Review | Torchlight 2 review
A night to re-ember.
About an hour into Torchlight 2 I'd already hit Level 8, and that was a pretty nice state of affairs. What was even better was that I'd been invited to visit Plunder Cove by a ghostly ferryman type in order to smack around some undead sailors who had done him a wrong'un.

Ulala vs. Ryu and a thousand giant ants: the games of TGS
The best games that you may never play from this year's Tokyo Game Show.
There was a single image that summed up this year's E3 perfectly, and with a little alteration it pretty much does the trick for Tokyo Game Show 2012 too. Whereas western developers seem transfixed with Naughty Dog's semi-interactive model, in Japan there's still a rush to emulate Monster Hunter's unending success. Every game announced at Sony's conference seemed to be about tackling huge beasts in expansive environments - a theme that carried through to many parts of the show floor itself.

Feature | Retrospective: Project IGI
All your bases.
Sneaking into bases is just the best thing. There's the feeling of anticipation as you scan the perimeter of a hulking military installation, the satisfaction of stealth kills and security camera outages as you breach its walls and (of course) that feeling of utter terror when the alarm is triggered and identical men in red berets start sprinting in rough diagonals towards you.

Opinion | Saturday Soapbox: Let the good times role
Is the resurgence of old-school RPGs down to more than simple nostalgia?
We humans are excellent at harking back to golden ages. The very phrase comes from the ancient Greeks, who believed that they were the bastardised remnants of human species of gold and silver.

Digital Foundry | Tech Comparison: Dark Souls PC
Prepare to dial up the resolution.
In true Dark Souls spirit, two bells were ominously tolled before the game's much-anticipated PC release. The first came via a Famitsu interview with series director Hidetaka Miyazaki, where it was inferred that the game would not be supporting the higher resolutions available on PC, and that there was absolutely no ambition within the team to improve on the visual quality seen in the console versions. Naturally, fans hoped the point on resolution in particular to be a translation mishap - a miswording, maybe - being as unlikely as it was for a high-profile PC game to ship with a fixed resolution.
