Big changes are coming to car football today. Rocket League has replaced its lock and key lootbox system with an item shop and blueprints for items. The new system is still random, but takes away the risk that you’ll spend any actual money on an item you don’t want.

When John left RPS, I wrote in his goodbye post that it was his reviews that I’d miss most. It’s a good thing for me personally, then, that John has just launched a new website. Buried Treasure is a blog on which John reviews “undiscovered indie gaming gems”, and there’s a Patreon where you can help it carry on.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is allegedly an action game about a gun-slingin’ guy named Arthur Morgan but to many of us it’s become an Old West simulator where we can live the simple life hunting game and looking at trees unbothered by society. Exploration is king in RDR2 but the one place we can’t explore is a place we took for granted in the previous game: Mexico.

When a game s cutscene begins and the dialogue starts spooling, I can t help it. My phone comes out and I m scrolling. From being active I ve suddenly become passive, and rather than stay engaged, my brain impulsively turns to Twitter, Reddit, anything>, to feed its pathetic desire for reward through light interaction.

We’re in the process of compiling information on how to defeat the four raid bosses, but for now, here’s how to access the raid mode.

Have you ever looked at your computer table with its keyboard, mouse, monitor, gamepad, and mousemat and thought “These are some nice lumps of gaming plastic, but what if I had dozens more and they were tiny?” For you, reader dear, our corporate family at Gamer Network today formally launched Dicebreaker, a new site and YouTube channel dedicated to covering tables in slabs of cardboard, sheets of paper, dice, counters, and wee plastic people. Apparently they use these to play board games, RPGs, card games, and that? It’s like they’ve never heard of Tabletop Simulator.

Today is day four of the RPS Advent Calendar but to be honest, you should probably keep that door shut. No seriously, you don’t want to open a chink in our defences.
