Follow me! Friends, let me admit something up top. I am the most tedious ofDead Risingapologists. I love its in-game timer. I adore its linear mission structure that is completely at odds with the expansive semi-open world shopping mall in which it takes place. Hell, I even like its severely stripped down Wii port. I firmly believe that Dead Rising is an all-time great, but also understand why folks have (reasonably) cooled on the game’s particular quirks....
Game Pass sparing me pressures of ‘The Backlog’ Open-worldhoverbike ‘n’ climbing gameSableis due to leave PC Game Pass on Sunday, and I only started playing today. I will not finish in time. That’s fine. Honestly, I haven’t finished half the games I’ve bought, and I’ve long since stopped thinking about ‘The Backlog’ as if I ever will. But I might enjoy this one week of exploring a gorgeous desert, climbing and gliding and hoverbiking, and you might too....
There’s more than one way to tidy a cat I’ve long been excited about the possibilities offered by upcoming tidying things up nicely gameA Little To The Left, and back in May this year Alice0 (one of us is RPS’s Mirror Universe Alice, but nobody knows which) finally had a crack at it.

Well, good news chums, EVGA’s RTX 2060 SC Gaming model is available for £212 - and despite costing 12.5% the price of the RTX 4090, it delivers at least 25% of the performance - nice....
The biggest, brawniest, and most bankrupting of Nvidia’s Ada Lovelace graphics cards You probably already knew if you were willing and able to buy the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 after seeing itsprice announcement, so here’s a short version of the following review: Yes, on pure performance it’s thebest graphics cardfor 4K you can get. Yes, DLSS 3 is the real deal. And no, neither of those make the RTX 4090 good value for money, even if it makes a compelling argument for Nvidia’s latest upscaling tech....
A top-tier DisplayHDR 600 gaming monitor for £100 off. The Samsung Odyssey G7 is one of the best gaming monitors in the world - or at least, that’s what I keep telling myself after buying one last year. This is a 32-inch model, offering a 2560x1440 resolution, a 240Hz refresh rate and a DisplayHDR 600 certification that means it actually delivers impactful HDR - a rarity at this price point. Anyway, it’s down to £499 today after a £100 discount, so listen up - here’s why I rate this monitor so highly....
Volition say they’re sorting out more than 200 bugs TheSaints Rowreboot sees its first major update next month, but don’t expect any new stuff in Santo Ileso to play around with. Devs Volition insist this one’s just concentrating on hunting down and squashing the game’s many bugs. As wenotedwhen it was released in August,Saints Rowhas rather a few technical issues. While Volition say this means they’re not at the stage where they can be “talking about roadmaps and expansions”, they are at least releasing a free cosmetic pack this week that includes some boots that look like bananas....

Cheers, SteamDB Games. So many, many games. Each and every week the game pile grows higher, forming the walls of a virtually impenetrable digital structure known only as the ‘backlog’. As the games multiply, thickening the increasingly cell-like walls of our den of entertainment, we can only gaze on and hope it doesn’t one day become our tomb. On that light note, it’s nice to see that SteamDB now has a section showing what games are coming out on Steam every week....
