Convince a giant robotic head on a stick it's not human in Prove You're Human, the new game from 1000xResist developer
I wouldn’t have thought it would be that hard to convince an AI that it’s not human. Just ask ‘Would you be stupid enough to create a language where ‘Sanction’ can mean both to forbid and approve something?’. If an AI would admit to that then the contrarian is welcome to join the human race. I would think it’s even easier to convince an AI it’s an AI if it is also a giant robotic head on a stick, but Prove You’re Human, the new game from 1000xResist developer Sunset Visitor, suggests this might be harder than I give it…
I got murdered by a ladybug in Neverway, and that cemented it as the only game I care about this year
I’ve lived a thousand virtual lives. I’ve toppled civilizations in Dragon Age; survived a rat-infested France in Plague Tale. I’ve popped heads as Widowmaker in Overwatch, and gritted my teeth through more League of Legends games than I can count. I consider myself to be a pretty competent gamer: I know what makes a powerful build, and I understand the minutiae of min-maxing. Yet, in Neverway, I was killed by a ladybug. Not once, but twice. It was, at least, a simulated ladybug, but then again, perhaps that just adds some salt to the wound. Once upon a time, I…
Rust 2, alleged free-to-play sequel to one of the biggest survival games of all time, appears in odd Steam teaser suspected to be from developer Facepunch: "You saw nothing"
A Steam listing making the rounds online suggests Rust 2 is a real and free-to-play sequel to Rust, but the whole thing reeks of a Reddit troll campaign that could easily be a big ol’ farce.”RUST 2 IS REAL?!” reads an excited post from Reddit user Freeqncy, who, as rightfully paranoid Rust fans spotted, made their Reddit account today. The post includes a screenshot for the unlisted Steam page for Rust 2, which you can view for yourself here. The only meaningful detail on the incomplete page is perhaps the listed genre: “Free To Play”. Freeqncy followed up with a…
Over the Hill looks like SnowRunner's cosy off-roading cousin, and its new trailer shows off muddy motoring in Algeria ahead of release later this year
I’ve really dug Funselektor’s minimalistic and relaxed vibe-heavy arcade racers over the past few years. Absolute Drift’s brill, Art Of Rally’s great, and I also liked retro F1 management sim Golden Lap. Their latest work in collaboration with Strelka Games – due out this year – is off-roader Over the Hill, a SnowRunnery terrain-treverser for people who want more of a driving dreamy sojourn than they do a driving Dark Souls, and they’ve just shown off a look at its version of Algeria.
You won’t be playing much bingo without credits, that’s for sure. Even if you’ve exhausted your usual freebies in Bingo Blitz through login rewards and premium subscriptions, the secret to playing another round is through our Bingo Blitz free credits links list. Snagging free credits can sometimes be the only way to play an extra round or two. The higher you climb the ladder, the more credits it costs. The rewards on offer if you win increase as well, of course, but you can’t win anything if you don’t have the credits to start. New credit links drop every single…

New A24 horror Backrooms unveils creepy commercial, and you can ring the number for levelled-up scares
A24 has unveiled a creepy new teaser for upcoming horror movie Backrooms, and it’ll make you never want to watch TV again.Well, to be fair, the ad itself isn’t all that scary; as it sees Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character Clark dress up as a pirate to promote a store called Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire. What’s eerie, though, is that if you ring ‘(408)-357-2875’, the phone number featured in the spot, you’ll find yourself listening to a bunch of static noises and a weird voice telling you that the receiver is based in California. Check out the clip below…A COMMERCIAL FOR CAP’N…
Even the cosiest of cosy games can have melancholy openings. In Stardew Valley, for instance, your elderly grandfather passes away, bequeathing you his rundown farm. In Moonglow Bay, you set about restoring a town after your partner is lost at sea. And in Willowbrooke Post you take over the family mailroom after your parents’ sudden, unexplained departure. Still, Crop, the new farming game from 11 Bit Studios and Carbonara Games might take first place, considering you turn up at your new farm stripped naked and in the boot of a car.

Ex-Nintendo marketing lead believes Illumination used Fox McCloud in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as an "IP landgrab" after letting Zelda slip through its fingers
A former Nintendo of America marketing lead has a “cynical theory” about why Fox McCloud appears in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.Kit Ellis, Nintendo of America’s former director of social media marketing and original content, appeared on a Mario movie sequel spoilercast with Krysta Yang, Nintendo of America’s former senior manager of creator relations and original content.In an excerpt, which you can see below, Ellis reckons that Illumination may have pitched the idea of the Star Fox hero showing up in The Super Mario Galaxy Movie as a way to call dibs on the (previously dormant) franchise in case of…
