Shadow Warrior, PC
This remake of the classic Build engine shooter, Shadow Warrior, was developed by Flying Wild Hog and first released in 2013.

Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods, Amiga
Bullfrog Productions‘ 1991 sequel to Populous, Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods is a beautifully-crafted follow-up, retaining – and even improving on – the genius of the original.
I always rated Populous very highly, and Populous II is even better.

The Witcher 3 Achievements, PC
I had these screenshots of my Witcher 3 achievements popping on Steam, and they were sat on my hard drive doing nothing, so I thought I’d share them with the world.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, PC
LucasArts/Bioware‘s 2003 release, Knights of the Old Republic, is thought by some to be the best Star Wars game ever made.
It’s a hardcore RPG in the style of Neverwinter Nights (also by Bioware) and other realtime/turn-based hybrids of the early 2000s.
