  1. Interview Morrowinding Skyrim

    Bethesda still lacks one thing, a good writer. They should also replace their animators, maybe buy a motion capture machine, and maybe use the engine from that id team. And bring back staves. And stop with the stream lining. But mostly, it's the writing.

  2. Ultima 6 Project hits Beta

    OMFG! It's like coming home. This is Role Playing Goodness, the characters, the conversations, the depth (and sandboxy width) of the world, the soul infused throughout it... This is not a world designed by committee, but one dreamed into being by Richard Garriot - and it shines through...

  3. Ultima 6 Project hits Beta

    Wow, 6 was my first ever rpg, never finished it, now I finally get the chance to, in better graphics, on a laptop better than the original system I first played it on. Just need to find my DS disks - fuck!

  4. Game News Things get even more X-TREME: Jan 26, 2010

    Can't wait.

  5. Review English Risen Reviews are cropping up

    Whereas corridor based gaming is the pinnacle of that art form (mass effect, alpha protocol, hl2, nwn2 etc etc etc). IMHO.

  6. Game News Obsidian can't get Alpha Protocol out the door

    Hur hur, he said Fallout... in comparison to AP 1) James Bond, 'You killed my whore. I'm going to kill you - once I've finished my martini.' 2) Jason Bourne, 'You killed that whore, you're a dead man walking.' 3) Jack Bauer, 'The whore is dead, we have 24 hours to stop something.' Shoots...

  7. Game News Risen gone gold

    I'm actually gonna pay for this game! I loved Gothic2. The only other game I'm excited for coming out is... Well, I guess I'll play Mass Effect 2 and whatever Bethesda are working on.

  8. STICKY: video games aren't important

    Well, this has all been said already, but what the hell... No, games are now bad because at every step a large pop up windows tells you the next step, who to see and what to say - and just in case that doesn't help, when the window closes you get a fuck off arrow pointing you in the right...

  9. Preview BioWare's guide to good Dragon Age previews.

    So, DAO's has a mature storyline, dark setting, C&C, infinitely better dialogue than Bethesda could ever manage (and animation and art design), real party based phase time fighting (almost turnbased), and ingame romance options. Basically the last major games house designing an RPG for the pc...

  10. List of WASD-like control 3D advent/platfm games (sing.play)

    Well, I guess you're no longer reading these posts, after the 10 page RPG debacle, but just in case: http://www.realmsofthehaunting.com/ A wasd adventure shooting game, which can be gotten free. It's pretty good. Also, Daggerfall (DOSbox - old style graphics) 3D RPG, can be DL free...

  11. Top 10 role-playing games

    1) Midwinter (hey, if Deus Ex can go in an RPGCodex top ten list)... 2) Daggerfall (immersiveness gets thrown round an awful lot, but maybe because of my age, the uniqueness of the experience, whatever - but I lived in that alternate world for far too long). 3) Ultima 7 (6 gets a mention for...

  12. THE RPG AND FPS MADE A BABY

    The video looks cool. If they get the RPG mechanics better than Fallout3 (ie decent story and background world), and the shooter mechanics like HL2, Quake etc, along with a survivalist vibe (get shot in the leg and have it effect gameplay until healed), it could be cool. The graphics look...

  13. Editorial Where is gaming's Brokeback Mountain?

    Surely, America, that global arbiter of good taste, first has to stop being scared of seeing cock on screen, or, really any state of undress, then games developers have to stop being scared of the moral minority (ie vocal majority), accusing them of trying to subvert our innocent childrens minds...

  14. So how would you have made the last two Elder Scrolls games?

    No world shrinkage, the river leading up to city centre should have been the size of Mississipi<sp>, and Cyrodiil encompassing about 40 miles squared with varied regional nature (swampy as you head towards Black Marsh etc), including parts of the other regions (like mainland Morrowind)...

  15. Review RPGWatch give Fallout 3 a second look

    The reviewer said: Actually not true, when Ultima8 was released there was such an uproar about the jumping puzzle they released a patch to fix it, and U9 was an unmitigated disaster, the lead designer was sacked (or left) three quarters of the way thru and RG tried to fix what game there was...
