Tom S, Chris and Marsh lay themselves bare to discuss the Xbox showcase, sample the tasty-tasty-tasty open world comfort food of Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, unspool tubes in Filament and eye-roll at time-gribblies in Close to the Sun.

  • The XBOX XERIEX X is coming and, if anyone notices, they will be able to play some of these forthcoming multiplatform games with improved loading times! Watch the entire e-event here.
  • Or watch individual trailers:…
  • We’re trying very hard to make ASS MEAD happen.
  • H.R. Giger-inspired scary willy dribbler, Scorn.
  • Some sort of space thing: Chorus.
  • Spooky Polish walkabout The Medium.
  • Newly turnbased gangster-with-a-heart-of-gold (and a baseball bat) game Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
  • Potential jankathon, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2. Look you’re being evil AND dancing! The most evil kind of evil! That’s storytelling.
  • Mutant-dino murdersim Second Extinction.
  • Tutu-flower-monster-masher Scarlet Nexus.
  • Meanwhile, in the BezoVerse, Amazon’s hero shooter, Crucible has been further revealed – a bit – and looks faintly like its design was led by metrics. But we’ll find out on 20th May.
  • They’re also making New World. An MMO. In 2020!
  • Open world comfort food in the form of tasty, tasty, tasty orc-chunker Middle Earth: Shadow of War, Aegean murder holiday Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, pants-purloining day-tripper Hitman 2 and replica-lightsaber-lust-inducer Jedi: Fallen Order.
  • Unfurl your ass-tube to solve puzzles in Filament.
  • Jazz is still allowed, not sure about the rest: Close to the Sun.

  • As Warhammer as Warhammer gets: The Horus Heresy books. Also recommended: Dan Abnett’s and Gaunt’s Ghosts series, and Aaron Dembski-Bowden’s novels, The Talon of Horus and Spear of the Emperor. We’ve heard good things about The Beast Arises, too.
  • My shirt’s already off so I’ve got nowhere else to go.
