Burn With Me is a hand-drawn demon card game featuring the artist's own hand - and also, a refreshingly finite alternative to yer Balatro-likes

Burn With Me is a hand-drawn game in which the most prominent non-hand-drawn bit is artist Eva Manuilovich's own right hand. Excellent, no notes. Manuilovich's hand appears on the right throughout each match ritual, dealing cards with a flick of the index finger; when you beat the target score, it gives you a thumbs-up, then reaches languidly towards the card you've won.

Valve have released the Steam Frame's CAD files, but there’s already a cottage industry of DIY wrist straps and lifesize skull stands

Last week, Valve chose their absolute most favourite announcement time – Friday evening, after we all go home – to release the Steam Frame’s CAD files to the world. In short, this lets anyone with a 3D printer or a lathe or an injection moulder (etcetera) take the VR headset’s official blueprints and use them to make cool stuff for it. Non-commercially, of course. Even before this great declassifying, though, it seems some lucky first-wave Frame recipients were already p

Nvidia are abandoning their RTX 5090 graphics cards in order to focus on AI dev friendly RTX Pro ones, leaker claims

Nvidia, AI-obsessives to the point of yassifying basketballers, are shifting production away from their top of the range RTX 5090 consumer graphics cards in favour of RTX Pro ones. That's according to a leaker with a solid track record when it comes to the company. If accurate, the move's the latest instance of a gaming tech firm turning away from regular PC owners to chase the more plentiful cash offered by hawking gear to GenAI developers and datacenters.

You need not hunger for that Zelda Ocarina of Time remake when we already have Indigo, a colossal N64 romhack featuring mushroom forests and bearded Link

The Legend of Zelda series is fond of stories about the inexorable and obliviating passage of time. Somebody should make one about growing so old, stupid and exhausted that you can't distinguish original Zelda games from romhacks of those games. Romhacks like Indigo, a "full game replacement" for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, set 15 years after the events of Majora's Mask. It's got a couple of public demos, and is playable on PC via static recompilation - the mechanical translation of t

Gears of War: E-Day DDoS attacks are to blame for "intermittent disconnects" and "login issues", The Coalition confirm

DDoS attacks suffered by Gears of War: E-Day over the weekend were to blame for players being suddenly disconnected from servers and having trouble logging in, according to devs The Coalition. The chunkily-armoured shooter's online services were targeted, it would seem in a deliberate effort to grind the Gears to a halt. Read more

You don't just paint the map your colour in new WW2 RTS Battleplan, you redraw the frontline with a pencil and hope your troops do the rest

You may have heard that the pen is mightier than the sword, but did you know that the pencil is mightier than the 7th Panzer Division? Here is Battleplan to educate us on the subject. In this WW2 real-time strategy game, you issue orders by drawing on a big pseudo-paper map based on geographical survey data. Then you sit back and watch as thousands of troops, tanks, planes and artillery wotsits strive to transform your arbitrary doodles into actual conquered territory. Read more

Valor Mortis review - this Napoleonic first-person swordfighter is one of the freshest Soulslikes in years

Well, I say "freshest." In its ickily up-close vision of Napoleonic battlefields, swapping the boring old bubonic plague for a fleshy, pustulating necro-blight, Valor Mortis is as horrid and grim as a standard Soulslike rulebook would compel. At the same time, One More Level’s first-person take on campfires and attack-pattern combat does feel like a game striking out on its own, and not just through its unusual choice of perspective. If anything, there are decisions here that might have

This week in PC games: play a human-eating Katamari from outer space, take over a nature reserve in Planet Zoo 2, and battle Napoleonic body horror in Valor Mortis

Edwin came up the ladder to my office last week to remind me that my quarterly Maw Safety Certification was up for renewal. Without an in date health and safety and wild eldritch creature control license, I'm not allowed to remain in the Treehouse and we have to shut down the site. So, today I'm down in the Maw's chamber coaxing it to hock up some globules of games. Edwin's here, of course, though he seems pretty smug to be on the other side of the plexiglass for a change. I wouldn't mind if he
