    • I'm shocked that Titus lasted as long as they did.  They are exactly the kind of low quality shovelware developer/publisher that were usually killed off in the transition from the 16bit era to the world of 3D gaming, and yet somehow, they endured all the way from 1988 to 2005! Somehow these jokers even managed to buy up Interplay and took ownership of all of their IP until they became bankrupt in 2005, damn impressive!
    • What have we here?  In what feels like a rare event these days, the reverse is suitably gorgeous too – look at all that character art!  Very excited for this  going to start the install now, and I'll be back with some impressions later/tomorrow! 
    • Virtual Chess 64 NA release: 10th June 1998 PAL release: July 1998 JP release: N/A Developer: Titus Publisher: Titus N64 Magazine Score: 76% I wasn’t expecting much from Virtual Chess as it’s just chess, but at least you can’t mess up chess – or so I thought. Against all odds, Titus have managed to achieve the impossible and create a chess game that looks bad and controls poorly. The analogue stick or d-pad move the cursor, but way, way too fast so you need to perform the quickest tap or move the stick immensely slightly. With the 3D view, you expect the c-buttons to control the camera and they do – at least two of them do. c-right spins the board right while c-left spins the board up. It’s impossible to find a good camera angle and adjusting is itself a big pain. When a piece is taken, you see the pieces fighting (similar to Battle Chess), only the designs of al the characters are absolutely hideous and carry no charm whatsoever. As it doesn’t happen with the other pieces on show, it also feels completely disjointed from the main game. You can choose a 2D board. I turned it on and was presented with a really baffling design. I checked the options and found no way to change it – although I eventually figured out that c-left and c-right can change the the look of the board and pieces. Now, there is one aspect that Virtual Chess is competent in, and that’s playing chess. The problem is that it’s too good. While it’s got 17 levels of difficulty, the first beginner level will trounce most people – especially if they’re using the 3D view that makes it very difficult to judge how pieces can move. There are plenty of good chess games, but this is just trash. I’m amazed that it got good reviews Remake or remaster? You can get much better chess games on your phone for free. Official ways to get the game. There is no official way to get Virtual Chess 64
    • The year of Shadow continues with his apparent casting in the upcoming movie: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/15/24131385/keanu-reeves-shadow-the-hedgehog-sonic-3
    • @RedShell Yeah, the original Dead Rising is fantastic. I had a huge amount of fun on it back when it was released on the 360. The sequel is pretty good as well but everything after that turned a bit rubbish. You're right in saying that the amount of zombies on screen back then was super impressive. I think there was an achievement for killing 50,000 of them or something ridiculous like that. I vaguely remember having to drive around in the tunnels in a van and grind the kills that way. That Garfield mod looks hilarious.
