Monetising full-price games like this isn’t new for Ubisoft (Assassin’s Creed Odyssey sold in-game cash and boosters, for one), but if they keep doing it I’ll keep grumbling. So! With Legion they’re selling ‘WD Credits’ to spend in an in-game microtransaction store. Depending on the size of the bundle you buy, prices for WD Credits range from £0.86 to £0.58 per 100 (classic bit of microtransaction psychology - as is selling them in quantities that don’t match the price of individual items)....

Technically, the WD Black P50 is a bit fancier than its Samsung and Crucial rivals, as it actually supports the even newer USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 standard, rather than just the regular USB 3.2 Gen 2 speed. What’s the difference, I hear you ask? Well, whereas the normal Gen 2 supports up to 10 Gbit/s, Gen 2x2 doubles that to a maximum of 20 Gbit/s. To put that in friendlier, MB/s terms, WD claim the P50 can deliver up to a whopping 1980MB/s, making it twice as fast as current USB 3....

In case that’s not enough to pique your interest, you play as an undead cowboy Ron Perlman. It looks bloody good, and it’s out now. The art is terrific.

And then of course, there’s yer big Hellboy man growlin’ and drawlin’ his way through helldogs, gunmen, and massive stompy grumpers....

Myself, ah, I don’t know about a single favourite but I do very much enjoy the Easter eggs in Battlefield games - even if I don’t much like the series myself. They’ve snuck in surprises like gigantic sharks and finger guns. Always enjoy seeing them. As a certified old person, I do also have a soft spot for Doom II’s final boss, the Icon of Sin. Turn on noclip mode and walk into this giant demonic head, and you’ll find yourself inside with the severed head of former Id Software level designer John Romero (who wasn’t actually the mapper behind this level)....

Today’s launch time announcement says the Steam launch is coming simultaneously worldwide at 04:00 UTC on Tuesday the 18th. That’s 5am for us here in the UK, midnight for East coast Americans, and actually on Monday night as you push farther west. On the Microsoft Store, it’s complicated. There it’s region-locked, launching at different times in different territories and timezones. Basically it’s unlocking at midnight in your local timezone. But because Microsoft couldn’t just say that, the blog post lays out a big long list of territories and times....

It may have taken a long iterative route, but this is becoming a strong sport series even if you’re not a fan of pooting the old dogskin.

At the time of writing, 172k people are playing the free-to-play card game, with a peak today of 255k.

Opened in 2013, Itch.io is my favourite store for interesting, unconventional, and personal indie games. Along with being DRM-free, it supports free games and pay-what-you-want pricing, it lets developers decide how much of a cut the store takes, it’s accepting of mature themes and contents other stores are wary of, and it’s supported great causes like 2020’s astonishing Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality. I also consider it a plus that the store’s managers think NFTs are bad....

Molly - Deep Rock Galactic Pathfinding is AI. When you turn around in a third-person shooter and the jabroni you’re supposed to be escorting to the helicopter is nowhere to be seen, that’s bad AI. When you plant down a beacon in Deep Rock Galactic and Molly, the jingling robo-mule into which you deposit all your gems, comes storming through a tiny gap in the ceiling and calmly waltzes down a cave wall swarming with hostile bugs, that’s good AI....
