The Gothic remake is here and back to reclaim its position as one of the most influential RPGs of all time. But does this returning classic still hold up in 2026, and is it worth your time? We loved Gothic back when it arrived in 2001. It was a game that existed before the open-world boom, so the level of freedom it offered players was unprecedented at the time. But it wasn’t just the exploration; Gothic is a game that involves lots of chatting with NPCs and long stretches of dialogue. While it looked more like a third-person action game,…

That was a big thing: It had gone from the back room of the one-hit wonders to all…

The idea of a journey, setting off on the road, the excitement, the anticipation of discovery, leaving the stress and worries and memories behind is a construct we all can identify with. The romance of the story of America is inextricably linked with the move from east to west, the crossing of The Great Divide, leaving the East Coast angst behind to find a freer, more individualistic life. The California Zephyr, a long distance passenger train that runs from Chicago to San Francisco, is a symbol of this journey and has been the subject of many songs, the most famous…

Derek Shulman took me to a Bon Jovi show. The whole audience was freaking out, and Derek said to me: Are you ready for this? Its going to happen to you. And I fully believed in it.: The unlikely rebirth of Dan Reed Network, funk rocks nearly men
In the late 80s, funk rock five-piece Dan Reed Network were on the verge of superstardom – only to be brought down by lousy timing and self-sabotage. In 2016, mainman Dan Reed revealed the incredible story behind his band’s comeback. He doesn’t remember the exact date that he hit rock bottom. He was drinking so heavily, and doing so many drugs, that the days and nights were slipping past in a blur. What he does remember is the moment of clarity that came to him as another long night was stretching into the dawn. As he sat alone in a…
