An unexpected and chilling - but also strangely intriguing - use of the Oculus Rift VR headset has seen a team of developers build a guillotine execut...

I enjoyed playing both the single and multiplayer modes. For single player, it look a little while to get into, but once the action kicked off there was no stopping it. The facial expressions on the various characters are done really well, as are the graphics in the game.

A little while ago I stumbled across a rather inspiring blog post by Sir John Sorrell, the Chairman of the London Design Festival and the Arup Design ...

A woman who bought an ancient video game in a charity shop for $7.99 has just become $15,000 richer. The lucky shopper picked up a copy of Stadium ...

People nowadays think of gamebooks as rather old hat - and, after all, it was twenty years ago. In their heyday, though, they were a phenomenon, selling upwards of a hundred thousand units per title. And it's not as old hat as you might think.

Free games are nothing new, but high quality free games are. Usually it's some tat like FarmVille that looks cheap and the gameplay is ridiculously basic. While there are some fairly minor restrictions, SWTOR allows free-to-play players to play the entire game. All the way to level 50, the highest level in the game so far. They are literally giving their product away for free.

People may have thought we were just having a laugh but our games night at the London Science Museum was a winner for the environment. More than 100 people turned up to play a variety of family favourites including eco bingo, giant human sized eco snakes and ladders, and a food footprint game.

It is only by looking at the highlights of a medium that one may judge whether it is art or not. Even a cursory glance at some of gaming's recent successes shows why MoMA is now putting Pac-Man alongside Picasso and Pollock.

Indie developers, download-only titles and low-budget hits were the big winners at the Bafta Games Awards. Only four big-budget, boxed games won aw...

The reviews for Aliens: Colonial Marines, Gearbox's latest addition to xenomorph lore, are in. And they're bad. In fact, it's pretty much the worst...

The seed of this game came from the fact that the Kyoto protocol recently expired with nothing to replace it. Basically CO2 emissions are going up and up and collectively not much is happening to bring them down. We'd like to think that reality works the way we'd imagine it should but it doesn't always.

I have to admit that riding in the centrifuge was amazing and a lot of fun. So much so I had another go - well actually I had three more spins ending with a 4G spin. At that point I probably would have done more but it seemed like a good time to stop!
