Let’s Build a Zoo took the art of building an animal to a whole new level last year with addictive management gameplay, lots of different species, and the ability to play god through DNA splicing. But if you’re no longer entertained by morally questionable land animals like the chickows and goobits, then maybe it’s time

Paint – Film Review There’s a fascinating double-bill to be had with Weird: The Al Yankovic Story and Paint. All we need is for someone to actually release the first of the two in the UK so that we can organise a screening for some mates.  Both films centre on an afro’d protagonist who is,

Studio Director Angela Browder, who has been on the Starfield team since its inception, says they were able to tap into internal resources, too.  “We have all these people who have these passions that are outside of video games, and because this game has so much to it, they’ve had the opportunity to share their
