DANGER DANGER, you now have 30 minutes till the RPS Monday morning meeting. 30 minutes till Julian asks us what we got up to this weekend, with the deceptively cuddly air of King Lear asking his daughters which of them doth love him most. What can I get written and published inside 30 minutes? Ah, here’s Bungie with thoughts on this weekend’s Marathon reboot “server slam”, a server slam being a playtest that is designed to deliberately overload the online functionality in the hope that this won’t happen come release day on, in this case, 5th March.…

At the heart of Lost Judgment is a moral dilemma that it isn’t afraid to wrangle with – a serial killer who is targeting former school bullies, and specifically ones whose actions led to severe, or in some cases fatal, outcomes for their victims. It doesn’t pull its punches. Yet I spent just as much time soaring around its streets on a skateboard, building competition-level battle robots, and strutting my stuff in a full-scale dance tournament. Somehow, it balances both sides masterfully. The first Judgment is a rip-roaring detective tale in its own right, with a winding mystery at its…

I don’t think 7/10 games get enough appreciation. Sometimes, you just want something that’s not attempting to be a masterpiece, but is just a solid bit of fun to play as you chill out for the evening. If only one game could embody that vibe, it’s Atlas Fallen, an action RPG that feels like it was ripped out of the late 2000s and made for a modern generation of platforms – a bad story doesn’t stop it from being a good time. It’s at the heart of the latest Humble Bundle, and it works out as just $4 when bought…

The creator of Netflix’s original Daredevil series and director of The Cabin in the Woods recently provided an update about the untitled sequel, hinting at where he is in his battle with the machines.“I’m in my writing cave writing,” Goddard explained to Screen Rant. “I don’t know how long I’ll be in that writing cave, but whenever I come out, I’ll have news to share.” As it stands, there’s no confirmation of which cast members…

Zack Snyder has had a lot to say about the universe he never got the chance to finish on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, but one thing he clearly doesn’t regret is finding what many believe to be the greatest Batman in movie history. When talking about his hunt for the Caped Crusader to go up against Henry Cavill’s Superman, Snyder revealed the crude but effective method he applied to see if Ben Affleck was the right man to protect Gotham.“I did a drawing where I took Ben’s face, and I put the cowl on it,” Snyder admitted. “I know…

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Stardew Valley, creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has shown off a bunch of early versions, saying the game never really came together until the last minute.Just over 10 years ago, Stardew Valley launched, and the Harvest Moon-like indie hit did pretty well all things considered, given that it’s now sold over 50 million copies, making it one of the best-selling games ever made (that’s better than any single Call of Duty or Pokemon release has ever done, for context). And its 10-year reign of cozy terror is only seeming to grow as it’s still getting…
