There were 75 games announced in total, and in order to be somewhat useful, I’ve grouped them roughly by genre. And while you’re here, don’t forget to check out our news and other E3 round-ups to stay up to date with this year’s big video games Christmas. We’ve got round-ups for Microsoft’s Xbox and Bethesda showcase, the Summer Game Fest, Ubisoft Forward, Square Enix’s show, the PC Gaming Show, and Day Of The Devs....

Don’t fret if you didn’t catch the Annapurna Interactive stream today, because we’ve got all the info you need to know right here. Read on! New game announcements You can watch the entire 30 minute presentation above if you wish, but we’ve also rounded up the announcements below, dividing the news into three sections: new games, developer announcements, and an extra bits section where you can find out what platforms Annapurna Interactive’s older games are now available on....

They’ve also given everyone a squeaky chipmunk voice, and sure, why not. It makes getting shoved off a cliff less painful. I like it when my monk leaps through the air with his big stick. As you’d expect, Reddit is packed with tiny warmongers. Here’s a scary beheading: To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

You’re looking to use your Hero Power as much as you can, thanks to all the new Hero Power synergy this deck provides. We’ve added a Secret package too, since it offers a significant amount of coverage for aggressive decks’ weaknesses, as well as some great ways to finish off your opponent. Face Hunter deck list and strategy Here’s the Face Hunter deck we’re using for this point in the Barrens meta....

“Show’s over, building games. It’s time to go home,” our former Alec (RPS in peace) said after playing Factorio in 2016. “Seriously: I can’t think where there is left to go after Factorio.” It really is… a lot. It has the pleasure of slowly teching up and expanding, the satisfaction of automating your processes, then the obsession of optimisation. Destroying a complex system which does work but sloppily so you can build a replacement doing the same job slightly better is such a treat....

Set in post-apocalyptic, raider-occupied Pittsburgh, The Pitt, erm, pits you against those aforementioned raiders and Trog monsters you might remember from the original Fallout 3 add-on. Expeditions are a new game mode for Fallout 76 that are being introduced with The Pitt update. They’re missions you can repeat over and over to bag XP, loot and some legendary items. Bethesda say you can join an Expedition at whatever level you like, but they recommend being at least Level 50 just so you’re not ganked immediately....

Mode 7 announced Ground Shatter’s next game today with the action-packed trailer below. You’ll be a member of Section Eleven, an intelligence branch that aren’t afraid of getting their hands dirty when digital espionage falls short. “As a Section Eleven agent it is your job to find direct solutions to emerging threats…largely by smashing people’s faces into things,” Mode 7 say. The trailer below is quite neat, with flashy action shots highlighting your finishing moves....

That is, until I started playing MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. So far, all the cat people and elves and gnomes I’ve encountered have been - dare I say it - alright. They’ve actually been really quite, well… nice? Final Fantasy XIV sports that “massively-multiplayer” label that suggests other people are a key component, and yet here I am, playing this game solo. I login most evenings, take the reins of my beloved Shadow Hulk (whose run is growing on me) and do some questing....

Frey’s nails are more than just pretty accessories though, since each design has its own effects. They’re a key component of Frey’s gear, and so it’s a good idea to know how best to use them to optimise her loadout. On this page, we’ll go over all the nail designs in Forspoken, along with detailing how to apply them and how to unlock more. List of Forspoken nail designs Below are all the nail art designs we’ve seen so far in Forspoken: There are two sets of pre-order bonus nail designs in Forspoken: “Overclock” (for those who pre-ordered the game on PC) and “Trigger Happy” (for PS5 pre-order owners)....

Galakrond’s Warlock incarnation summons random Demons upon play, upgrading from 1, to 2, and finally to 4. Galakrond, Azeroth’s End also equips you a 5/2 Claw as a weapon, effectively acting as a free Arcanite Reaper as well as those chunky Demons it summons. It’ll be an interesting card to try out, that’s for sure. Galakrond Warlock deck list and strategy Here’s the Galakrond Warlock deck we’re using for the beginning of Descent of Dragons....

Get a 1TB Lexar Play MicroSD card for £110 (was £140) Get a 1TB SanDisk Extreme MicroSD card for £140 (was £220) So - what makes the Lexar Play 1TB worth considering alongside our existing recommendations for the best Steam Deck Micro SD cards? Well, in terms of value the Lexar Play can’t be beat, coming in cheaper than our recommended SanDisk Ultra (£115), while also offering better performance. The Play has an A2 speed rating compared to the Ultra’s A1 rating, meaning the Lexar card is hitting at least 4000 IOPS in random reads and 2000 IOPS in random writes....

The offer applies to all current Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 processors, including the newly released pair of Ryzen 3000XT CPUs, the Ryzen 7 3800XT and the Ryzen 9 3900XT. Alas, the third XT processor launching today, the Ryzen 5 3600XT, isn’t eligible for the gaming bundle, but then again neither is the rest of the Ryzen 5 family, as you can see from the full list of eligible Ryzen processors below:...

So, why is it worth the money? Logitech’s StreamCam is advertised as primarily being for streaming on YouTube and Twitch, but that doesn’t mean its the only purpose. Boasting an impressive 1080p and 60fps, this cam is as close to perfect HD as you can get without strapping a literal DSLR to your monitor. It features AI face tracking for that spot-on framing, and even works well in low light, something us Brits sorely need....

It is, however, a little disconcerting at times, as every now and then I’ll hear an audible ‘squeak’ from its mouse wheel. If my cats didn’t already think this was a new tasty treat to sink their teeth into, they certainly will now. I jest, of course. So far my cats have shown no interest in hungrily making eyes at it when it occasionally lets out a very mouse-like shriek (update: Glorious have confirmed this is a defect of an early production run and the issue has since been rectified), nor have they started to clog up the Model D’s many holes with excess fur or bits of mud from their wet paws....

Googles new studio, located in the Playa Vista neighbourhood of LA, is a mere stone’s throw from Studstill’s old desk at Sony Santa Monica. That team was largely known for developing God Of War, that PlayStation-exclusive series about a bald Greek bloke wot chopped up gods and monsters ’til he had a midlife crisis, moved to Scandinavia, and become a dad in 2018. It’s Stadia’s second in-house development house alongside a Montreal studio formed last October....

There’s a couple of personal favourites I’ve spotted on the main sale page that I need to hold myself back from buying - Disco Elysium’s OST for example has 25% off making it £7.49, and Dead Cells has 50% so it’s down to the very reasonable price of £2.24. Oooh Hollow Knight’s is on sale too! That one’s also 50% off and costs £3.49, and… oops, there goes that money I was trying not to spend....

Granblue Fantasy: Relink is set in the same universe and has the same Final Fantasy vets involved, but it’s a big, splashly 1-4 player action RPG blockbuster, with combat reminiscent of some Platinum Games. You’ll find the latest trailer below. Relink has been a long time coming: it was first shown in 2017, its name was confirmed in 2018, and it was originally due to release last year. It’s now aiming for a 2023 release date....

Now the main highlight from the Grid Legends reveal was a more involved story mode. It has Ncuti Gatwa who played Eric Effiong in Netflix’s Sex Education playing a racing star out to race, baby. There are other grizzled drivers who also want to race, but faster than the others. Yume Tanaka who wants to become the first woman ever to win the championship, and who absolutely has my backing....

Fair warning: don’t watch this trailer if spiders give you the spooks. They turn on the (very good) arachnophobia mode eventually, but only after you’ve already seen the Broodmother in all her eight-legged glory. The Broodmother is the game’s first boss, and she looks like she’ll take a lot to squash. Or maybe you could build a giant glass to trap her under? Wedge a bit of card under there, throw her out in the garden....

Rockstar said in yesterday’s announcement that “the journey through the ever-evolving, shared world of GTA Online will continue on to the new generation with more new updates including additional GTA Online content exclusive to the new consoles and PC.” Which I guess means Xbox One and PS4 are getting cut off but we’re still in. Hey, maybe the fancied-up next-gen versions will have the graphical bells and whistles we’ve had on PC for years....
