37 years ago, a developer named Colin Porch started work on a sequel to the classic computer puzzle game Head Over Heels. With the rise of console gaming pushing aside demand for games on early personal computers, that project was shelved – until now. The 81-year-old Porch has just completed and released that sequel, all because an old boss told him about the rising market for retro games.Return to Blacktooth is available from Thalamus Digital Publishing on Itch.io for both Atari ST and the Commodore Amiga. As in its predecessor, you control a pair of characters – Head and Heels…
Control Resonant still doesn’t have a release date, but with a 2026 release window and the year nearing its halfway point, Remedy is inching dangerously close to GTA 6’s launch orbit. Rockstar has said GTA 6 will be the biggest launch in video game history, and that’s not even braggadocious of them to say, which would make many game developers second guess scheduling a launch anywhere near it. On the other hand, the launch of GTA 6 will be a giant moment for the game industry as a whole, which could indirectly benefit other developers if a whole bunch of…
As one of the oldest, biggest, and best-understood MMOs around, Old School RuneScape has long been plagued by bot accounts using scripted actions to generate ill-gotten gold to sell on a gray market. This has led to congestion at popular areas in-game, with real players fighting bots for space and resources, and huge fluctuations in a trade market battered by absurd spikes in supply. But for the first time in a very long time, an extinction-class meteor seems to have hit the bot armies.Two OSRS experts, SirPugger and FlippingOldSchool, both weighed in this week and came to the same conclusion:…

It’s tough to compete with one of the most beloved, influential first-person shooters of all time, but if there’s one game that can go toe-to-toe with the original Halo, it’s a faithful but spruced-up remake like Halo: Campaign Evolved. That said, according to a veteran of Halo creator Bungie, that sprucing up is precisely what makes the remake inferior to the original.During an appearance on the Mint Blitz podcast, former Bungie design lead Niles Sankey, who was with the company from 2006 to 2015, shared his impressions of the upcoming Halo remake. Obviously, Sankey has no insight into the production…
Intel has taken a big swing at AMD and its dominance of the gaming handheld market, as it is launching a new range of gaming CPUs exclusively for use in Steam Deck rivals. The new Intel Arc G3 range is designed to “set a new standard for handheld PC gaming” thanks to its powerful Arc B390 GPU and highly power-efficient CPU. Given Valve issued a Steam Deck price rise of as much as $300, the arrival of new Intel-powered gaming handhelds couldn’t have come at a better time. Intel has previously tried to push into the handheld market, with devices…
The Terraria devs seem to be done promising final updates, and at this point it looks like the beloved sandbox game is going to keep getting new features until the wheels fall off. The impending 1.4.5.7 is meant to be a balance-focused patch, but every time the devs talk about it they’re promising more and more new features. What gives? Well, this balance pass is about more than tweaking the damage numbers.”Sometimes, addressing balance means rethinking some core aspects around how things function – or expanding upon what is already there in new ways,” developer Re-Logic explains in a new…

Nicolas Cage has revealed his favorite live-action Spider-Man… and it’s probably not who you were expecting, either.”I thought Andrew Garfield was a really great Spider-Man,” Cage told Complex. “I thought he did a terrific job. He’s a marvelous actor. For all the younger Peter Parker Spider-Men, he was the one that I thought was really quite something to watch. I would put Garfield as, in my view, the best Spider-Man in cinema.” You can watch the clip below.Personally, I love Garfield’s Spider-Man… I just think most people tend to list Tobey Maguire as the GOAT when it comes to the…
It happened again. A new Deadlock update continues Valve’s Soul Urn experiment, and this time it was a competitive tournament match that brought the MOBA’s current balance concerns back into the spotlight. A showdown between Floormen and Melee Creeps in the NA finals of this week’s Deadlock Night Shift was thrown off course when the latter team deployed an unconventional strategy combining the Urn’s powerful bonus resist aura with the recently introduced Golden Egg item. In the wake of this, fresh patch notes from the developer have altered how the Urn works for the third time in the past week.…
