The fellows at Gamespy have unearthed an old article of theirs that lists "the top 10 reasons RPGs suck".

It's quite humourous IMHO, whether you're an RPG fan or not :).

Where are they now? - John Romero

John Romero - co-founder of id Software For today's "Where are they now?" post I thought I'd pick one of the legends of PC gaming, one who worked on several groundbreaking PC games such as Wolfenstein 3D , Doom and Quake . As you can see, these are all First Person Shooters (FPS) and consequently he was quite instrumental in bringing about its popularity. I am talking about Mr John Romero, co-founder of one of the iconic brands in PC gaming, id Software. But how did Romero's story start? Well, Romero was born in 1967 in Colorado Springs, Colorado - and the only reason I've heard of the place is because I did a school physics project on Nikola Tesla, and apparently he performed quite a few experiments there. Anyway, that's a really big tangent so let's get back on track. So apparently when Romero was only entering his teens he started developing computer games in the early 80s for the Apple II (seemed to be the "in" thing during the early 80s...

Sid Meier's Civilization VI Digital Deluxe Review

Wouldn't be a Civ game without a video of a rocket taking off into space somewhere, amirite? Reviewed by: Mark Goninon Developer: Firaxis Publisher: 2K Games Release Date: 21 October 2016 Time played: 111 hours What is it The Civilization series has a long and distinguished history and I've played every single one of its PC releases. Ever since I got my hands on a floppy disk version of the original Sid Meier's Civilization in the mid-1990s, I was hooked. Like many other fans of the historical turn-based strategy series, "just � one � more � turn..." became an all too familiar phrase whenever I played the game. The first two Civilization games, Sid Meier's Civilization and Sid Meier's Civilization II were both developed by a company called Microprose and were released in 1991 and 1996 respectively. In 1996, many key employees including Sid Meier, Brian Reynolds and Jeffery Briggs went to form Firaxis after Microprose was restructured by Spectrum ...

Where are they now? - Kevin Pickell

Creative Assembly developed the PC port of FIFA International Soccer but Pickell developed the original Sega Megadrive version Last week I talked a bit about one of my favourite PC games of all time called Stunts aka 4D Sports Driving and how the game developer Don Mattrick had a big part to play in its development. Mattrick became more of a designer/manager/producer throughout the years but one of the original Stunts team remained passionate about programming right up until recently. For today's "Where are they now?" I'd like to talk about Kevin Pickell. I wasn't able to find too much background information about Pickell but I do know he's worked in Canada for most of his professional career. Pickell got into computer programming in 1981 and the first computer he created programs for was the Commodore PET. During the early 80s he developed a word processor in assembler and also developed his first computer game which was a clone of Defender (also written ...
