Feature | Devil Daggers feels like Vlambeer made a Doom game
Raises hell, high scores.
Devil Daggers opens with your nameless protagonist in an empty abyss beckoned to snag the game's titular weapon. Do so and an endless stream of demons will descend upon you as you flee, fire, and hop your way to a very quick demise. Your character may be resurrecting unspeakable horrors by grabbing this weapon, but it's really developer Sorath who's digging deep into the genre's forgotten past to bring us an otherworldly arcade adventure unlike anything out there today.

Video | Watch: Six lost levels you'll never get to play
Deleted to meet you.
I love looking at deleted scenes from films, especially ones that tell a story we didn't get to experience in the final cinematic release. For example, there are the deleted scenes from The Empire Strikes Back in which the wooly Wompa runs amok in the Rebel base on Hoth.

Digital Foundry | Is it finally time to upgrade your Core i5 2500K?
How far does overclocking actually take you and how does the classic i5 compare with today's Intel CPUs?
There aren't many pieces of PC hardware that actually qualify as genuine gaming icons, but Intel's vintage 2011 Core i5 2500K is surely one of them. It was the right processor at the right time - providing immense levels of single-core performance (good for old games) along with a quad-core configuration that serviced more modern titles admirably. And it could overclock easily. In fact, it could positively fly. Five years on, many PC gamers refuse to relinquish the classic i5. Our question: is now the time to upgrade. Can the 2500K still cut it?

Feature | Reading and writing in Ice-Bound, an unmissable narrative game
(And a bit about Jack Reacher, of all people.)
Something strange happens when I search for this poem. Something that feels funny and subversive and maybe a little bleak. I type: "There lies a den," and then Google drops in to help me. So eager to get involved. "Dental hygienist?" it prompts.

Feature | The remembrance of things parsed
Usborne have released their early 1980s Computing Guides as free downloads. Why are people hooting about this?
I generally have limited shrift for Gen X childhood nostalgia media. Things from the past turn up again. You have changed. They have not. You had to be there. But when Usborne released their 1980s computing kids books as free downloads, how much sharper than a serpent's tooth the pang of sentiment.

Digital Foundry | Watch: Let's play Street Fighter 4 and 5 simultaneously
Digital Foundry experiments with a live Face-Off between two generations of the Capcom fighting series.
We've produced hundreds of platform comparisons over the last nine years, but few that concentrate exclusively on the differences between one franchise entry and its shinier, more modern successor. With the arrival of Street Fighter 5, we thought we'd have a little fun - we decided to use our dual-system control set-up (a system we first used here) to play versus mode Street Fighter 4 and its sequel simultaneously. In effect, it would be an actual live Face-Off - the edited highlights of which you can watch in the video below.

Feature | In Play: What would a game about death look like?
A glimpse of the infinite?
It's not often I awake with a line from the Bible rattling around in my head, but this morning I opened my eyes, stared at the silvery dawn and thought, apropos of nothing, "There is death in the pot."

Video | Watch: Are fighting games losing popularity?
Here's this week's Eurogamer Show.

Feature | Looking for Michael Bay: The Video Game
Kaboom.
Did you know that Michael Bay is making another Transformers? Number five in the series is being prepped right now. This fact can be a little confusing if you are under the misapprehension that critical feedback, from critics and public alike, are the main influencers when it comes to making more of something. I didn't see Transformers 4 - sorry, Dark Of The Moon - but I tried to watch Transformers 3 (I forget its gravel-voiced subtitle). I lasted for maybe thirty minutes before deciding to do something else, anything else, instead.

Watch yet another mind-blowing Super Mario Maker level conquered
Plus a stage that took 108 hours for its designer to defeat.
One of the chief joys of Super Mario Maker isn't playing it, nor designing levels, but simply watching other, more dedicated players, tackle the fiendish challenges only the most devious of designers can concoct. The latest in this saga of sadistic stages is Jordan O'Hara's Time for a T-Break, which debuted on 2nd December and has only recently been bested by someone on YouTube.

Review | Californium review
Golden state of mind.
I'm sat in a chair stabbing at a clacking typewriter in an attempt to get Californium's central character, sci-fi hack Elvin Green, out of a fug of cheap beer and amphetamines and over his writing block, when there's a hollow thump, thump, thump at the door. And so I stand, look out across Green's scrappy Berkeley apartment and set towards the door.
