  Hidden Deep is Now Available

  Just how many different phobias do you have?
  
  The one-man development studio that makes up Cogwheel Software just released a new sci-fi thriller, Hidden Deep. Today's release is a Steam Early Access release, but it seems to be quite polished from what I've seen so far. Still, the game will continue to receive new content updates and patches as the Early Access rolls on.
  
  The core idea of the game is that you are controlling a recon team sent into a claustrophobic underground...

  Modders Get Final Fantasy 7 Running at 60FPS After 25 Years

  A major breakthrough on the mod scene just took place to offer silky smooth gameplay.
  
  Roughly a quarter of a century ago (good God), Final Fantasy VII was released on the PC platform. However, the PC port of the game ran at just 15 frames per second.
  
  While a lot of the action and animation in Final Fantasy VII for the original PlayStation release was also at a sub-optimal framerate, there is one thing the OG had going for it that the PC version lacked: The menus all ran...

  How it was ever approved in the first place is beyond me.
  
  Alongside yesterday's update for Battlefield 2042 came the usual new rotation of official Battlefield Portal experiences. One of those officially created and promoted modes was called Zombie Survival. In this mode, you were facing off against hordes of A.I. controlled "zombies" that were equipped only with knives. Your goal was to survive for as long as possible.
  
  There was just one problem: This mode made...

  Best RPG Slot Games

  
  For decades, the element of pure randomness has characterised slot machines. It has been a case of hitting the spin and waiting for the lucky turn! However, young gamers are progressively demanding a more complex gaming experience. Software developers have equally responded by creating stimulating games with immersive storylines and compelling level-up approaches. The story-based and progression orientation to games creation has led to the rising popularity of role-playing slot games or...
