An excellent price for a surprisingly solid piece of kit. You might not be that into that side of mouse modding, but I think it does speak to how well Logitech nailed the essentials here, and you can definitely feel it using the mouse in its completely stock form. There’s a lot of love for this mouse out there, and it doesn’t happen by accident! That just about does it, so thanks for joining me once again and I’ll catch you next time!...

Or pay $65 for an even faster card in the US. Plus: cheap 1TB options! Hardware man James recently covered thebest Micro SD cards for the Steam Deck, so we thought you might want to know that a selection of rather giant memory cards have been discounted over at Amazon UK and US today. For UK folks, you can now double your Steam Deck storage (!) for £47, or triple (!...

Delayed indefinitely again, presumably thanks to a magic dagger Remember there was aPrince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remakethat was meant to be coming out in January last year? No? Well, the game’s development team havetaken to Twitterto announce that Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time Remake will be delayed indefinitely, which seems oddly fitting considering the game is about messing with time. It was meant tolaunch this year, but the game’s already beendelayed indefinitelyonce before....

Bloomin' marvellous I’ve never been one for playing aggressively in turn-based tactics games. I will hug and skulk between half and full height walls like nobody’s business, creeping up the map inch by inch lest one of my precious party members accidentally sets off an entire warren of alien nasties by blundering too far ahead or, heaven forbid, one of them gets nicked by a stray bit of shrapnel. To say I’m overprotective is an understatement....

The hunt for the single best thing in video games continues Last week, you decided thatromance is better than de_dust2. I’m a little surprised, considering Dust 2 not only took an early lead but has likely been modded into every game which features romance too. But I accept the decision, and our mission continues. This week, I ask you to pick between a trade-off and something with no negative consequences at all: drawbacks, or a load of lasers....

F-Zero > Wipeout Sure, WipeOut was cool, but F-Zero was my favourite of the classic anti-grav racers. it’s a good thing therefore thatRedout, the modern claimant to the floating throne, feels more like F-Zero to play. Even better that its sequel is coming later this month - May 26th, as per the trailer below. Looks pretty, looks fast. That’s my take based on watching the video, though Ed had more to say when heclimbed inside Redout 2 for a pod race of his own....

“Or game fans” Theatrical 3D platformerBalan Wonderworldreleased last year to dismal reviews, despite familiar names like former Sonic Team head Yuji Naka at the helm. Last week Naka took to Twitter to air his displeasure at Square Enix’s treatment of him and the game, concluding by saying that he believes “Square Enix and Arzest are companies that do not care about games and game fans.” Naka posted the thread of tweets twice, firstin Japaneseand thenagain in English, seemingly by relying on a translation tool such as Google Translate....

Upspin girl, she’s been living in her upspin world Say hello to Feng. Feng is a zealous computers guy with less of an axe to grind and more of a guillotine to set up. He is not my favourite character inCitizen Sleeperbut he is the one who best represents it. In one scene he explains his deep anti-capitalist reasoning to you. Systems should not govern people’s behaviour, he says, the people are what matters....

You wouldn’t believe how some people do their washing! Today I visited a virtual launderette to do my virtual laundry inRoblox, lining up alongside online strangers who were also washing their virtuasmalls. After loading the machine, filling my powder, and carefully selecting then starting my cycle, I watched through the door for 12 minutes as my washing sloshed and spun. And then I watched another players’s washing in disgust. Visiting this laundry simulation has made me realise I have strong opinions on how other people run their imaginary washes....

Like Tetris with stabbing Loot Riveris a tetrogueimo - that is, a mashup of Tetris and Rogue, in my opinion. As a swordwielding pixel adventurer, you slash through proc gen dungeons in which the platform you’re standing on can often be slid around. This lets you manipulate the hordes of monsters trying to kill you. It’s out now. Here’s the launch trailer: I’ve previously wondered aloud about what tactical consequences there are to being able to slide a platform about, and whether they’re interesting enough to sustain a full game....

Now with added boomstick Ageing zombie-ridden survival platformerDying Lightis receiving one final free update to itsHellraidmode on May 5th, Techland have announced, and it will let you take magic items into the city of Harran. Hellraid’s cursed arcade cabinet will sell you wands in its shop and let you carry them back to the main game, usually known more for its face-eating. It’s a shame Dying Light’s protag Kyle Crane isn’t silent or I could’ve role-played this as Sooty....

Prize values suggest $600-$650 for the “Performance” model Hunt victorLa Frite David, per Twitter, shared a screenshot of an Intel confirmation message that listed the approximate retail value (ARV) of their prize bundle. In David’s case this comprises a “Performance” Intel Arc graphics card, some Arc merch and three months of PC Game Pass, with an ARV of $700. Subtracting the value of the Game Pass access leaves $655, so you can probably expect this “Performance” model to land somewhere in the $600-$650 range, depending on how much the miscellaneous merchandise is worth....

He’s read your comments and they made him sad Last month’s news that original creator Ron Gilbert ismaking a new Monkey Islandis the surprise of the year so far. For Gilbert, his involvement has apparently brought a lot of comments, and an expectation that whatever he’s making will line up with comments he’s made over the past twenty years. Not so, says Gilbert. On the subject of his previous comments, he says “None of these are promises or anything I owe anybody....
