I was at an impasse the first time I reached the end of open world RPG Sword Hero‘s combat arena demo. I managed to bandage up the stump where my right arm used to be, recently hacked off by the big burly knight man locked in the arena with me, but could no longer pick…
Headbangers: Rhythm Royale is flying from the roost later this month, and it’s so dumb and stupid I kind of love it. To boil down the concept: imagine Fall Guys, but with rhythm-based minigames in the style of Warioware. You can play a demo of it right now as part of Steam’s Next Fest until…
Too hot to handle Nvidia is voluntarily recalling tens of thousands of Shield Tablets that were sold between July 2014 and July 2015.
