  8. Disney Infinity review

    Review | Disney Infinity review

    Brand on the run.

Look, there's Rapunzel! Here's Wreck-It Ralph! And, of course, Mickey, here to ease you into Infinity's deep world of crossover branding with a little sparkle.

  16. Captain Forever: A space odyssey

    Feature | Captain Forever: A space odyssey

    How a free Flash game took Jarrad "Farbs" Woods into orbit.

Within a few months he'd reached his destination, spinning through a Petri dish cosmos, blasting whirligig enemies when they swarmed in from all angles, and picking over their remains once the killing was done. His launch vehicle of choice was a freeware Flash game called Captain Forever that took him mere weeks to construct, and in the years that followed it has spawned two richly ingenious sequels. With work on a far more elaborate fourth instalment now under way, it seemed like a good time to find out how things are going - and to look back on the journey so far.
