One of the greatest surprises in Deadpool & Wolverine is Channing Tatum's excellent performance as Gambit. It's a cameo that shines above all the other cameos in a movie made up almost entirely of cameos. As the movie ends, it's a shame that we have to say goodbye to Tatum's portrayal just as we finally got it. Well,…

     Lord of Metal turns Guitar Hero into a Rimworld style management sim

Management sims have taken on many guises over the years - Two Point has placed us in hospitals and college campuses, Tropico has whisked us away to exotic islands, and Rimworld tests our skills on distant planets. But I can't recall there ever being a management sim based around a heavy music festival. Well, that's going to change with Lord of Metal, which not only lets you manage your own traveling festival, but has Guitar Hero-style minigames too.

     Age of Mythology Retold review - a great remake of a classic RTS

If Age of Empires feels at least a little classy, like the kind of game you could show to your history buff dad, Age of Mythology is the pulp novel equivalent. It's trashy and bombastic like a schoolyard conversation about whether Goku would beat Superman. Now you can find out whether Zeus would best Thor in a fight (or at least which of their proxy armies). Age of Mythology: Retold is the latest in a line of AoE re-releases and the most expansive to date. If you have a head for turn-of-the-century RTS design and can get behind its frivolous tone, Retold is as fine as any RTS remake out there.

Old John Tolkien was never one to look to the future so he'd no doubt be surprised at the sheer juggernaut his mythological creation has become. Since the arrival of Peter Jackson's film trilogy, The Lord of The Rings has taken over the world and while there have been entries with varying degrees of success there are a few adaptations that have hit the ball out of the park. Two of these, Lego The Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth Shadow of Mordor, are currently free to grab for yourself.

What is the Slay the Spire 2 release date? Slay the Spire fans knew Mega Crit were in the kitchen cooking up something fierce after ending development on its debut game back in 2020. While there have been some small updates to fix some bugs and ensure compatibility on the Steam Deck, the original game has been complete for years.

First revealed at the Triple-I Initiative Showcase in April 2024, Slay the Spire 2 was announced to the world with a stylish animated trailer. The developers have confirmed there's a new set of slayers joining the cast, including returning favorites, Ironclad and The Silent. It's been over 1,000 years since the Spire was last open, so expect the creatures and monsters in this roguelike game to be completely different this time.

Corsair has just unveiled a new budget gaming mouse that comes in both wired and wireless forms and offers a potentially ideal combination of features for PC gamers on the move. The Corsair M55 and M55 Wireless can't claim to be the most exciting-looking mice ever, but with the wireless option's battery lasting up to 400 hours on Bluetooth, it could be a tempting option for those on the go.

These new Corsair mice aren't looking to break any great performance records, but they still pack in capable sensors and switches that should prove more than capable when needed. They might not sit among the best gaming mouse options when it comes to performance, but their prices look great for the specs on offer.

     Best action games on PC 2024

What are the best action games? To stand out from the rest, the best action games offer deep mechanics that take minutes to learn but hundreds of hours to truly master. Some offer a few combat buttons to fend off attackers, while others have intricate combos you'd typically find in fighting games, and luckily, they give you plenty of targets to practice on.

If you're up for something a little more substantial, taking many hours to complete, we have a separate list of the best action-adventure games to whet your appetite. Alternatively, there are FPS games with action game mechanics, such as Doom Eternal where you can blow up hordes of demonic enemies in front of your very eyes. Modern RPG games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake also opt for a more action-filled real-time combat system.

     One of the best RPGs of 2023, Sea of Stars is getting a big free DLC

Sea of Stars caught me seriously by surprise. The retro-style RPG with significant similarities to Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, and the classic era of Final Fantasy, I was expecting a game that skated by on raw nostalgia value, a pretty but perhaps light fantasy adventure with only so much to offer beyond its pixelated visuals. Instead, Sea of Stars was one of the best RPGs I played last year, a solid, well-told story with smart combat (I love Valere's little parry system) and a charismatic cast. Now, Sea of Stars is about to get even better - as confirmed at the Indie World Showcase, the new Sea of Stars DLC is finally on its way, and it's going to be free for everyone.

It looks as though the first AMD Radeon 8000 GPUs are now being tested prior to launch, giving us our first glimpse of what could be in store with the new series based on the RDNA 4 architecture. If this listing is right, though, then the specs look pretty underwhelming.

Current rumors already point to AMD focusing on mid-range performance with its new Radeon RX 8000 lineup, and leaving the flagship best graphics card title to Nvidia. This wouldn't be the first time AMD took this strategy either, with its Vega and first-gen RDNA GPUs also sitting below Nvidia's top-end options at the time.

I find it bizarre that people still really like Crash Bandicoot games in this, the year 2024, two decades after the decline of the platform mascot warz. I have ample nostalgia for the old marsupial myself, with his second Naughty Dog-developed outing being a particular obsession, but come now, we're all about deckbuilders, soulsliking and battle royale nowadays, right?

Still, I'll admit to a twinge of disappointment after reading that a Crash Bandicoot 5 was once in development at Crash 4: It's About Time developers Toys For Bob, and might have featured an interdimensional team-up with one of Crash's old rivals. No, not Mario.

When we talk about a game having a sense of place, it's often about how adroitly it covers up the necessary falsehoods of a world contrived to accommodate the player character. It's the good kind of lie. One with purpose, like Lucas smearing vaseline over the camera lens to cover up the landspeeder's wheels. Star Wars Outlaws, then, is a strange case. Because while its planets and cities do feel ersatz as living places, they're kind of incredible as film sets. That's your job here. This is where the game is. You don't play it so much as you perform your role in a series of loving, enthusiastic callbacks. That's a star war. This is a star war. Oh, hey, I know that! That's one of my favourite star warses.

The slugcat of Rain World is a distinct little character. He flops around, squeezing through narrow tunnels with a movement that's both cute and mildly gross. When he is eaten by a passing disco lizard or ravenous skull-faced vulture, it is because he is basically a delicious Squirmle existing in a horrifying cryptozoological ecosystem. He is, however, never stepped upon by a mech with a missile launcher. He is never given a shotgun and tasked with shooting the other animals. Yet that basically seems to be the elevator pitch for Uruc, a sci-fi metroidvania set in a distant future where strange life battles mechanical monstrosities.

This morning I left my torpid flat in search of coffee, sniffed the restive wind, noted with approval the gloom gathering beneath the trees, and thought: at last, summer is over. At last, we quit the disgusting sunlit months. At last we leave all that is green and good behind, and return to the time of monsters.

Supermassive Games and Behaviour Interactive must have gotten the memo too. They've just released a demo for their next horror game The Casting Of Frank Stone, in which you are a policeman, Sam Green, who is investigating the disappearance of a child. The search leads you to Cedar Hills Steel Mill, "where chilling secrets await, revealing a far more sinister truth than anyone could have anticipated". I am anticipating: QTEs during escape sequences, branching choices that get people killed, and General Mature Content appropriate to the coming of Halloween.

Square Enix NFT game Symbiogenesis collaborates with Yoshitaka Amano NFT project Zielchain

Square Enix announced that it has launched a collaboration event between its NFT game Symbiogenesis and Zielchain. The latter is an NFT project spearheaded by the illustrator Yoshitaka Amano.

The company has placed five items themed after Zielchain inside Symbiogenesis' in-game map for a limited time. People who want to participate in this event will have to find the items by following clues posted on the game's social media accounts.

Players who have obtained all five items will receive exclusive NFT art drawn by Yoshitaka Amano himself. In addition, Square Enix will hold a lottery where the event completionists may win additional prizes. The company will reward Special Auction tickets to 20 lucky people and a Chapter 3 Starter Pack to 50 winners. The latter will contain a stamina recovery potion and a Chapter 3 key visual NFT, as well as replicas of the NFT characters Chimney, Tuber, Sublime, and Farl.

As a refresher, Yoshitaka Amano first revealed his NFT project Zielchain in 2022. The platform would sell NFT art which would also be featured in his VR museum. The Yoshitaka Amano VR Museum has since been made available on PCs via Steam in late September 2023. While the app is free to download and access, it also contains in-app purchases to unlock more content inside the virtual museum.

Symbiogenesis is available to access via Google Chrome browsers on PCs and mobile devices. The collaboration event with Yoshitaka Amano's NFT project Zielchain will run until September 10, 2024.

Street Fighter 6 Juri Capcom Figure Builder Creators Model

Capcom has revealed that it will produce and sell its own Street Fighter 6 Juri figure. The company will release the figure as a part of the Capcom Figure Builder Creators Model series in March 2025.

This figure will be completely static with no movable parts. The Ruined Lab stage will serve as an inspiration for the figure's set base. The set's overall height will be approximately 31 cm (12.2 inches), which is measured from the bottom base to the tip of the pole.

Pre-orders for the figure are immediately available on the Japanese e-Capcom store at 27,500 yen (~$191.60). People residing outside Japan can also place their orders with international shipping via the WorldShopping widget.

Here are the sample images showing the upcoming Juri figure from various angles:

Juri will be the second Street Fighter 6 character to get a figure produced directly by Capcom. The first one is Cammy, whose figure will be available on January 30, 2024. Juri will also get even more figure and statue releases from other companies. Prime 1 Studio is working on a detailed statue of Juri, and Kaiyodo will work on a Revoltech of the same character after releasing Chun-Li's action figure.

The Capcom Figure Builder Creators Model of Juri from Street Fighter 6 will be available on March 13, 2024.

Stray Children Japanese Release Date Set for December 2024

Onion Games announced the Japanese release date for Stray Children as part of the Japanese version of the latest Nintendo Direct August 2024. The new game from the creators of Moon Remix RPG will appear on December 26, 2024 for the Switch.

A new short 36-second trailer appeared during the Direct, showcasing some old and new areas of the Land of Children, as well as the title's unique RPG combat system. The new area shown depicts a waterlocked city inhabited by frog-like people in which the player traverses using a lily pad.

Onion Games is a Japanese studio started by former members of developer Love-de-Lic. The company went on to create Moon: Remix RPG Adventure in 1997, and Onion Games ported the game outside of Japan for the first time in August 2020. The title influenced Undertale creator Toby Fox, and the Stray Children footage shown suggests that Undertale might have influenced back Onion Games' new title, with both title sharing light bullet hell elements and enemy talking mechanics.

Stray Children will come out for the Nintendo Switch on December 26, 2024. At the time of writing there is no announced release date for the game outside of Japan.

Two MySims Games Head to Switch in MySims: Cozy Bundle

During the August 2024 Indie World and Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, EA announced it would bring two MySims games to the Switch as MySims Cozy Bundle. The collection will include the original MySims Wii game and its follow-up MySims Kingdom when it launches on November 19, 2024. 

The two titles are remasters of the more relaxed The Sims spin-offs. MySims involved creating a character and living a life in a town. In the first game, you are in charge of redeveloping a town and helping people with their needs. You create homes, make furniture, and customize them with essences you collect, as well as befriend people around you. Before the Switch release, it appeared on the DS, Wii, PC, and even Blackberries.

With MySims Kingdom, EA took the opportunity to switch things up a bit. That sequel, which only appeared on the DS and Wii originally, involved rebuilding a kingdom with magic in a medieval sort of game. Once again, you use essences to build homes and furniture. You also can befriend people again. 

Here's the trailer showing the first MySims Cozy Bundle footage:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDT5kxDL15U

MySims Cozy Bundle will come to the Nintendo Switch on November 19, 2024, with MySims and MySims Kingdom in the collection.
