Monday

Pleased new 12 months all. What is the climate like the place you’re? We have got Amber and Yellow warnings in London – I don’t perceive what these phrases imply, however I will add a Sapphire warning for escalating Maw exercise. The creature was fairly full of life over the Xmas weekend, however Graham managed to appease it with posts about gaming-related new 12 months resolutions and, of all issues, the Spike Video Recreation Awards. We are able to anticipate the Maw’s petulance to mount throughout January, a lean month for bulletins and revelations, however there are a number of tasty morsels within the offing – a brand new Prince of Persia and Tekken 8, for example. Fingers crossed we are able to construct up some form of momentum.

Some new recreation releases we’re pointing our telescopes at this week: Skeleton Rise up (4th Jan), a scrappy offbeat RPG with claymation parts during which you’re a skeleton making an attempt to overthrow some mages, and The Night time Is Gray (fifth Jan), a point-and-click journey a few beardy bloke and a bit of woman caught within the woods with some weirdo wolves. For those who like, you may also play a free ingesting recreation I’ve simply invented during which you do a shot for each time I unintentionally write 2023 as an alternative of 2024.
