It’s cool stuff! And looked well worth jumping into even before this latest update. The update is available right now.

He perches there with track-suited elbows akimbo, smiling faintly. Trotter aside, the table sustains various piles of money and a bottle of what could be Jack Daniels. Sunlight streams through the conservatory windows behind, lending the whole scene the quality of an angelic visitation. What to make of this? Why is Trotter squatting on a table? His amused rictus contains no answer. I feel the need to workshop this bizarre spectacle before I can say anything further about the game....

1v1v1v1 Over the weekend, hectic 1v1 shooterStraftatgot yet more free maps in an update. They asked players what they’d prefer: a 2v2 mode or a four-player free-for-all? Is there an electoral commission for frenzied first-person killsports? Nah, we can solve this with a first-to-three in Chateaux_13_Alt_Alt. It’s very pleasing to see the game pumping out updates. There’s a reason it was one of ourfavourite games of 2024. This weekend’s update adds a few other bits and bobs....

I had a key for a lock I couldnt find. Perhaps it lay in a tent outside the castle, or in one of the surrounding caves? And it was then that I realised Id been playing Atomfall wrong. Its a game where you throw aromatic bait at campfires to summon swarms of mutant wasps. “Bloody hell!” he squeals, as I chuck a fireaxe at his head. parallels are pretty abundant too, in fairness....

At the time, I hoped this tone and tenor of trying too hardwas just press release guff. No such luck, if the writing shown off below is any indication. But let’s first back up a moment, because it doeslookgreat. The purple and yellow palette. The painterly style, soft but sharp with detail. Then you start reading. “Let me introduce myself,” says your character to a sweet old lady feeding pigeons....

Still, I have a certain respect for the series. So a quiet hip-hooray, then, for Blades Of Greed, which is out later in 2025. Here’s a trailer. What’s the Green Plague up to in this one, then? New areas become available within those sandboxes via “Metroidvania-style” tool-gating. You’ll also get to craft weapons and potions before undertaking each heist. The setting has always been Styx’s big draw for me. All that cobbled-together, piled-up masonry, buttressed by some respectable grimdark lore....

Our favorite gaming SSD is over $360 off for a limited time. Its also using newer BiCS5 flash chips, making it slightly better than its predecessor. Western Digital backs this SSD with a five-year warranty, which is about as reassuring as warranties get.

Which does not happen as often as you might think, you tinfoil hat-wearing scalliwags. Now, Moonringhas some DLC. Yes, the dungeon looks like an egg. I myself am still scratching at the upper levels and opening sanctums of Moonring’s eerie universe. I wouldn’t say no to another 100 floors of such shenanigans. Even if you don’t plump for the DLC, you might want to revisit Moonring. It’s been updated a fair bit since October 2023....

The Online Safety Act was passed into law in 2023 and comes into effect this year. “The strongest protections in the Act have been designed for children,” anexplainer says. “Platforms will be required to prevent children from accessing harmful and age-inappropriate content.” Malton is the name of the big city you explore in the game. you’re free to board up the windows of any building to protect against the undead....

Its a nice overhaul with a few downsides. There are many threads about the absence of text chat onSteamand Reddit. Ive approached Rockstar myself for comment. Hey, perhaps there’s a Netflix miniseries in this. I’ll send Vin Diesel a request for comment, too. There are also a host of other complaints related to people struggling to migrate their progress between versions. While irritating, these seem more like the usual launch-day bugs....

Maybe Miniluv got to them. The wizened gurus ofTime Extensionhave a summary of Big Brother’s plot. Eric’s goal was to rescue his fiancee by helping revolutionaries bring down the Thought Police. And completing environmental puzzles. It was broken into 12 levels designed to last five hours apiece. Slightly reminiscent of Troy McClure’s back catalogue, perhaps, but I like the range. There have been many Orwellian video games in the years since MediaX’s Big Brother slipped under the carpet....

Once there, you’re able to pop down buildings, shrubbery, animals, and decorations. The blog also specifies the placement of “mossy rocks”. No other types though. Moss or piss off. Here’s some grid snapping action. “Each building & upgrade will also have a direct impact on gameplay,” the blog says. The dojo trains combat allies. The forge upgrades weapons. A tea room lets you “increase ration efficiency”, and so on. Nothing says excitement like upgrade names that evoke board room minutes....

Specifically, you’ll need the blessing of your fresh-faced escort, Alma. Mostly, this happens without the player needing to actually ask the question. Sometimes, it happens in a cutscene. There’s no Call Of Duty-style “friendly fire will not be tolerated” screen. Nonetheless, some playersabsolutely lovegetting authorized to hunt the monsters. It’s fastbecoming a meme, and maybe there’s something kinky about that. Alma is the hand and you are the blade. It offers both releaseandthe pleasure of being micromanaged by a nice lady who personifies a vast, carnivorous bureaucracy....
