Albion Online launches it's East server for a more optimised experience for eastern players
Gamers in the East, and those in the West with exceptional ping, can celebrate, as Albion has launched its new server. Based in the Asia-Pacific religion, Albion East as it is called will offer Albion fans the chance to either have a better gaming experience, or a whole new world to explore. Of course, the biggest talking point here is this new server will be giving those players further to the East a better gaming experience with vastly reduced ping. If you have ever tried to connect to a server halfway across the world, you will know how unplayable games can be, so this is a fantastic opportunity for those who need it. Another benefit is the optimization of game and server events. Territ…
Project Dark releases on mobile and brings a truly immersive audio adventure to gaming
Red Meat Games, a delightful name, have announced the release of their audio-led extravaganza, Project Dark. A game that can be played solely through its audio, Project Dark puts its players in the centre of a story that can be enjoyed without even opening their eyes. It seems like every game being released lately has giant worlds and fast-paced action with all the nooks and crannies to explore, so having a game that can be played solely through sound is an incredibly interesting idea, not to mention a nice step towards inclusivity. Beyond navigation of the menus, Project Dark can be played fully just by listening. Each of the stories unfolds as a choose-your-own-adventure game, putting yo…

Explore the universe in Doctor Who: Lost in Time, the iconic series' first idle game
