F.E.A.R.-inspired Selaco looks better and better in 3 minute gameplay video

Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:20 PM PDT

F.E.A.R. was the kind of shooter where, even after all the enemies were dead, you'd keep firing your gun anyway just to watch the world around you pop, ping and crumble.

What are we all playing this weekend?

Posted: 14 Aug 2021 01:00 AM PDT

Today I got a box of fruit and veg that included cherries, blueberries, red cabbage, a huge marrow and a cucumber of a thoroughly indecent shape. It seems this weekend will bring an unholy salad of some description. But you know what else it will bring? That's right, my friends: video games!
