Then EA Games bought the company and everything turned to ashes. Kotaku investigates the company’s downfall in this fascinating retrospective.
  • In a recent Twitter exchange, Australia’s Minister for Communications Malcolm Turnbull essentially told a fed up internet user that if she wants good broadband, she should have moved somewhere else. We leave the report here without comment.
  • Scott Robertson is a concept designer best known for his astonishing spaceship paintings. Head over to Gizmodo for a taste of his amazing work.
