Who doesn’t love a bit of mindless fun? John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is a squad-based FPS game that tasks you with saving the world from the Sludge God, fighting off hordes of zombies along the way. Saber Interactive’s shooter is similar in a lot of ways to modern CoD Zombies modes. You search a map for powerful gear, head to various objects to interact with terminals, and fight off easy-to-mow-down zombies. Where it differs is in the complexity of its missions. While Zombies tended to give you quite complex objectives, even before diving into Easter Eggs, Toxic Commando always follows…
Donkey Kong Bananza is hardly the only game that allows you to destroy the levels you play in – after all, Minecraft and its many imitators all let you tear their worlds apart and rebuild them piece by piece. But merely destroying blocks wasn’t quite fun enough, as the devs at Nintendo found when they first started prototyping Donkey Kong’s latest adventure. No, for it to be fun, you really need to be destroying something pretty.In a talk at the Game Developers Conference, attended by GamesRadar+, programmer Tatsuya Kurihara explains that, even when the team built the ability for you…
In an unusual show of candour, Valve have spoken out publicly against a lawsuit filed in New York, USA that accuses them of “letting children and adults alike illegally gamble” via loot boxes in Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, and Team Fortress 2. With the caveat that I am no Atticus Finch-esque legal expert or even a Louis Tully-grade bumbler, I find Valve’s rebuttal to be a mixture of whataboutery and tactical mitigation, with a couple of fair points. It basically sidesteps what I think is the lawsuit’s most important argument – that lootbox mechanics are fundamentally manipulative. You can read…
Forget gaming mice optimized to within an inch of their life to be as light and high-performance as possible. Set aside PC controllers sculpted for comfort and equipped with thumbsticks tuned for precision. What you actually want is an awkward-looking gaming mouse that can split into two cramped controllers, and that uses a touch pad instead of a scroll wheel. Right? As utterly proposturous as that premise sounds, that’s exactly what a startup called Pixelpaw Labs is looking to build to compete with the best gaming mouse and best PC controllers in the world. It sounds so utterly barmy that…

Microsoft took this year’s Game Developers Conference as an opportunity to share some early Xbox Project Helix specs – and I do mean early. The list is light on specifics, but it does detail the types of technologies that’ll power the next-gen machine, as Microsoft tries to get a leg up in the next-gen console war.”As part of our multi-year partnership with AMD, we are shaping the future of rendering and simulation,” Xbox’s next-gen VP Jason Ronald says in a new blog. “Project Helix is powered by a custom AMD SoC” – that’s a “system on a chip,” for the…
Many moons ago, Mewgenics developer Edmund McMillen successfully lured the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals into developing a vegan parody version of Super Meat Boy, Team Meat’s gut-slathered 2D platformer. Team Meat responded by triumphantly adding a spoof vegan character to Super Meat Boy, the puny and crater-eyed Tofu Boy. As McMillen himself recently recalled on MechaMusk.com, “I personally trolled the peta forums for months seeding info about this ‘ground breaking new indie game coming out soon that must be stopped!; I never thought they would actually take the bait but it was amazing to see and…
