TPG Review Classics is a feature where we jump into the Wayback Machine to offer a modern look at PC games released during the 80s and 90s.
Nathaniel Velliquette from TPG writes:
"I am a sucker for space games. It can be an RTS or a simulator and as long as it has spaceships, I will eat that stuff up. However, there are few that stand out as innovative or influential. Freespace 2 is one of these few. Nearly thirteen years old, it infuriates me to see how every other space flight simulator is nothing like Freespace 2. Volition, the developer, understands how to appeal to hardcore sim players while making a complex game accessible to people new to the genre."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "The fall period has begun and sunlight is becoming increasingly scarce, especially here in the north where I happen to live. With daylight hours quickly withering away as winter approaches, I thought we should take some time to listen to some seasonally-fitting creepy and dark themes from the world of video games. Of course, Halloween is also right around the corner, so it works quite nicely for that as well.
Over the years we've heard some truly amazing video game themes that have captured the feelings of sorrow, solitude, dread, and sheer terror perfectly. So, in keeping with the spirit of the season, here are some dark themes from the world of video games for you to listen to."
GOG has just announced that they have launched their special space-themed sales campaign. So that means that you could pick-up some really great space games to a nice price. Furthermore, you could also get "Freespace 2" all for free until the 27th of September.
Every year we get a deluge of the same types of game that came the year before. A large portion of modern Triple A titles fall neatly into a select few genres.
Along the way certain genres have fallen by the wayside, Bag of Games explores some of these “forgotten formulas” and examine where they stand in today’s industry.

Space Combat has Star Citizen on the horizon.
Platform games need actual platforming. Infamous and AC series are not platformers, and the average 3D platformer requires no skill these days. If Nintendo wants me to buy a Wii U, they should make Mario difficult again.
FPS Adventure thrives in low budget European titles. They're all over Steam and Gamersgate.
The text adventure's most recent quality release was called Cypher. It was pretty excellent despite some rough edges.
