How To Get Into Warhammer 40,000

By

Warhammer 40,000 has never been more popular, with thousands of new people getting involved with the epic, grimdark universe every year. But it’s a dense, complicated thing to tackle, especially if you’re a beginner. If you’ve seen the images of Space Marines with their massive guns and even bigger shoulder pads and wanted to get involved, it’s a daunting task to even just work out where to begin… or even what Warhammer 40,000 is. Is Warhammer 40k a series of books? A video game franchise? A tabletop game? An animated show? Well, it’s all of them – and you can…

South of Midnight Review (PS5)

By

South of Midnight is the kind of game Microsoft would have had to consistently publish to make its Xbox Game Pass subscription truly succeed. This is a relatively straightforward 12-hour adventure with little in the way of gameplay innovation, yet it ships with such stunning presentation and design that you feel compelled to play it anyway. South of Midnight is good, and that’s nearly all down to its visual and audio design. It’s so striking and impressive that it makes the experience worthwhile. From the We Happy Few developer Compulsion Games, this PS5 port arrives in the same shape as…

Review: Devil Jam (Nintendo Switch)

By

Today, we have a new entry from Rogueside: Devil Jam. No, this is not some sort of satanic strawberry preserves or grapes of wrath jelly; it’s a roguelite survivor game with all sorts of underworld critters to dispatch. Oddly enough, some of them do look a bit like blobs of jelly. Go figure. Let’s start with the sights and sounds; given the game’s theme, these are rather important. The graphics are rendered with good detail. You don’t have to worry about pixelation, but the top-down view still means things may be a bit small, leaving the finer details hard to…

A former GameStop exec thought building its Steam competitor would be his ‘forever job,’ but the retailer bet the house on digital distribution being ‘a passing phase’

By

Before a career second act at Nightdive Studios, the recently-retired Larry Kuperman’s big project was Impulse. It was to be GameStop’s answer to Steam, but it went the way of the dodo in 2014. Kuperman went into his personal history building up Impulse’s catalogue when we spoke at this year’s Game Developers Conference.Kuperman came to the games industry about halfway through his professional career, with both his story and that of Impulse beginning at Stardock, a software company that was branching out into games. Stardock’s management was thinking in terms of digital distribution early⁠—Kuperman started in 2001⁠—and the company was…
