  • Schedule 1 is my favourite co-op game of the year because it lets me bully my friends into doing the hard parts for me

    3 weeks ago | pcgamer.com | Jake Tucker

    I didn't realise a criminal empire would lead to so many early mornings. Yet, here I am, waking up at 7 am every morning and skateboarding around my regulars, making sure they've got enough stuff to get them through the day.

  • After playing a Den of Wolves heist, I have high hopes for the cyberpunk take on Payday 2

    3 weeks ago | pcgamer.com | Jake Tucker

    Den of Wolves makes me feel like I'm drowning. In my brief hands-on demo of the upcoming sci-fi heist game, I found that when the enemies start to push from every direction, the best you can do is huddle close to your teammates and try to stay alive. We failed near the final hurdle in our first attempt at a Den of Wolves heist, but pulled it out of the bag for the second, extracting with nearly empty weapons, bags full of loot, and a mission well done.

  • When is a sequel not a sequel?

    First, a confession. I haven't sent a newsletter in a couple of weeks, sorry. Frankly, my mental health has been a bit shit and with a trip to Tokyo and then GDC I just needed a bit of time to get my head straight. I wrote a newsletter, but it didn't feel like it hit the quality bar and I didn't have time to polish it up, so I just didn't send it. You might see it live on later, but I'll never tell which one it was. Thanks for your patience, either way.

  • Venerable browser-based MMO Urban Dead is closing this week after a 20-year run, not with a bang but with a whimper

    1 month ago | pcgamer.com | Jake Tucker

    Urban Dead, the browser-based MMO that nearly got me kicked out of college, is shutting down this week after 19 years, 8 months and 11 days. The MMO, which put players in control of either survivors or zombies in the fictionalised city of Malton, played out in real time, with players given one "tick" of activity every 30 minutes.

Wrote about Siege X, which should have just been a full sequel. https://t.co/79tuLcybBy

Lots of excuses around Musk's salute bouncing around but I'm autistic and pretty awkward but I still manage to get through my day without throwing up a fascist salute in front of a crowd of people.
