We’ve known it for years here at Expansive Towers but now those lovely people at Valve have joined us in recognising the importance of DLC in modern gaming. Anyone who opted in for the Steam client beta updates got a new one last night and oh looky here there’s a…
For me, it’s been a weird year in gaming. Not in a bad way, just… different. I moved from Xbox 360 back to PC gaming, having built a Steam box that sits on top of the hifi next to the TV. Then I discovered just how much a new-born takes…
Remember the days of queuing up at a game store for a midnight release, before rushing home to play the game into the early hours? Days like this could disappear into the gaming history books as the Xbox One now has the ability to pre-load games before the official release…

Platform: PC Version: 1.01 Unlike many indie games, Transistor has some very big shoes to fill, but developers Super Giant Games have only themselves to blame for this.

Retro Game Crunch by developer Rusty Moyher, is set to launch on the 19th May after being greenlit. This is a compilation of seven games, many of which take their design cues from classic Nintendo games. Check out the trailer below and you’ll see inspiration from the likes of Donkey…
