Back when I wrote for one of those girl gamer sites (yes, even I have a dark past), I got a press release about a game the got me pretty excited. Small German development team, Deck 13 were to publish Venetica, a fantasy them...

Some games never die because of the love fans have for them, and Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is one of those games. A new fan patch -- apparently from a series of "proper" ones -- was released this week, bring it to ...

Veil is an episodic first-person horror game for PC, coming from Alex Riggen, long time Dtoider and all around good man. The game will take place in a small Midwestern town where stuff will happen, though combat won't necess...

It's hard to keep track of all the Kickstarters out there, but I regret not reporting on Valdis Story: Abyssal City because it's shaping up nicely. A year after Kickstarter funding ended, we now have more footage of the Metr...
