Who doesn’t want to sit inside a giant wheel and chase down a massive, raging porcupine? Your hunter will utilise a sort of natural energy source to construct their own Karakuri to fight with. This seems to involve a bunch of glowing lights and some swirly DIY version of a Power Rangers morpher mounted on your hunter’s arm. When powered up, that gadget can build a wall out of thin air to, say, smack a giant rat that’s leaping towards you in the face....

Get an RTX 3090 Ti for $999 (was $1999) The discounted model is a Gigabyte Windforce X3 too, offering a robust thermal solution with three axial fans and a black, no-nonsense design. There’s a full complement of output ports - three DisplayPort 1.4, one HDMI 2.1 - and plenty of ventilation to keep that fully-unlocked GA102 GPU as cool as possible. The RTX 3090 Ti was reviewed by the lovely James just five months hence, where it was dubbed ’the graphics card [you want], but shouldn’t’....

He showed it off on the woodworking subreddit, where the appreciative woodworkers upvoted it onto my front page. It’s great stuff. And it works surprisingly well for a wooden wheel. He even called it a “Logitech G39”, which I hope is a joke about it being wonderfully off-brand. There is only a Logitech G29, and its RRP is a whopping £300. The whole set-up is amazing. I can just about imagine how the wheel works, so I can see how he came up with the idea in the first place....

“I was looking at the IP list, I mean, let’s go!” Spencer told the Washington Post in an interview. “King’s Quest, Guitar Hero, …I should know this but I think they got Hexen.” Sure, they probably got Hexen one way or another. Microsoft will soon own Hexen developers Raven Software when they buy Activision Blizzard, and already own Hexen publishers Id Software thanks to buying Zenimax and Bethesda. The WP say Spencer told them the Xbox team plan to talk with developers about working on a variety of old games Actiblizz own....

Hit ‘view gallery’ under the image above to see our attempts to circumvent the filter (for research purposes). Every MMO blocks particular words from being used in names, and given the hypothetical scenario I proposed above, I suppose it makes sense that no one should be able to use the name Jeff Bezos. The name alone would have too much power within New World, such that it should not exist....

While Zachtronics created their own version of solitaire for Shenzhen I/O (and later released it as a standalone game), Nerts has been around for at least 90-odd years. The infallible Wikipedia tells me it’s also known as Racing Demon, Peanuts, Pounce, Racing Canfield, Scramble, Squeal, and Scrooge. If I’d made up one of those names myself, you’d never know. They’ve put their own spin on it, mind. “We learned about [Nerts] from our artist Kyle, who has played it for years, and started playing it after lunch in the Zachtronics office,” they explain....

This same screwtop fuckboi can now be your wingman in Curved Space, a twin-stick shmup of no particular note. “It is the first time a fragrance has featured in a game as a playable character” is a line from the press release. I love it, I hate it. Here’s a trailer for the free DLC/product placement: Question: they say this is a playable character, but is it? He looks more like an NPC that follows you around and while I guess you direct him towards enemies, that’s not the same as him being “playable”....

Gloomwood certainly has worked hard on developing a circa-2000 immersive sim aesthetic, which takes me right back to the good old days. There seems to be a nice, hefty shotgun to tote around too. You can shoot out lights to create shadowy cover for yourself, create distractions by throwing objects to smash windows, and sneak up to pinch keys from enemies. Choose to go loud and you’ve got a selection of swords, shotguns and pistols to find....

In the story you start to free the nearby village from cursed vines, and this requires that you catalogue and collect ingredients for spells, and thence expand your repertoire of witchy recipes. At the same time you can trade spells and magical candy with locals for currency, which you can use to improve your little machines - a roaster, a caldron, a press for ingredients - to make even better things, more efficiently....

Not convinced by this admittedly fairly spicy take? Don’t worry. With the eighth and final episode of Mando having just aired in the UK, and with it being Star Wars Day and all, I’ve got the perfect excuse to talk about a series I’ve been glued to, and bring you onboard with the idea that it’s not a TV show at all, but an RPG that plays itself. 1) The main character is a blank slate OK, I know Mando is in many ways a homage to classic westerns, and he is very literally a man with no name....

MultiVersus’ game director Tony Huynh tweeted that, as a fighter, Morty is “closer to a mage” and has “some bruiser elements”. Morty was originally scheduled to arrive a fortnight ago on August 9th along with season one, but that was delayed indefinitely. Luckily, indefinitely only lasted a short time in this case, with season one and MultiVersus’ battle pass rescheduled to August 15th instead. Still no more word on when Rick will rock up, though....

You’re a little spaceship, with a simple but intriguing backstory, who’s appeared near an inhabited planet. A transmission asks you to repair their defensive shield before “the Deadeye” arrives to genocide them, which, uh, okay I think I know whose side I’m on here, game.

It’s all building up to Abermore’s central heist: The Feast of the Lucky Few. It’s also my only chance to rescue the famous Hanged Man, a dame I met on the boat over here. They’re the thief of thieves! A living legend! But the tyrant king grabbed her before we got ashore and she’ll be executed in eighteen days if I don’t break her out. That’s eighteen nights to prepare, eighteen jobs to build the resources, the connections I need for the heist of a life time....

It was confirmed last night during the surprisingly PC-relevant Nintendo Direct. A remaster will come to Steam this summer. Here’s the trailer confirming it: Ghost Trick casts you as a recently deceased detective who returns as a ghost and continues to thwart crime. You can possess corpses and inanimate objects in order to solve puzzles, save lives, and solve your own murder. It’s odd and funny, as per many DS games of the era....

Update: Also joining them, Ubisoft suspending sales in Russia and Take-Two suspending sales in Russia and Belarus. “Epic is stopping commerce with Russia in our games in response to its invasion of Ukraine,” the company tweeted on Saturday. But they’re not outright blocking Russia, they made clear, explaining, “We’re not blocking access for the same reason other communication tools remain online: the free world should keep all lines of dialogue open....

According to The Wall Street Journal (watch out for the paywall), the SEC have launched a “wide-ranging” investigation into Activision Blizzard. They allegedly want to see records of Kotick’s communications with other execs about the allegations, the personnel files of six former employees, separation agreements from staff who left this year, and notes from board meetings dating back to 2019. The Wall Street Journal says that the SEC are investigating whether the allegations should’ve been disclosed to investors before the initial lawsuit was made public....
