And possess the Zen Marbles I’ve lost countless seconds, minutes, maybe even hours to those TikTok videos showing off ludicrous marble runs. Strangers decorate their houses with mini slopes and sliding paths, they record their marbles rolling down these elaborate courses, and then they’re posted online for strangers like me to mindlessly enjoy. I’ve now spent the last few nights building my own marble runs - not in real life, because I’m too lazy for the cleanup after - in Zen Marbles, afreeplayable prototype, out now....

With no singleplayer campaign Here was the biggest surprise of tonight’sPlayStation Showcase: Bungie are rebootingMarathon, their first-person shooter series that first launched on Apple Macintosh in 1994. You can watch the first trailer below. It sounds as if this reboot isn’t hewing too closely to the original, going by an interview with game director Christopher Barretton the PlayStation blog. “We have a tremendous amount of respect for the original Marathon games and, from the very start, we’ve wanted to honor that, especially the mythology, story, and themes of the world,” says Barrett....

An Akira bike slide homage is mandatory Ghostrunner’smix of wall-running and ninja-slashing made enough of a splash to warrant a sequel.Ghostrunner 2was firstteasedtwo years ago, buttonight’s PlayStation Showcasegave us our first proper look at the follow-up. It has all the slicing, dodging, and parkour that you would expect from a sequel about a cyberpunk ninja, but this time some speedy vehicles join the party too. The first game had our cyber-ninja Jack climbing up the deathtrap of Dharma Tower, all while chopping up enemies on the way....

But no release date yet Capcom announcedDragon’s Dogma 2last year, but they showed the game for the first time tonight during thePlayStation Showcase. Unlike a lot of the games on show, we got a proper look at in-game footage, too. Check it out below. The trailer above doesn’t show many of these things, but it does show magical combat against large fantasy creatures and some fist bumps. There’s a terse post witha few more details about Dragon’s Dogma 2on the PlayStation blog....

Season Of The Deep is on, and I am still off I always knew I would one day be tempted to return toDestiny 2. After three years and several thousands hours of playtime, last February I hit my limit onthe garbage MMO that this phenomenal FPS is trapped insideand uninstalled. But I still adore parts, including its striking sci-fi landscapes. So when I heard the latest season was returning to the alien ocean moon of Titan,one of my favourite spots, I was tempted....

Because at least half of this will probably come to PC at some point, let’s be honest Tonight is Sony’s PlayStation Showcase stream, an event that promises to have plenty of cool news and announcements as only a big, early NotE3 presentation can. While I’m sure the majority of tonight’s announcements won’t have an immediate and direct impact on us over in PC town, it’s well known that Sony have been stepping up their PC game recently, and so a lot of what you see here will probably make the jump eventually, even if it’s several years down the line....

Learn how pity affects your likelihood of pulling your desired character from HSR’s gacha What is the Honkai: Star Rail pity system and how does it work?In a gacha game likeHonkai: Star Rail, the pity system is there to ensure that you eventually get a few of the game’s most desirable characters and weapons, even though the base odds of any given loot box containing even one of them are really very low....

A high-quality non-mechanical option. Logitech make some of the best peripherals in the business, including some of my favourite keyboards. I normally prefer mechanical fare here, but their MX Keys low profile scissor switch keyboard is the exception. It provides a full-size UK layout, pleasant typing experience and long battery life when connected via 2.4GHz wireless or Bluetooth. It’s normally at its £120 RRP, or close to it, but today you can pick it up for £81 - the lowest we’ve seen itsince January....

Back on the grid While the patterns of play are to a great extent the same, though, Miasma Chronicles is a more ambitious project. Addressing criticisms that those earlier games weren’t substantial enough, it’s a broader, denser beast, in which you could easily spend twice as long – 30 hours or so – seeing all the sights and shooting the nasties that populate them. That means there’s a lot more space available for this game to coax out varied strategies and introduce more elements, which is great....

It’s AI and performance-per-watt, not pure FPS, that make the RTX 4060 Ti a worthy mid-range GPU I’m sure you’re all bored of reading about how about how expensive RTX 40 seriesgraphics cardsare; I’m certainly bored of writing about it. Thank the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti for its mercy, then – assuming you can find one at RRP, it’s the first of its family not to plonk a price premium over the last-gen equivalent....

It has revolutionary intent Night In The Woods' developers announced their new game during tonight’sPlayStation Showcase. Much like their previous game,Revenant Hillstars a cat, but despite the similar appearance this one isn’t anthropomorphic. It’s also set in 1919. Watch the first trailer below. Well, it’s still gorgeous, although I’m not sure of much else about the game. Developers The Glory Society did share some more information in a tweet: It’s 1919 in the Lower North and Twigs the cat has a dream....

Konami’s making it, and it’s coming to PC Original story: The remake train keeps blowing through our favourite franchises and it’s reportedly stopping at Big Boss’ doorstep next.
