Is there anything more captivating than someone who doesn't play by the rules?
In an industry full of copycat clones, live service nihilism and predatory monetisation - it's more important than ever to celebrate those who try to make something special - and today we're going to do just that.
This is the story of Arkane and Dishonored - a studio forged out of ambitious disappointment and a truly excellent game that broke all the rules of conventional development.
It'll take us into the depth of the void, before the wild Outsider and onto the streets of Dunwall - all in quest to clear the name of Corvo ...

The Final Fantasy VIII Retrospective
After the international success of Final Fantasy VII, Hironobu Sakaguchi would abscond from game development to focus on directing a Final Fantasy movie. Before moving on, however, he would tell director Yoshinori Kitase that he and the rest of the FFVIII team could make the game their own. The inmates were now running the asylum, as all eyes were now on Square to see whether they could live up to the lofty standards set by FFVII.

How can a superhero franchise that has had so much success in the world of cinema and comics - struggle so hard when it steps into video game form? Why have the exploits of Wolverine, Deadpool, Cyclops, Magneto and Storm been absent from our screens for over eleven years?
These are the questions we're going to answer today as we journey through the history of the X-Men in video game form - the most chaotic family of licensed adaptations ever produced

Worlds of Ultima Retrospective | Savage Empire & Martian Dreams
With the cost of game development ever-growing, and the number of employees at Origin Systems ever-expanding, it no longer made sense to build game engines from scratch with each new release. While Richard Garriott worked on Ultima VII, several small teams within Origin would repurpose the Ultima VI engine, taking the series back to its pulpy roots.
The fruits of this labor were Savage Empire and Martian Dreams - the Worlds of Ultima Duology. This pair of oft-forgotten games had as much in common with point & click adventures of the time as it did with Ultima. In this video, we'll be taking a look at these games, as well as the historical context that surrounds them.

After the international success of Final Fantasy VII, Hironobu Sakaguchi would abscond from game development to focus on directing a Final Fantasy movie. Before moving on, however, he would tell director Yoshinori Kitase that he and the rest of the FFVIII team could make the game their own. The inmates were now running the asylum, as all eyes were now on Square to see whether they could live up to the lofty standards set by FFVII.

How can a superhero franchise that has had so much success in the world of cinema and comics - struggle so hard when it steps into video game form? Why have the exploits of Wolverine, Deadpool, Cyclops, Magneto and Storm been absent from our screens for over eleven years?
These are the questions we're going to answer today as we journey through the history of the X-Men in video game form - the most chaotic family of licensed adaptations ever produced
It'll take us from cult classics to genre masterpieces to licensed abominations - it'll leap between Street Fighter, Spiderman, Call of Duty, Hulk Hogan and the Avengers - it'll take us across seven decades, nine console generations and well over forty games.
It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions.

With the cost of game development ever-growing, and the number of employees at Origin Systems ever-expanding, it no longer made sense to build game engines from scratch with each new release. While Richard Garriott worked on Ultima VII, several small teams within Origin would repurpose the Ultima VI engine, taking the series back to its pulpy roots.
The fruits of this labor were Savage Empire and Martian Dreams - the Worlds of Ultima Duology. This pair of oft-forgotten games had as much in common with point & click adventures of the time as it did with Ultima. In this video, we'll be taking a look at these games, as well as the historical context that surrounds them.
This is the 7th video in my Ultima Retrospective series. Watching earlier parts isn't necessary to enjoy this video, but it is recommended. They can be found here:

With the cost of game development ever-growing, and the number of employees at Origin Systems ever-expanding, it no longer made sense to build game engines from scratch with each new release. While Richard Garriott worked on Ultima VII, several small teams within Origin would repurpose the Ultima VI engine, taking the series back to its pulpy roots.
The fruits of this labor were Savage Empire and Martian Dreams - the Worlds of Ultima Duology. This pair of oft-forgotten games had as much in common with point & click adventures of the time as it did with Ultima. In this video, we'll be taking a look at these games, as well as the historical context that surrounds them.
This is the 7th video in my Ultima Retrospective series. Watching earlier parts isn't necessary to enjoy this video, but it is recommended. They can be found here:
