Cancelled Warcraft Game Reappears After 18 Years. You Too Can Play It Now!
If you're an ardent fan of Warcraft and as besotted as my neighbor who has been playing the series since Orcs and Humans, then you must've definitely heard about the fate of Warcraft Adventures: Lord of the Clans, a whimsical point-and-click video game set in the Warcraft Universe that was ultimately cancelled in 1998. The story centered on Thrall, the Orc who escapes human captivity after years of being slaved and proceeds on a personal journey to discover his heritage and reunite the clans. Thrall was voiced by Clancy Brown popular for his role in Highlander and as Byron Hadley, the Captain Guard in Shawshank Redemption. He also voiced Blackhand, the antagonist warchief in the cinematic version of Warcraft, 2016. Peter Cullen gave his legendary vocals to the character of Orgrim Doomhammer. Classic British actor and baritone voice artist Tony Jay played Drek'Thar.

Extra Life for Some Old Games
L + Down, R + C-Right, R + C-Up, L + Right, L + C-Down, R + C-Up, L + Right, R + Down, L + Left, L + R + C-Right. I still remember the code for invincibility on Goldeneye for the N64, not the most useful thing to remember anymore but it might be soon enough.

NeuroVoider Is Digital Eye Candy from the Retro Era
It was nearly 30 years ago when I was sitting in my father's lap with an NES controller in my hand as he guided me through Hyrule. Now, we find ourselves distanced from those classic games. It's because of my dad that I've become attached to the 8-bit to 32-bit games.

Are you ready for some serious feels as we head down the rocky Australian memory lane? Is he a fox? Why is he wearing jeans? What the Aku Aku is a bandicoot? Dust off your old Play Station, because it is time to revisit the Crash Bandicoot series. He may look as much like a bandicoot as Arthur does an aardvark, or Taz a Tasmanian Devil, but here is how our furry friend managed to jump, ride and spin his way into our hearts.

Sonic The Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog is by now a globally recognised icon, but even the most bombastic of icons has to have a humble beginning, and Sonic's story begins in the appropriately titled 'Sonic the Hedgehog', often affectionately known as 'Sonic 1', being the place where it all started. Originally released on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1991, it has since been ported to a large number of other outlets and devices, most recently in 2013 for mobile devices in a remastered edition. A game over 25 years old is still in demand, still widely played and recognised by gamers and casual players alike.

Design Sins #1 “Die Once, You May as Well Quit”
Creating a great video game is like digital alchemy — part science, part art, and art is subjective. Because of this, what makes a game "great" is also subjective. Some people may love a game, whilst others may hate it, for the exact same reasons! My youngest daughter loves Mario because he is cartoony and cute. I hate Mario because he is cartoony and cute.
