No more chess for the chess god Released seven years ago, Warhammer 40,000: Regicide offers a kind of far future murder-chess. Although really that should be “offered”. Earlier today, Regicide’s developers announced on Steam that the game had been taken off sale and its servers closed down. In the brief announcement, developers Hammerfall Publishing say only that they “will be venturing into new and exciting projects in the future.” “For Game Preservation, Offline mode will still work for prior installs,” it adds....

Be a buster or a ghoster I used to think Ghostbusters was a fantasy about having a cool car and a slidey pole in your house. Now that I’m an adult I realise it’s actually a fantasy about having ample free time to hang out with your friends in New York. But Isupposeit’s also about bustin' ghosts, which is whatGhostbusters: Spirits Unleashed’s asymmetric multiplayer replicates. It’s out today. Dan Aykroyd and Ernie Hudson return to voice their original roles, and the story goes that they’re hiring a new team of ghostbusters to pick up the mantle....

Boogie like you’re in the Lands Between In a bizarre turn of events, Bandai Namco will stream a special jazz arrangement featuring select songs and “recognisable melodies” fromElden Ring’s soundtrack. The event will be performed by a group of musicians led by award winner Kenny Garrett and upcomer Takuya Kuroda, so it’s safe to assume the cats willreallybe cookin' out there. Although isElden Ring’s music all that memorable? Elden Ring: A Night In The Lands Between takes place on 3rd December at The Bourbon Room in Los Angeles....

Daylight robbery My initial instinct when playingPayday 2was to be sneaky. If I could creep through banks, jewellery stores, and all the rest without being detected, surely that’d be awesome. Only, the pursuit of that was anything but awesome. It was a gruelling slog of planning and restarts with rarely a sliver of success. So, I chucked my silencer away and donned the biggest suit of armour I could find. Unsurprisingly, the biggest joy in Payday 2 is going loud, and it turns out I’m a big fan of playing stealth games that allow you to skip stealth entirely....

They haven’t been to the Surrey hotspot, but would like to visit Guildford in the UK isn’t a place that you’d expect to feature in games. It’s very much your typical British town, replete with shops, restaurants, and many, many double yellow lines. That’s why it’s pretty astonishing to see a section of Guildford recreated on a distant world in sci-fi exploration simNo Man’s Sky. Why Guildford though? Well, it’s because devs Hello Games are based there....
