Of course the original editions of the Steam Charts focused on those maps used by the early pioneers of steam-based exploration, so this week we take a historical look back at the origins of your favourite game series. For just one week, put aside your modern electricity-based computing, and come on a journey through time.
Manga mash-up fighter Jump Force is out today, and I feel there’s something almost uniquely off-putting about its aesthetic. Don’t be me wrong – I’ve nothing against anime – but Spike Chunsoft appear to have carefully cultivated a look for their fighter that I can only describe as ‘Doofing around in Garry’s Mod‘. Still, despite the bizarre look, it’s apparently not an awful fighter, letting you pit superheroes and villains from Japan’s Shonen Jump manga anthology (or your own mad creations) against each other in three-on-three tag fights. See the overly dramatic launch trailer below.
