Void/Breaker hands you a hyper-moddable gun and tells you to massacre some architecture

I joke, I joke. Bet it’s Windows 7. Fortunately for Void/Breaker, I overcame the above feelings of crushing hopelessness and watched the trailer. It’s absolutely not Returnal, but it haunts me in a similar way. Here’s the trailer. The developer is Stubby Games, aka Daniel Stubbington, creator of The Entropy Centre. We never managed to review that, but James liked the demo enough tofeature it in a round-up. I’m not judging you if you just want to stick around and murder buildings, mind....

Xbox wireless controllers now available from just $34.99 at Lenovo

Use these promo codes to save big. I think this is the best deal I’ve seen on a PC controller in a long time. If you ask me, nothing else beats Xbox’s gamepad for comfort and reliability. Also, the colors are great. These controllers have more personality than most NPCs I’ve talked to this year. Some colors are already selling out, and I’m not shocked.

If you like Bioshock's city, Dishonored's powers and Lies Of P's robots, check out Welcome To Brightville

Still, it rattles and whirrs along convincingly enough in the below announcement trailer. The Beatles parallel isn’t entirely frivolous, for this is a world defined by music. “Characters sing, incorporating musical elements into the story.” Was that… GlaDOS I heard yodelling through the PA system earlier? “From elemental explosions to intricate spell interactions, combat is fast, dynamic, and highly customizable.” It’s slated for release on PC in 2027. One to watch while you carry the torch forDishonored 3....

It's time to play Monster Hunter again, but now you're an Orc

It’s basically a first-person low-budget Monster Hunter game in which the Hunters are Orcs. Orcs do not do self-deception, as a rule. They do not go for sanitised violence or anthropocentric fantasies about becoming “nature’s caretakers”. They are straightforwardly happy to club things to bits. Looks like ludonarrative consonance is back on the menu, boys! Not especially giant snails, no, just regular snails that made the mistake of looking smashable....

Fifty thousand people have died, and Microsoft powers this genocide in our region." Instead, you chose to intentionally disrupt the speech of Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman." Importantly, we ask that this be done in a way that does not cause a business disruption....

The legendarily terrible Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is now available on Steam

18 Wheels Of Thunder! Flames jet from the snout of the marauding ‘rig like snorted breakfast tequila following an especially piquant ex-wifely punchline. A rammed police car flails uselessly against the sheer girth of but one of those 18 thunderous wheels. Perhaps we might imagine a single tear trickling down the exasperated coparoo’s cheek. The 8 remains, smugly, for two decades. 8 is the Metacritic score for Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing....
