Sure, Dead Space is getting a remake, but there's more than one game about cutting off limbs, and the other one is called Clone Drone In The Danger Zone. After four years in early access, the voxel robot arena battler (with laser swords) has hit 1.0 today.
Facebook have halted sales of the Oculus Quest 2 after a small number of users reported skin irritation caused by its foam faceplate. They're offering a silicone cover for the faceplate to all existing Quest 2 owners, and the silicone cover will be included with every Quest 2 when sales resume on August 24th.
I mean, who would trust Sin, honestly? I choose to half trust her. In our HighFleet review, she wrote that there was a brilliant game buried underneath its frustrations, and as RPS's chunky button hype man, I'm choosing to believe the "brilliant" bit only.
Anyway, HighFleet is out today. Pick a side.
Good news, everyone! The Ryzen 5 5600X continues its march to lower prices, with the CPU now available from antonline via Ebay for $269.99. That's $10 cheaper than it was just last month and, critically, about the same price as the Intel Core i5 11400F. The Intel CPU debuted at a much lower price, but low supplies and positive reviews have inflated the price substantially, to the point where the more powerful 5600X is now the better value pick!
Draknek, developer of puzzles games such as A Monster's Expedition and Sokobond, broadcast their own 'Draknek Direct' earlier this evening. It's six-and-a-half minutes of puzzle game goodness, and it brings news of a free Monster's Expedition expansion, a release date for possession-burning puzzler Bonfire Peaks, and the announcement of a brand new game.
The new game is Sokobond Express, a mashup of Sokobond and Cosmic Express, and you can see it and all of the above in the video below.
The Razer BlackWidow V3 TKL is a great compact mechanical keyboard from a major brand, so I'd normally expect to see it selling for £80 to £100 - so when I saw that it was discounted to £55 at Currys PC World, I was shocked to say the least. Thankfully, my spit take didn't destroy my own keyboard, so I can tell you exactly why I reckon this is a Deal Worth Knowing About.
The third Guild Wars 2 expansion, End Of Dragons, has just been revealed. The latest update to one of today's best MMORPGs adds a new island realm of Cantha, boats, and a co-op mount that lets two players ride together. Yup, you and a BFF get to ride the Siege Turtle in tandem.
Everyone knew it was coming, dulling the surprise somewhat, but it’s still pretty cool to get confirmation of a Dead Space remake. Well, we've decided that it’ll be good if EA takes a page out of Capcom’s book and goes the Resi route with its Isaac Clarke revival.
Tribes Of Midgard is a part-survival, part-slashy-attacky, part oh my goodness that frost giant is huge> online adventure, for up to 10 Viking pals. It has elements of games like Valheim, Diablo, even a splash of Hades. You all pile into a unique world together, and try to survive waves of baddies attacking your town base, as an even bigger, badder giant stomps towards you over the course of several nights.
Accustomed as we are to yelling at each other and hitting trees, several of the RPS treehouse undertook the task of halting Ragnorok, and found ourselves unequal to it. There's a lot to enjoy in Tribes Of Midgard, but unfortunately most of it is obscured by an unbalanced economy that stymies progress into the fun stuff. Also, you will be naked for longer than you imagine.
Shine those shoes, straighten that tie and ready those objections, fellow legal eagles, because today's the day The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles arrives on PC. It's been a long time coming for Phoenix Wright fans. Set in Victorian times long before the birth of Capcom's famous finger-wagging defence attorney, The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles finally makes its way west after first appearing as a Japanese-only Nintendo 3DS game six whole years ago. I had loads of great things to say about it in my Great Ace Attorney Chronicles review yesterday, but one thing I didn't really get round to talking about was its sumptuous character animations. So I went and made a bunch of GIFs to show you some of them in action, and man alive, I could watch these all damn day.
