If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the Hitman business, it’s this: when a person sees a coin, they will risk absolutely anything to pick it up. Now since I was made in a lab and all, I don’t know much about money. But I’m not stupid. I reckon these “coins” they’ve been giving me for my missions must be pretty valuable. In fact, I am utterly certain that they are worth one billion pounds each. And I’ve got three of ‘em. Which makes me a trillionaire>.
So. Diana - the boss - has taken me to Mendoza. Not exactly sure why, ‘cos I wasn’t really paying attention, but there's this Yates geezer throwing a fancy party, which she wants to infiltrate so that a secret society can make her queen of the world. She’s welcome to try. But she hasn’t got three billion pounds, has she? I have. And I'm gonna use 'em to beat Diana at her own game, join this secret society myself, and become king of the world. All I need to do is get into a position to impress them, and I’ll be set for life.
Narita Boy is a sidescrolling metroidvania about a boy who's trapped in a video game world. He's gotta find a cool sword, beat up some evil code people, and listen to some excellent music while he's at it. If you fancy helping him, the game arrives on PC and consoles on March 30th. It also features floppy disk hoverboards, and looks like the sort of 1980s techy adventure Ready Player One wishes it could be.
The WD Black SN850 is one of the best SSDs for gaming you can buy right now, and it's currently our top recommendation for those looking to upgrade to a new PCIe 4.0 SSD right now, too. Happily, Amazon UK have knocked £30 off the 500GB model of WD's flagship NVMe drive today, taking it down to its lowest ever price since it came out at the end of last year.
Put on your hat and mittens, because Crusader Kings 3 is planning on dropping some snow on your medieval kingdoms. Paradox Interactive have revealed that winter is on the way in the strategy game's 1.3 patch, which will cover your map in a smattering of the white stuff as the season progresses. Winter isn't just about the aesthetics, though, the severity of season will affect how well your loyal subjects cope.
I've played Valheim a fair bit with some pals, and we're proud owners of a modest viking den with some happy bees. All in all, it's a nice time. But there are a few small things that irk me about norse life, like inventory management, crafting, and other little things. And it seems that I'm not the only one with a ruffled beard. To help smooth out these bumps, I've sought out some mods in an effort to improve my clan's quality of life.
As barriers between systems finally begin to break down, we're starting to see games let us share saves and progress across different devices and sometimes even play with pals on other systems. With Rainbow 6 Siege, Ubisoft now say they're working on cross-platform progression buuut they're cautious about letting PC peeps actually play against consoleers in cross-platform multiplayer. It'd be a shame if they didn't, but I would kinda get it.
If you're tired of your digital farm life then why not turn off all that tech and get back into the real world? I don't mean in a garden or farm with mud and stuff, I'm talking about dice, cards and little chips you move around a board. Stardew Valley developer Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone announced Stardew Valley: The Board Game last night, inviting players to defend the Valley from the evil Joja Corporation in tabletop form.
Rogue Heroes: Ruins Of Tasos is a cute, old school Zelda-like for up to four players - and its out now on Steam, with a demo if you're curious.
