I wish Hotel Dusk: Room 215 was more accessible than it is. It has all the requisite ingredients to become a giant hit. It's a Japanese adventure game with a fantastic localisation, it was released on the Nintendo DS in 2007, at the height of its popularity, and it has a restless sketch-based visual style that immediately makes it stand out. The last decade's seen plenty of similar Nintendo DS adventure games get another chance at life and become wildly successful: Ghost Trick, Phoenix Wright, and the Zero Escape series.

I've always been fascinated by 3D printers but I've never known what I would do with one. When Shenzhen-based firm Elegoo offered to send their $350/£300/€350 Neptune 4 Plus for review, I figured I'd better take them up on their offer and find out just what's possible with a modern 3D printer - and what challenges awaited me as a complete beginner. Here's what I've discovered - from the gauntlet of the initial setup process to the successes and failures that have defined the first few weeks of 3D printing.

I've been thinking a lot about how to define Roll7 because actually, it's quite hard to do. You could call it the OlliOlli studio but would that really be correct, because what about Rollerdrome? What about Laser League? What about Not a Hero? You'd miss half of what the studio has done.

Yearly supporters, I've got a treat for you. To accompany the piece I published about Roll7 today, I've got some keys to give away for the studio's games. Rad! That's what skateboarders say isn't it?

Pablo Schreiber, the face (quite literally) behind Master Chief's helmet in Paramount's Halo adaptation, thinks it was a "huge mistake" to introduce a romantic relationship for the Spartan warrior. In fact, he pushed back against it.

Our Game of the Week is Another Code: Recollection. It's a lovely, generous reworking of two weird classics, and it's a perfect example of the oddities you get towards the end of the lifespan of a Nintendo console. But today I'd like to use it as a bit of a jumping-off point. Playing it this week I was reminded of how much I love games that give you gadgets to mess around with.

Like a lot of people, I suspect, I watched the trailer for Indiana Jones and The Great Circle, Bethesda's new game and pondered: what's the best Indy game we've gotten so far? I remember that NaturalMotion game from a while back which never came out - I've spoken over the years to people who played bits of it and said it was wonderful. It's harmonious, really: a game that has become a bit of a myth, buried by the sands of time.
