Microsoft have "aligned on the best opportunities for growth" by laying off nearly two thousand people

Including people at Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax and Xbox Given that Microsoft havespent considerable time and effortbecoming the biggest cock-of-the-walk possible, it does, I suppose, make sense that their layoffs are correspondingly massive. In an internal memo obtained byThe Verge, Phil Spencer is very sad to reveal to the staff that, in order to grow, the combined powers of Microsoft’s 22k-strong Gaming Division have to be denuded to the tune of 1,900 human beings....

Pokémon Company statement on Palworld copyright allegations sounds a lot like "please leave us the hell alone"

If you’re late to the party, possibly because you only play games on an Apple Macintosh 128K,Palworldis a newsurvivalsim in the Ark vein with a monster-catching element. The monsters themselves, akaPals, appear heavily inspired by Pokémon - the overall vibe is very much “Aldi variation on your favourite brand of Ketchup”. Developers Pocketpair insist that they’re original creations. In ablogfrom earlier this month, translated by our guides writer Jeremy Blum, CEO Takuro Mizobe argued that “many people say that PalWorld is just a plagiarised game, but it has special novelties in it, like howGenshin Impactdiffers from Breath of the Wild”....

Telmari's toilet plunger arrows are one of my new favourite platforming tricks

Play the demo for this speedrunning platformer ahead of its release on February 16th Who’d have thought toilet plungers would make for such good jumping assistants when it comes to propelling yourself over big, thorny brambles and angry animals? Well, clearly the trio of developers at Phoenix Blasters did, as their upcoming platformerTelmariputs them front and centre as its main form of traversal. Your titular tiny heroine can’t jump very far on her own, you see, so to save her beloved sunflowers from the spiky thorns of an ominous-looking tree, she’ll need to fire them around the environment to help hoist her over obstacles to get to the, err, root of the problem....

We kneaded this As far as bread goes, I’d say those unlimited top-ups you get with fancy meals can sometimes supersede the actual meal itself. A little swirl in olive oil and balsamic? Mwah, delicious. For a more regular transaction, I do love a multi-seeded loaf for the added texture. Now, would I say I like bread more than… anime? That’s tough. But thankfully I don’t need to decide, as there’s a demo of a game out right now that combines both interests....
