World famous level designer John Romero is having another go at running her own dev studio.

If only it were that easy for the rest of us to forget about Daikatana. Yes, I know Deus Ex was excellent, but by that stage it was really like trying to put a plaster on a chainsaw wound. Then Anachronox arrived which was rather like removing the plaster after it was getting a bit manky the next day with a scythe, swung at speed by someone with hair in their face and whom you weren’t sure if you could really trust on the best of days.
