Video games in the Alien universe are always a tricky-yet-intriguing proposition. There's a checkered track record. Sometimes they end up like Alien: Isolation; sometimes they end up like Aliens: Colonial Marines. 3D Realms almost got ...

There's something oddly fun about seeing a decades-old video game you never played resurface out of nowhere with an unlikely remaster. Kingpin: Life of Crime – a controversial Quake II-era FPS from Xatrix and Interplay – is com...

[Update 08/26/19: Both 3D Realms and Voidpoint released a joint statement on the Steam community forums confirming that Ion Fury will be not receiving any censorship. While the initial backlash and response did claim that any offensive cont...

The retro FPS renaissance is in full swing as of late last year. With the release of DUSK, fans of labyrinthine designs and key hunting were treated to an evolution of a classic formula that paid homage to and improved upon its inspirations...

Hey, remember that lawsuit we told you about a few weeks ago over the game Ion Maiden? Well, it looks like it's come to its inevitable end. 3D Realms has announced that, rather than fight it out in court, it is changing the name of the of i...

[Update: After posting last night, we reached out to 3D Realms for a statement on the lawsuit. It responded with the following: We've recently heard about a lawsuit filed in California by the band Iron Maiden, claiming our old-school first...

3D Realms has uploaded a 20-minute video for its upcoming first-person shooter Wrath: Aeon of Ruin. Based on the demo I played at PAX East, this walkthrough should show you exactly what I meant when I said Wrath feels more like Hexen and Tu...

Before Wrath: Aeon of Ruin was announced, Destructoid's CJ had teased me by saying, "This game has you written all over it." I was very intrigued, but CJ is a man of his word and did not break embargo. Even when I was speculating about the ...

For the past few weeks, I’ve been obsessing a bit about the Resident Evil 2 remake. Not the game itself which I’m sure is very fine, but rather the mod community that keeps thinking of ways to absolutely blow me away. Whether it...

3D Realms is teasing a brand shooter built on the original Quake engine. Set to reveal tomorrow, the possibilities are endless for what this new game might be. It obviously isn't Quake 5, but there is a very real chance that it might be som...

3D Realms has announced that indie sidescroller Rad Rodgers will be coming to Switch on February 26. The port to Nintendo's platform will include local co-op support, new characters, and a versus mode. Along with some original characters (l...

Ion Maiden has received a brand new update today in the form of a horror-themed level. Called "Heskel's House of Horrors," this is actually the PAX West demo from this past weekend. It contains brand new weapons, new enemies and obviously a...

Voidpoint's upcoming Ion Maiden is a total blast, as evidenced by our three different previews for it. While it sadly won't be making a 2018 release, there is some really good news for fans of physical media. Co-publisher 3D Realms has part...

The stellar Ion Maiden, 3D Realms' throwback to retro FPS games, will now be launching in 2019. The reason for the delay is that both 3D Realms and developer Voidpoint want to ensure the best possible experience for fans at launch. To make ...

Ion Maiden has been making waves as of late and for good reason. This is the game idiots like me have been clamoring for ever since Call of Duty skyrocketed into popularity and started becoming the template for a modern first-person shooter...

Over the weekend I got to play an early preview build of Ion Maiden, the latest retro-inspired FPS from 3D Realms and Voidpoint games. That's right, the same folks behind Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, and who helped birth the FPS genre by ...

If you’re as old as me, hearing the name 3D Realms probably works like a harp in film, activating a flashback sequence that returns you to the days of your youth spent in front of a computer screen, playing one of the most parental pe...

First impressions count for a lot in gaming. Sometimes a bad launch can tarnish an otherwise solid game from ever recovering, but there are some rare instances where a title gets a second shot. Rad Rodgers happens to be one such game. I rev...

For one reason or another, the remake of Shadow Warrior is free on Steam today. Maybe this is to coincide with the release of some new content for Shadow Warrior 2, but either way, you can now experience some nice hard wang for the low...

While the original DOS version of Shadow Warrior has been available on Steam for a few years now (and for free), you now have the option to play through the alpha and beta versions of the game when downloading Shadow Warrior Classic. This m...

As I mentioned in my preview piece, Rad Rodgers: World One came out of nowhere. I was struck by the mind-blowing graphics and how 3D Realms was publishing a game from a relatively unknown developer. It looked like a throwback to Commander K...

Rad Rodgers: World One is a game that, quite literally, came out of nowhere for me. We got a message from the publisher, 3D Realms, and I was blown away by the trailer. I wasn’t so sure the game’s humor would work, but the amoun...

If you grew up playing games in the late '80s or early '90s, you remember that Mario dominated the discussion on playgrounds and after school. By some estimates, Nintendo controlled up to 90% of the home console market, and it's no wonder t...

"It's so hard to believe this is real. It's like a video game or something." A random soldier told me this in Bombshell and it's not the worst meta dialogue in the game. Shelly "Bombshell" Harrison is quick to complain about video game cont...

Want to feel old? You'll never believe which 3D Realms game turns 20 today! Duke Nukem 3D was released on January 29, 1996, two decades ago. At the time it was not only a great shooter (my favorite by far), but it also sparked a ton of...
