We previously reported that fans were working on a way to restore the classic PC adventure title, Blade Runner. Now, Alcon Entertainment and Nightdive Studios have confirmed that they have acquired the rights to develop an official restoration of the game. That project, which is known as Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition, will be based on

All throughout Josh’s journey were moments of poignancy, from the fact that he tragically didn’t know his use of the fairy eye was hurting Margo to the hug he received from the justifiably skeptical young girl Ash. And for some reason, even though we’ve been enjoying Arjun Gupta’s portrayal of Penny 23 this season, seeing

Graphene and other atomically

The membrane surrounding cells acts as a selective barrier, cradling and protecting the cell’s contents from the external surroundings and choosing which substances to allow in or out of the cell. Scientists have therefore struggled to engineer efficient methods of delivering nanomaterials, such as DNA, proteins and drugs, into cells. Now, researchers from Korea University,

This is in no way a confirmation that Soma is set to appear in the animated series, but it’s impossible to ignore the Sorrow games as a possible influence on this futuristic setting. Of course, this could just be an elaborate easter egg since Castlevania has remained a pretty self-contained series through its first three

E3 2020 follows a long line of canceled gaming events. The annual Game Developers Conference in San Francisco was canceled in February. The Taipei Game Show was canceled earlier this year, and CCP’s EVE Fanfest event in Reykjavik, Iceland, which was set to take place in April, was also shuttered. Earlier this month, Capcom canceled several Street
