We factory sim perverts have all known the joy of combing a mile of conveyor belt tagliatelle for that one empty hopper or unplugged furnace that’s stalled the entire production line.

Last year, I worked with a global hybrid team that had…

How about that Control Resonant! What was previously referred to as Control 2 now has its own name, and its own protagonist, Dylan Faden, the tongues-speaking brother of the first game’s heroine Jesse. Gone is her shapeshifting gun too, replaced with a shapeshifting bit of metal instead. The horrors of the Oldest House have spilled out into New York City, Jesse is MIA, and Dylan must bash his way through it all to find her in a Devil May Cry-esque manner. Interesting enough a setup, but I am bothered by one thing: Remedy say you don’t need to play…
