In Games Worth Playing I take a look at noteworthy games released during the previous month. It contains both a list of worthwhile new games and coverage of the most highly anticipated releases of the month. Of course I can’t play every game that’s released in a month, but I’ll do my best to get [...]

After finishing up the WarCraft III: Reign of Chaos singleplayer campaign rather handily in Hard mode, I had assumed that The Frozen Throne expansion pack would offer more of roughly the same. It turns out I was sadly mistaken, because Blizzard has gone nuts with stacking the odds in the singleplayer missions. I’ve only just [...]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has received quite a bit of flak from PC gamers for its multiplayer component. No dedicated servers, low and fixed player limits per game mode, no server browser and no modding did not gain Infinity Ward and Activision any fans. Yet a month prior to release, Infinity Ward replied [...]

WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos may not be the most recent game, but it’s cartoony style helps it keep form even in today’s age. Sure, everything is low-poly and sports low-resolution textures, but it’s still got a charm entirely its own and there are just some epic moments you can’t help but admire. Therefore, this [...]

After nearly a decade, I’ve just now finished the WarCraft 3: Reign of Chaos singleplayer campaign for the very first time! Its four campaigns and thirty missions make WarCraft 3 one of the lengthiest RTS games in gaming history. And that, combined with the difficulty of some of the Orc missions on Hard, ensured that [...]

A lot, actually. If you’ve been following the talk on the interweb lately, then you should already know that C&C 4: Tiberian Twilight isn’t doing so well. Inbetween draconian DRM, completely restructured gameplay and a disappointing ‘ending’ to the series, it’s been receiving a lot of flak from just about everyone. But what if you’re [...]

That’s right, no more monthly release date lists that just confuse everyone! I’ve just created a new Release Dates page, accessible in the header. This will be the permanent residence of the GameDrone release date list. With frequent updates and separate lists for confirmed and unconfirmed release dates, it’s the perfect place to look up [...]

Game developers, publishers and services worldwide never fail to come up with inventive pranks for April Fool’s Day, and this year is no different. If you thought last year’s ideas were crazy and inventive, then you’ve seen nothing yet as the likes of Blizzard, ID Software, FilePlanet and 2K Games have strived to outdo themselves [...]

It’s been a while since my last update, but today marks the return of GameDrone! A fresh design has been implemented, which adds a wealth of new functionality on top of an improved look. GameDrone has also switched hosts however, which means it could be a bit messy for the next couple of days as [...]

The news that many top games, such as Aliens vs Predator, BioShock 2, Mass Effect 2 and Mafia 2 were to be delayed until early 2010 due to excessive competition was a hard blow earlier this year. I have to admit I was a little worried as to whether we’d be seeing any decent games [...]

Yet another stellar game month has just passed us by and the coming month proves to be even more worthwhile for PC gamers. November 6th looks to be a particularly interesting date for Europeans as no less than three different RPGs launch on the same date: Dragon Age: Origins, Divinity 2 and Sacred 2: Ice [...]
