Our Time at EGX 2018
Once again we find ourselves at EGX. This year 3 members of the OP team went, and here are our thoughts:LEWISSo another year at EGX, and I still can't help but moan about the boring and uncreative art used at the entrance of EGX. A couple of shapes changed position and background patterns slightly changed up, but largely the same mundane and uninspiring signage. In no way does it get you excited for the event when you walk through what is essentially a large empty hall with nothing more than one large screen advertising a couple of the games at the
Our Time at EGX 2017
So here we are again, writing another article about another EGX event. Two members of the OP team went to EGX in 2017, and we have both individually written reviews of the event.Lewis When we arrived at the event, one of the first things that struck me was the lack of creativity in the art being used. I didn't feel hugely excited to be there, apart from the huge amount of people attending, I didn't feel like I was arriving at anything special. I remember in the early days of Eurogamer, I used to feel like I was attending something out of
Our Time at EGX 2016
As is now tradition for the members of Opium Pulses based in the UK, we made our way to EGX (Eurogamer Expo) in Birmingham, our press passes allowed us earlybird entry to all 4 days but we stuck to Thursday and Sunday. We arrived bleary-eyed in good time and were allowed to walk straight in. Of the two days, if you want peace and quiet, room to move around and better opportunity to secure interviews, Thursday is your day. If you like huge crowds, active tournaments and regular giveaways the weekend is the time to go.Anyway as much as we love
Our Time at EGX 2015
Today we're letting you know what all three of us thought of EGX (Eurogamer Expo) 2015. Starting with...CHRISI was at EGX this year for the full 4 days it was running. During this time I had the pleasure to show off Steam’s upcoming VR headset – the HTC Vive, to hundreds of extremely excited people.We had game developers, universities, representatives from Twitch, YouTube and EGX themselves all buzzing to try out the latest and what is commonly starting to become known as ‘The best’ VR experience currently around!It’s difficult to explain the immersion you get with Vive until you’ve tried it

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -

Thank you so much for your insight, and allowing me to harken back to your article!
I can't thank you enough! It was a great help to have another set of eyes and input!July 06, 2026
