Preview: Hands-on with Juliet Starling’s decapitated head

To clarify, it’s notJuliet’sdecapitated head – it’s her boyfriend Nick’s, though it may as well be hers. If you can tie your lover’s head to a chain and swing him around in circles repeatedly pummeling any and all zombies in your path, then it’s probably safe to make that assumption.

SnowRunner continues the MudRunner legacy in the wintery wilds

Boy, you’re gonna carry that weight Spintires: MudRunnerwas a decently enjoyable truck driving simulator about hauling loads through the wilderness. Imbuing each vehicle with a real sense of weight, it was a struggle to get anything done in the game. While lacking in content and replayability, it was an odd curio that was worth a look for the absurdity of its concept. Apparently, the game did well enough, because Focus Home Interactive just announced a sequel this morning....

‘We’ll share more specifics on GT7’s release date when available’ Gran Turismogames arrive precisely when they mean to.
