I guarantee you’ll need something in today’s deals. You’ve got top-tier GPUs, fast CPUs, and desktops that could run a small moon base. On the other, there’s a humble Ethernet switch for the cost of a takeaway and an SSD enclosure that does exactly what it says on the tin. Equal parts power and practicality.
Dark and Darker is a bit of a Schroedinger’s video game, isn’t it? Seemingly fleeting back and forth between a state of being available for sale and being outright delisted. Back in March, the multiplayer extraction game was delisted from the Epic Games Store, with developer Ironmace saying at the time that the “decision appears to be based on claims made by opposing parties in an ongoing legal dispute.”
Fishing, I think, is the truest of all video game power fantasies. Action hero combat, romance wish fulfilment, god like abilities, all of that sort of thing pales in comparison to the act of fishing in a game. Just you, your rod, and a whole load of open water. I love to fish in video games, despite not being someone that has a strong desire to 100% genres like collectathons, I do love getting as many fish as I can, and I love a twist on the format. Enter Out Fishing, a mysterious sounding horror fishing game.
I find Fortnite’s desperation to be the everything game both fascinating and overwhelming. There’s always something new for you to do around the corner, some new game mode that’s attempting to tap into current trends of whatever it is that kids are into at any given moment. Currently, on the younger audience side of things with Lego Fortnite, Epic Games are launching Expeditions, a new wave-based mode that looks like a bit of a blend between a hero shooter and Left 4 Dead.
If you wondered why it worth making such a fuss to save Super Earth from the Illuminate in Helldivers 2 not too long ago, you might want to take a look at the game’s latest Galactic War twist. A fresh major order has players embarking to cities that the squids have twisted in their image, and they’re a sight to behold.
Urban warfare’s the thing in the shooter at the moment, with the divers having just resisted a big bug invasion of a bunch of cities. Now, they’re dropping in to try and save innocent citizens that might already have been, uh, squidified.
Helldivers 2 just got a fresh patch, and it’s come with a free cape (not a review bomb cape, mind you) that folks who took part in the battle for Super Earth can wear to prove they played a part in the victory. Stick it on your back, and maybe think about showing it off in the glitzy glow of the spotlights the patch adds to Leviathans.
Seriously, I promise doing that last bit won’t precede the flying squid things immediately zapping you to death. Ok, maybe it will.
Yesterday, modding site Nexus Mods announced a change in ownership that’ll see its founder step back. Not much info was provided in the announcement as to who the new owners were, but it’s now been confirmed to be a company called Chosen.
As we reported yesterday, the ownership change announcement penned by Nexus mods founder Robin ‘Dark0ne’ Scott didn’t go into much detail as to the identity of those being handed the reigns. A Victor and a Marinus were cited as having “come on board to lead this next chapter”, along with links to their Nexus Mods profiles that only offered brief bios.
I really like the world of Promise Mascot Agency as a place, not so much the things this open world collect ’em up management sim makes me do to see more of it. I feel like I went through much trouble stealing the sticker-coated notebook of the uber-talented eccentric artist kid in class, only to find it filled with page after page of shopping lists for monstrous quantities of canned goods, each item heavier and blander than the last.
Funny. Charming. And, hot dancing dog blossoms, that soundtrack. But it ultimately feels so graspy and nagging and pointlessly numerical to actually engage with. Like being hounded by push notifications, insistent as unscratched scabs.
Beta test site and small game curator Alpha Beta Gamer have put out their Games To Get Excited About 2025 showcase, and (salt to taste, granted) it’s exactly what it says on the tin. 110 curated trailers in an hour and five minutes, organised and timestamped by genre, with no paid adverts and no teeth-grindingly awful skits. They’ve also made a point to not include any cinematic trailers, although I haven’t watched the whole thing yet. They might be liars. Are you liars, Alpha Beta Gamer? Wait, don’t answer that. I’ve seen Labyrinth like fifty billion times, I know how this ends up.
NVIDIA’s latest GPUs are here, and whatever you think about them, the combination of DLSS, Reflex, frame generation and more makes them impressively capable.
