Star Trek: The Video Game
Susan: The Science Museum was a highly appropriate venue to hold a preview event for the upcoming Star Trek video game, even more so since to get to the actual event you had to walk through a space travel exhibit as well as some metal walkways straight from sci-fi. Myself and Duncan were excited about…

Pipe Dreams – Theme Hospital 2
I like that strategy games are back on the rise. Starcraft II is doing incredibly well in the eSports scene – with Heart of the Swarm’s release on the horizon, Prison Architect has been getting some much deserved praise following a terrific Eurogamer showing, and Civilisation V is still getting plenty of support – hardcore…

Pipe Dreams – Dino Crisis 4
I don’t know when it happened, I don’t know why, but at one point in gaming history dinosaurs were rife in the gaming world and then suddenly… extinction. I’m sure that Turok’s last attempt wasn’t exactly helping to resurrect them, but back in the Nintendo 64/PlayStation era, the age of the dino-shooter was riding high.…

Pipe Dreams – Timesplitters 4
A lot of people these days complain that the first-person shooter market has become a homogenised mess with overly gritty and serious shooters. I am not in total agreement of that fact, but I do agree that the world of gaming needs more Timesplitters. As the world already has three in existence it may be…

Pipe Dreams – Spec Ops: The Line… 2?
It’s a rare moment when I have the urge to write a Pipe Dreams based around asking for a sequel to a game which has only barely released itself onto store shelves. To be honest there’s rarely been a case when I’ve felt it’s been warranted. However, few games have ever shocked me to this…

Pipe Dreams – Galaxy Quest
I like to believe that we can all agree that Galaxy Quest is a brilliant movie. It was funny, humorous, hilarious, rib-tickling, witty, and starring Tim Allen. It has been one of the very few films I have endeavoured to buy on VHS, DVD, and Bluray upon release. Galaxy Quest hit us right at the…

Pipe Dreams – Enslaved II
From the very beginning of this series, when I wrote the first five Pipe Dreams topics, I knew that this had to be done. Due to E3 and GAME related happenings it just took a bit longer than expected to finally vent. However, delays aside I think we can all agree that Enslaved II has…

Numerology – 20 hours
As I type it’s just gone midnight and I’m in the London SeaLife Aquarium – the timer on the lights in the shark tank has just switched them off and Laura has just passed 10 hours and 30 minutes on her way to a Guinness World record. By the time this post appears, she will…

Pipe Dreams – E3 2012 Edition: What Went Wrong
E3 2012 is now over. Announcements have been made, press events presented, and some gamers left screaming in anger and confusion at both the organisers and each other. There were many jaw-dropping moments at the event, with some personal highlights being Watch_Dogs and The Last Of Us, but there were many things which were not…

Pipe Dreams – E3 2012 Edition
It’s that glorious time of year where E3 is nearly upon us again. Which leaves people, like me, wondering just what glorious treasures are soon to be unearthed and presented to us. Luckily for me I don’t need to wait, because this is Pipe Dreams and I do not work here on rumours or leaks,…
