Gameglobe Preview: Playful Creation from the Land of Lego
Can a bunch of triple-A console game veterans take on Sackboy with a free-to-play game?
Sometimes it feels like everyone has a game inside them: some vision they would have already made if it wasn't for a lack of spare time, money, programming skill or motivation.

Feature | Retrospective: Anachronox
Hall of fame.
What a strange beast Anachronox is. Ion Storm's 'other' game, unfortunately buried at the time by Deus Ex hype and Daikatana-related snickering, is a grand and ambitious adventure with trimmings of Japanese RPG. Sumptuously weird, it's set in a sci-fi world that bustles with imagination, filled with characters that dodge every video game stereotype. It's an unusual, brilliant thing.

Feature | Game of the Week: Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown
Kick, punch, you all remember.
Game of the Week is back, after a short, E3-imposed hiatus when we were a mite too busy looking at games of the future to remember the games of the present. Happily the last three weeks hasn't been as hectic a period of new releases as the same period last year, when the games business attempted to slip everything from Duke Nukem Forever to Child of Eden (via Dungeon Siege 3, Hunted, inFamous 2 and Alice: Madness Returns) past us while we weren't looking.
