These are your 25 favourite space games of all time

June 2, 2023RockPaperShotgun

Earlier this month, we asked you to vote for your favourite space games of all time, and man alive did you lot come out swinging for this.

Not hundreds. Thousands. When you see it, you’ll probably go, ‘Of course, of course that’s number one!’ but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Come and find out what other games made the cut as we count down your…

Can bad games have good sequels?

June 2, 2023VG247

In contrast to Hollywood, videogames usually improve with every iteration. The Best Games Ever Show Episode 54 Welcome to the Best Games Ever show Episode 54: the best game that’s a sequel to a bad game. Because we live in a meritocracy, rubbish things never get sequels.

Such is life. But it’s not necessarily a bad thing, because every now and then, sequels far outstrip their…

“Telltale will remember that”: Why New Tales from the Borderlands dropped the infamous conversation prompt

September 2, 2022VG247

Gearbox Software takes many cues from Telltale, but there’s one key difference in the Tales From the Borderlands follow-up: it won’t have that infamous prompt. The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Batman, The Wolf Among Us, Minecraft, Borderlands, Guardians of the Galaxy… the reign of Telltale Games, at its peak, was truly something to behold. Between 2010 and 2016, the studio churned out a number of games that defined the conversation in gaming. You couldn’t open a gaming mag (or navigate the homepage of a gaming site) without something from Telltale making itself known. Its games were everywhere, all of…

Lucky for you, we suffered through all the merch plugs, the failed trailer loads, nothing announcements and yet another 20-minute magic set to bring you this condensed version of Gearbox’s panel news, all so…

Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands won’t be a Borderlands game, just like Pringles aren’t crisps

June 11, 2021RockPaperShotgun

First things first, I don’t care about the precise legal definition of Pringles. But there was a fiasco a few years back about whether they could be described as crips rather than processed starch snacks or whatever. The point is: Pringles are blatantly crisps. Or at the very least a kind of crisp. And so to Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, revealed last night at the Summer Game Fest with the following trailer, and a chat between Geoff “the ref” Keighley and voice actor Ashly Burch, in which it was claimed that it was not going to be a Borderlands game.
