One of the ‘fun’ things about Deadlock being in ‘closed beta’—that is, not officially released, but relatively accessible with an invite from a pal—is the fact that Valve is under no compulsion or desire to keep the meta stable for any serious length of time. As is the case with Silver. Silver’s the newest hero…
And at $450, it’s just as well. Last year, I was lucky enough to go hands-on with a prototype of the Octopus TR Fight Stick, an all-in-one arcade stick which eventually raised over $150,000 via Indiegogo.

In real life I’m pretty sure I can’t pick up a rock, grab a stick, collect some “plant fiber” (whatever the hell that is), then use those three items to craft an axe that can cut down a few dozen trees. Most likely, my “axe” would break on the first swing and I’d have better…
Last week, we asked you grab your gallon hat and hop back on the horse in Red Dead Online.

Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics is not only…
Sud’s up. After four years of service, Square Enix and FuturLab have released the last content update for PowerWash Simulator, titled ‘The Muckingham Files 6’. Fittingly described as the “final stop” on the PowerWash journey, this free update leaves us with a mucky tube train in need of a scrubbing and the Sculpture Park —…
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson says the company’s acquisition by a consortium made up of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners investment firm, and private equity firm Silver Lake represents “a new era of opportunity,” and that “our values and our commitment to players and fans around the world remain unchanged.” Wilson…
It even runs on real hardware. A Super Mario 64 modder has built their very own Minecraft-style voxel engine inside the classic N64 game’s engine, and it turns out, it’s even playable on a real Nintendo 64 console. Arthurtilly is the creator of popular ROM hacks like the Mario 64 Randomizer and SM64: The Green…
