A tail worth telling Wake up, mayflies! You got something against horrible giant rats, Ed Thorn? The rats, naturally, get points by killing or knocking down heroes. The two teams switch sides when either the heroes complete their objectives or the gutterspawn succeed in murdering everybody.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Super review: what the RTX 4070 should have been

Obviously, ultimate success will depend on theRTX 4070 Ti Super and the RTX 4080 Superas well. It even makes theRTX 4070 Tiobsolete, let alone theRTX 4070it replaces. But even if it was running stock, boost speed isnt actually a Super-specific improvement. Which, incidentally, its not half bad at. Not bad, not bad at all. Nonetheless, its advantages narrow at this resolution, leaving the competition feeling much fiercer. For native-rez, non-ray tracing play, the cheaper RX 7800 XT repeatedly looks like the smarter option....

Obsidian's first-person fantasy RPG Avowed is coming this autumn

It looks… like 2006? Tonight’sXbox Developer Directbrought an update onAvowed, Obsidian’s first-person fantasyRPG. It looks… fine? A ‘fine’ that I’m deeply ambivalent about.

Puzzle game classic Threes gets surprise Steam PC release in February

The release date is 6th February, and here’s theSteam page. The new version adds controller and Steam cloud support together with achievements and leaderboards. Given its mobile origins, it should scrub up nicely on Steam Deck. Me writing this post is an absolute travesty. Back in 2014, I think I was mostly playing Destiny and had little time for such trivial distractions. What kind of DPS output is that? Wake me up when it’s 37425 plus Void damage, with an escalating fire-rate....

Turnip Boy Robs A Bank review: continuing Turnip Boy's story in slightly chaotic roguelite style

Laughing all the way to the… well, you know. Readers may remember how much I likedTurnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, principally because of how funny it was. Multiple times, which is where the roguelitery comes in. By this point you’ll already know if you’ll enjoy the tone of Turnip Boy Robs A Bank. Many of the best yuks are predicated on you having played the original Turnip Boy game. The fuzz are called the fuzz because the cops are mostly peaches....

Upcoming visual novel Vampire Therapist mixes vampires and dark humour with CBT

This potentially spicy meatball is out in June this year. As we all know,I like vampire stories, and I likedifferent takes on vampire stories. Yesterday Edwin dangled an upcomingvisual novelcalledVampire Therapistin front of my nose. I am intrigued, also because I appreciate a Ronseal approach to titles. So the title works twice!
