Out today, has flesh trees Warhammer 40,000: Gladius - Relics Of Wardevelopers Proxy Studios have just released Zephon, a new 4Xstrategygame set in a manky, post-apocalyptic world. It’s got hexagonal maps, flesh trees, gangly Evangelion-grade giants, “otherworldly hymns of decay”, nuclear bombs, and a player-led “blend of magic and cyberpunk” that extends from the city architecture to the research component. All of which is my cup of giblets. Here’s the launch trailer....

Like water off a big bomb “The cool thing about bombs is that you can hide them in anything,” is probably my favourite Oppenheimer quote of all time, and in the case of Ian Hitman, it does raise an important question: with so many everyday objects equal to the rubber duck in its unthreatening aura, yet more inconspicuous, why choose to put an explosive in this one? The simplest answer is that’s it’s a recurring bit of levity, a holdover easter egg, elevated to the status of key mission item inHitman: Codename 47before being given pride of place as an explosive in theWorld Of Assassinationgames....

Prelude pre-alpha now inviting 2000 new players a week If you’re new to Soulframe, it’s a stately swords-and-sorcery affair with a hazy golden open world and procedural dungeons. It has the same visual opulence as Warframe, with richly woven costumes and an interface of painted scrolls and sigils, and the same appetite for screwy jargon-tastic lore writing. But it plays things quieter. Everything looks old and dusty and the pacing of exploration and encounters seems closer to From Software’s work - you’ll weigh up every blow....

I was going to do a ‘Kermit/Commit’ bit, but then you’d all just be insufferable about frogs and toads In all honesty,Toads Of The Bayoucould have been several notches less ribbet-ing than itsSteam demoended up being, because its stylised pixel fly-snatchers are just that good. There’s only one of the three characters available in the freebie (one of the others is a toad nun with a shotgun), but he’s got a little cutlass, a flintlock pistol, and a can-do attitude - at least when it comes to either stabbing or shooting things....
