Elevator pitch Let’s get this out of the way first:KnifePlayground: Horror Battle Royaleis an absolutely terrible name for game. You might as well callHalo"GunMap: Alien Crowd Control", orBaldur’s Gate 3"TownDungeon: Party Enhancement Simulator". But the project beneath the moniker has something to it. Announced just today and created by small Brazilian team MadMozer, it’s a first-person, multiplayer-focussed, Unreal Engine deathgame that traps you in a randomly generated mansion with a bunch of archetypalhorrormovie munsters - demon clowns, cursed puppets, toothy ghouls and hooded axe-murderers....

Might make you eat your fist Made by solo dev Andy Brophy,Knuckle Sandwichis a turn-based RPG that’s about guiding a bloke through an island paradise and eventually uncovering some weird mystery. Its main hook? Turn-based battles are filled with WarioWare-style minigames, many of which are unique to the kooky residents or rats you come up against. Unfortunately, I’d say its main hook is actually its most painful barb, and one you’re barely able to extract by flicking some switches in the settings menu....

Co-op horror game continues to go down a storm on Steam Lethal Company- the game in which you exit a dropship, enter an abandoned factory, pick up exactly one (1) piece of salvage, and are immediately eaten by something made entirely of teeth - is getting a VR mod. Created by DaXcess and rodabafilms, it will surely only make life more oppressive for people deserted by their co-op buddies and left to fend off giant spiders with a shovel, not that I’d know what that’s like....

The Intel Core i7-14700K comes to the rescue, again IntelCPUshave disappointed twice this year, first with the why-even-botherRaptor Lake Refresh generationand now with a notable lack of decentBlack Fridaydeals. There’s a small handful of 13th-gen chips at good prices, but nothing on par with theAMD Ryzen 7 5800XorRyzen 7800X3Dthat Will highlighted earlier this week. I have, however, spotted a surprise £20 discount on the Intel Core i7-14700K, which just happens to be the only CPU in the new 14th-gen lineup that actuallyisworth buying....

Starting from $26 Both theSteam DeckandSteam Deck OLEDcome bundled with cases – new and improved ones, if you get a 1TB OLED – so it wouldn’t initially make sense to invest in a third-party one. ButSteam Deck accessoriescan take many forms, and I’ve been particularly convinced by the case style that combines a space-saving protective skin with a tougher removeable cover. Since the Dbrand Project Killswitch isn’t playing Black Friday ball, it falls to my other favourite, JSAUX’s ModCase, to provide the bargains....

It’ll also, allegedly, take place during the first Gulf War across 1990 and 1991, in which a US-led coalition of countries including the UK, Saudi Arabia and Egypt invaded Iraq in response to the Saddam Hussein government’s conquest of Kuwait. All that comes fromWindows Central, who cite a number of sources “familiar with Activision’s plans”....
