Why bother seeing the woods, when you can check out all these cool trees WithCrusader Kings IIIfinally having invaded the console market - presumably, as a result of a club-footed Belgian mystic spending months fabricating a claim to it - now seems a fine moment to step back and see how the game looks, eighteen months into its reign on PC. The answer, with almost embarrassing simplicity, is: “great”. When it comes to bigstrategy games(or, indeed, big strategy-RPG hybrids such as CK3), it’s generally a lot easier to give a verdict on how they play at launch, than it is to make any sort of informed guess as to how well their initial shine will hold up over time....

More like Aberchore It all started going wrong when I died taking on the old McDuckitt job. InAbermore, you play as a thief making a name for themselves in its titular city. Every day you wake up, leave your apartment and hit the streets, chatting to the locals, picking up a bit of info, even gambling a bit. The folks you meet are from the shadier side of society and they’ll hire you for jobs....

It removed building entirely, and that was around nine days ago. Now there’s a new update which renames Fortnite’s main mode to “Zero Build”, suggesting the change might stick around for a while. “Zero Build is a pure test of weapon, item, and traversal ability,” says Epic’spost about today’s patch....

Save you from squinting at your phone I think the first mobile game I ever bought wasGame Dev Story, Kairosoft’s smash-hit lightweight management game about running a video game studio. I think the second mobile game I bought was probably one of its follow-ups, too. So I’m feeling all sorts of nostalgic as I see Game Dev Story and four other vintage Kairosoft manage ‘em ups have arrived on Steam....

New 5.5GHz chip won’t give AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D room to breathe There sure are a lot of “world’s fastest” gaming CPUs around these days. Just two weeks after AMD confirmed a date and price for their own champion, theRyzen 7 5800X3D, Intel have formally unveiled the Core i9-12900KS: a new addition to the 12th Gen Alder Lake lineup that promises superlative performance and up to 5.5GHz clock speeds. That’s all less than five months since the launch of the originalIntel Core i9-12900K, which as far as I can tell actually is thebest CPU for gamingright now in pure performance terms....

I will never be king I appreciate a good single-serving game idea, and The One Who Pulls Out The Sword Will Be Crowned King is one. Its challenge is simple: pull a sword out of a stone by left-click grabbing it and pulling your mouse upwards. Its catch is devious: with each new player crowned king, the sword gets longer and heavier. Do you have the perseverence to be royal? It’s free to find out....
