When I was really young, I used to play Rogue Spear quite a bit. The game was one of my weekend favourites, though much like most games, it’s under-appreciated. While some games go viral such as DOTA or Counter-Strike, there are still the underdogs of every genre. Rogue Spear happens to be one of them, [...]

Basically, it’s not something you’d trust to keep [...]

Nostalgic for X-COM like games? I was searching for the X-COM game that I so vividly remembered and had an urge to play it. The game was a very simple yet addictive game. A turn-based action and a management game both at once.
While searching for X-COM, I realised that there has been a fan [...]
Backing up has always been a great headache for most people – DVDs last from 50 to 100 years in the best of conditions – which means no bending, scratching or twisting and perfect climate. Hard drives are prone to failure because of the number of moving parts that they have, and cloud storage comes [...]
