It’s been a while since I’ve last played Mass Effect 2, but Bio Break‘s Mass Effect 2 Wrapup brought back some memories. Mostly good memories, because as you’ve undoubtedly heard, Mass Effect 2 is a good game. In fact, it’s probably the prime candidate for the Game of the Year title thus far, although Red [...]

Valve introduced the new game guides feature on Steam a few days ago, with the release of strategy guides for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, Just Cause 2 and Left 4 Dead 2. This was done in partnership with Prima, which had already written and published strategy guides [...]

I’ve been experimenting with a few live streaming services lately, in order to broadcast live gaming footage, mostly of the StarCraft 2 beta. It turns out that there are two big streaming sites that cater to this scene, namely Livestream and Ustream. They both have an audience numbering in the tens of thousands, but curiously [...]

Assembling your own PC can be a confusing venture, especially if you’re no hardware geek and have to resort to ‘expert’ opinions when selecting hardware components. This isn’t so much of a problem when faced with selecting a video card or processor, because there are plenty of benchmarks for these components to be found on [...]

In GameDrone Monthly I give a recap of my gaming activities in the past month, some new articles on GameDrone that you might have missed and what I expect to be doing in the coming month. Maybe you’d like share your experiences, send in a game you’d like me to cover on GameDrone or team [...]

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 [...]
