Brinkmanship doesn’t get explored all that much in games. Precipice is almost certainly derived from Balance of Power, a political strategy simulation from 1985 about the Cold War powers and their winner-armageddons-all staring contest.

Fans of action-heavy Metroidvanias should keep an eye on the newly-announced Souldiers. No, that’s not a misspelling but rather a clue as to what sort of game you’re in for.

Cyberpunk and Witcher crew CD Projekt have acquired The Molasses Flood, the American studio behind post-apocalyptic raft ride The Flame In The Flood and base-building game Drake Hollow. Huh!

Into The Pit is a fast-paced roguelike shooter with hints of Doom, and excellent hands that shoot magical bullets. It’s not the first occult-themed game to turn hands into guns (and I sure hope it won’t be the last), but is inspired by one. I spoke to Into The Pit’s creator, Tom Betts, who told

Dungeons in Destiny 2 will have a different delivery method with the upcoming expansion, The Witch Queen.

Yesterday, Microsoft’s Xbox Game Studios Publishing Twitter account offered what sure sounded like tantalising hints that Monday would bring big news on the mysterious upcoming new Fable game.

I’m constantly in awe of the wild tricks that speedrunners discover in just about any game they set their collective minds to. It’s always a treat to hear developers being equally astounded though, and Valve’s developers are no exception.
