News. Control Ultimate Edition releases on February 12th. With more release dates now established, it’s clear that there will be a steady flow of higher profile games over the next few months. Starting with Prince of Persia Lost Crown in about 10 days. This month’s list is a more typical indie affair. Plenty of good stuff.
Side note. I’m increasingly seeing games listed that say they won’t work on intel macs; a sign of the change to silicon slowly solidifying.
