Today, I dived into Sea Of Thieves with a single goal in mind: buy and hang out with a dog. Rare’s pirate sandbox got its big September update yesterday, introducing some new canine pals to the game’s premium store, and what can I say? I love pets, and I love pirates. This game just gets me. So, I’d like you all to meet Rox, and come with us on our very first adventure out on the Sea Of Thieves to go for a walkies on a nice sunny island.

Pack your bags, fellow Bigfoots. Alan “Draknek” Hazelden and pals are ready to take us on A Monster’s Expedition. A delightful log-pushing puzzler from the creator of Cosmic Express and Sokobond, Hazelden’s latest is a thoughtful trek through an unconventional museum of forgotten human curiosities. The expedition sets off today, so hop along if you’re up for a particularly “twee” post-apocalyptic puzzler.

Huh! Out of nowhere, a massive, unannounced update just skulked its way into Rainbow Six: Siege. Fittingly, it’s the one wot’s adding Splinter Cell sneaky-boy Sam Fisher to the Clanceyverse team shooter. Operation Shadow Legacy is now live seemingly ahead of its own announcement, adding a new operator, map and scope reworks, and a whole host of smaller fixes. Just give us a heads up next time, eh?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to tell me anything. Dontnod’s latest miniseries, Tell Me Why, has finally wrapped, closing out a three-part tale of supernatural twins in small-town Alaska with today’s release of Episode 3. So, does Tell Me Why hold up against Dontnod’s lineage of magical youth dramas? And can we make it through another post without making more Backstreet Boys references?

I’ll take any chance I get to talk about the excellent WD Blue SN550, because if you’re in the market for a new NVMe SSD, there really isn’t anything better for the money – especially when you can nab a 500GB one for just $55 over at Newegg today, putting this particular capacity at its lowest ever price.

Bungie this week confirmed something everyone basically already knew: Destiny has more Hunters than any other class. 38% of Guardians are Hunters and I mean, of course, we’re the best. Bungie blasted this stat among others in celebration of Destiny’s sixth birthday yesterday, which I suppose we can still mark on PC even if the first game never came over. Honestly, I’m a little surprised we don’t have more Hunters – who could say no to a cape?

The coronavirus pandemic has shut down yet another gaming event. This time it’s Counter-Strike: Global Offensive‘s Rio Major, and Valve say they won’t be scheduling any more of the tournaments until LAN events are safe to hold around the world again.

Valve have also addressed coaches being able to cheat in competitive games for years using a bug, detailing the action they’ll be taking against these cheaty cheaters.

It is another week in the year 2020, which must mean there’s yet another deal on Corsair’s excellent Vengeance LPX RAM. Indeed, if you head over to Amazon right now, you can nab a 16GB [cms-block]-approved kit clocked at a very nippy 3600MHz for just £54 / $60 at the moment, which are some of the lowest prices I’ve seen for this particular speed in recent months.

Three years after announcing Skull & Bones with an initial squall of previews, Ubisoft still don’t have much to say about the pirate ship game which was once due in 2018. Don’t expect to see it during tonight’s Ubisoft Forward announce-o-rama stream or even this year, Ubi have now said, but they do assure that production is “in full swing with a new vision”. Last we saw, it was basically the ship battles of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag expanded into a multiplayer game.
