Little Alchemy 2: How to Make Time

Ironwood Studios’ Pacific Drive is a road trip game about taking a drive through a disintegrating, irradiated reality; it’s as if American Truck Simulator was set in a lonely, survivalist version of Fallout. Transported — either accidentally or on purpose, it’s not clear — into the Olympic Exclusion Zone somewhere among the wooded slopes of the Pacific Northwest, the nameless player character must pilot a dilapidated station wagon deeper into this territory, where gravity and matter obey their own rules.

Viewers of are wondering are in the series and when each new episode comes out. This British crime drama series, based on Caroline Graham’s Chief Inspector Barnaby book series, was originally adapted by Anthony Horowitz.

As you may have guessed, however, there’s plenty more in the pipeline as well- some of which we’ll be hearing about in the coming months.

There is one major change in ’s Gen 10 open-world games that could make the titles even better, whenever they arrive. Currently, the classic Nintendo franchise is in the early stages of Gen 9, with the release of inaugurating the current Generation in November 2022. The core games completed their first anniversary and have seen the release of two expansions via the DLC pack. At the moment, it is unknown when Gen 10 games will arrive, though predictions point toward late 2025 – and Nintendo has yet to release the rumored Gen 5 remakes before Gen 10 arrives.

Fishing. It’s not exactly Metal, is it? Tranquil lakes, drifting boats, comfy chairs, and ‘fish fear me’ hats don’t really vibe with the dark aesthetic.

Revealed during last week's Geoffening, Exodus is the first game from Archetype Entertainment, a new studio that includes former members of BioWare and Naughty Dog.

Whether or not MachineGames and Bethesda’s Indiana Jones title would be a multiplatform release was a frequently asked question (to say the very least) for months following its launch. Ordinarily, you would take that for granted for a game carrying a major IP’s license, but this is, of course, being developed by a first party Xbox studio. Earlier this year, however, it was confirmed that Indiana Jones will indeed be skipping PlayStation and releasing only for Xbox and PC, and according to Disney – parent company of Lucasfilm and owner of the Indiana Jones IP – that makes “financial and strategic sense” for the game.

Another weekend means another batch of streaming recommendations, and there's plenty of variety to choose from this week. Julia Roberts, Ethan Hawke, and Mahershala Ali star in new Netflix thriller Leave the World Behind, while Todd Haynes' May December, which is already generating Oscar buzz for actor Charles Melton, has made its way to the UK via Sky Cinema.
