Epic Games Store have found a few more copies of Rebel Galaxy down the back of their couch to give away. Double Damage’s space western (but also very piratey) game is still worth playing if you like big spaceships taking aim at each other across the depths of space. Every death could be narrated by Rutger Hauer having a nice sit-down in the rain. It's free until August 19.

It’s not quite what they’d hoped to release, with only one city out of the four being available at launch, but there’s already plans for a second in a few weeks.

The Tec-9 is Warzone's newest SMG, and, strangely, the third in a row with a name ending in 9. This new Season 5 weapon is completely unique. By default, the Tec-9 fires in semi-automatic. However, it has attachments that make it fire in burst or full-auto. There are going to be a lot of interesting builds for this gun, but if you want to dominate with the Tec-9 right away, we’ve got you covered with our guide to the best Tec-9 loadout in Warzone!

This week's episode of the Ultimate Audio Bang podcast kicks off with some chat about ice creams, which Imogen then sprinkles with some news shavings. We talk Apex Legends cross-progression, Titanfall hacking drama, and nice buffs. Also, Back 4 Blood is a bit good isn't it?

Mobile puzzle hit OCO arrived on PC yesterday, and let me tell you, it is hypnotic>. As you guide a small square around rotating, circular stages, the aim is to collect all the other little squares in the stage in as few mouse clicks and quickest time possible. Its procedurally generated soundtrack reacts to every move you make, and the bright, minimalist visuals are absolutely mesmerizing as they go round and round and round> and round>... It's a great game to groove and zone out with, and I think I can confidently say that it is absolutely filling the Holedown-shaped hole in my life right now.

I can't believe I didn't give up on Forklift Load immediately. Its opening tutorial is exactly the kind of skill cliff I've rejected a hundred games for in the past. You control a little forklift truck, and are asked to do forklifty things. Lifting. Moving. Uh... forking. But the first thing you're asked is one of the fiddliest things in the game, as you have to slide your prongs inside a pallet at exactly the right position to lift it from another forklift, which of course means you'll spend ten minutes bashing prongs (pronggg) together at the last second and deliberately dropping the barrels in the hope that they explode.

They do not. But they do flip out now and then, and you have to start the whole job again. I should hate this. Why don't I hate this?
