Obsidian are delisting the original version of The Outer Worlds in favour of the swankier (but pricier) Spacer's Choice edition, and lobbing some grenades at you too

The Outer Worlds. It's a game I haven't thought about much since reviewing The Outer Worlds 2 last year, and it's just gotten its first patch in about three years. That's because Obsidian are planning to delist its base version from storefronts at the end of this month, leaving the more polished Spacer's Choice edition as the definitive Outer Worlds going forwards. They're also adding grenades to it, as an apparent make good aimed at pyromaniacs. Read more

Alas, you and I will never look and sound as good as Rebounder

Reader, I used to worry about being insufficiently cool. I no longer have that albatross around my neck, because no matter how cool I get, I will never be cooler than Rebounder - "a precision platformer set in a four-ink, pulp-print world", created by ATOMIK devs Thirtythree Games, which makes me think of the Mega Drive's awesome Comix Zone.

Yep. May 1st 2002. You came and looked upon the Heart and Akulakahn for the first time. You brought Wraithguard, because the nice guy in the mask and loincloth had need of it. The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind came out. It's now raised a glass of sujamma to salute its 24th anniversary. If you're looking for ways to celebrate, a fresh Morrowind modathon's just kicked off on Nexus Mods, and one of its early entries adds more tax-adjacent missions than the average accountant tackles on a yearly basis

Total War: Warhammer 40,000's map destruction is "the biggest mental shift" for the strategy series in years, but "we've kept it to areas where it it really works"

Total War: Warhammer 40,000's map destruction is "the biggest mental shift" for the strategy series in years, but "we've kept it to areas where it it really works"

I confess, I don't think very hard about cover when I'm playing Total War games – I'm too busy micromanaging cavalry and ensuring all of my ranged unit formations are nice and stretched out, with minimal depth for a cannon ball to travel through. I'll have to address that mentality when playing Total War: Warhammer 40,000, which is not only a strategy game in which you can do an Exterminatus on planets, but also one in which players can destroy many other objects smaller than planets, inc
