales Charts: Test Drive Unlimited 2 Takes Pole Position

Well sort of anyway
Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a strange beast. It's not just about burning rubber and crashing cars, it's about socialising in an enormous open-world too. The game boasts pseudo-MMO components that allow you to get your The Sims on and start creating characters, customising wardrobes and go dancing. It's an unusual marriage, but one...

News Test Drive Unlimited 2 Ferrari Trailer Is Like A Porn Movie
Do you like Ferraris? Atari does
Check out this trailer for Test Drive Unlimited 2 - the slow piano music, the sweeping shots of the car's body. It's sensual, erotic. It's also kinda dumb. We prefer these racing game trailers to have blistering drum and bass music and cars jumping over hills.

News Developer Explains Ghostbusters: The Video Game Graphical Deficiencies
