It's sad we never got a truly excellent game based on the Stargate franchise, despite how deliciously ripe it is for all sorts of genres. A Homeworld: Remastered mod with high production values? I suppose that will do.

In honour of Homeworld Remastered's release -- and the game's enduring style -- artist Matt Frith put together this homage to Homeworld 2. Suddenly, I want to play a 2D Homeworld, real bad.

Playing through Homeworld again after all these years is weird. Games are forever changing. Usually, they're advancing. They progress not just in terms of visuals, but design. Shooters, for example, change the way you take cover and recover damage, while stealth games have developed smoother controls and give the player a greater awareness of what's going on around them.
