Slide into action I’ve learned to loveApex Legends, having bounced off it hard multiple times. The pace is high, the movement tricky, the guns have like, 18 bullets in a clip and it’s really easy to buzz them all into thin-air. But once a few friends held my hand and taught me to be patient and position myself properly, rather than charge into battle at any given opportunity, the game began to click....

The Halloween director seems up for playing the remake, too Horror movie maestro John Carpenter has ‘fessed up that he’s not directing a movie version ofDead Space, but suggests there’s another director attached to a possible big-screen adaptation. Talking toVarietyabout his career ahead of his 75th birthday, Carpenter was asked about rumours he could be helming a non-interactive take on Dead Space. Considering Carpenter hasn’t made a film in 13 years it does seem a bit of a wild idea, but then the director is both a horror auteur and video game fan....
Is it ship shape? Watch on YouTube Bones began as a multiplayer-focused expansion forAssassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, but it’s since morphed into its own optionally-multiplayer open world pirate ‘em up. You can clearly see the Creediness in the footage above, though you’ll only stop off on islands for shopping and exploring rather than stabbing. The devs talk about how every ship you see wil belong to its own faction, with visual clues to tip you off to how much cargo they’re carrying....
Nice piece of recycling if you can manage it When you think of object-gathering gameKatamari Damacythe first things that spring to mind are usually balls, and the rolling thereof. Computer scientist and custom controller kitbashing experimenter Dr Tom Tilley had the same thought and, erm, rolled with it. In a case of life imitating art, Tilley repurposed a trackball he’d made from roll-on deodorant and a soccer ball to play the game with (thanks,Time Extension)....
Nostalgia, coming at ya A huge Valve leak from last weekalready gave us a peekat the Counter-Strike Source map that lead toLeft 4 Dead, but there are plenty more old-school Valve assets where those came from. Fans are currently sorting through 60 gbs of unusedTeam Fortress 2assets, including 20 maps, 40 man vs machine maps, and assorted intriguing models. I do kind of wish we’d got to play the version of TF2 with mechs that resemble three-footed Star Wars Walkers....
Checking in with Stray Bombay after 12 months of early access alien-zapping Happily, following a year of tweaks and additions, The Anacrusis is in a much better place. Even if that place is still turtleneck-deep in extraterrestrial viscera. Ahead of the game’s first anniversary, I poked developers Stray Bombay for a chat on how their early access approach is working out, the impact of long-awaited mod tools, and what’s next for this most stylish of space shooters....
The G435 has 2.4GHz Lightspeed wireless, 2.4GHz and my seal of approval. The Logitech G435 does a lot right, despite its now bargain basement price. The key for me is the physical design - the use of athletic fabrics and lightweight plastics makes for a light and comfortable headset, with the headset weighing just 160 grams - which is reportedly 5.8oz in American measurements. The ski goggle style fabric headband is easily adjustable and stays comfortable for a long time, and is even reversible to show different accent colours....

An Ubisoft Massive dev has reignited the age-old debate by saying they’re “bad for gaming” Achievements are now part and parcel of the video gaming landscape, but that doesn’t mean we have to like them. Indeed, the debate over whether the little reward messages add anything to games or not has been reignited today onTwitterby developers, with Ubisoft Massive’s lead gameplay designer Fredrik Thylander saying they’ve been actively “bad for gaming”....
