One weird demo out of the whole Steam Next Fest has charmed me, and for reasons I rarely get charmed by: It's delightfully janky, strange, referential, and crude. Apocalypse Party is certainly chasing the roguelike action trend, but it's so off-beat and willing to let you craft absurd combos to slaughter fantasy zombies and monsters that I ended up charmed instead of repulsed.

After spending the last two decades working in Hong Kong cinema once more, Woo has returned to these shores with the forthcoming Silent Night — a Christmas John Woo movie, no less.

The Expendables movies were always a list of names before they were anything else. Stallone. Statham. Li. Snipes. Schwarzenegger. Willis. The pileup of those names is why anyone goes to see these movies. 2010’s The Expendables, and all its sequels, were aggressively marketed as assemblages of once-great titans of action cinema, a movie where fans of the VHS era could finally see their heroes sharing a screen together. It didn’t particularly matter what kind of movie they appeared in together, as long as it promised some action.

There’s a very particular style and tone to Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Where open world racing games can generally be divided into two camps – Forza Horizon and games that want to be Forza Horizon – Test Drive Unlimited is the outlier. It’s not a game that will throw expensive cars at you as a reward for clumsily rampaging across town, but rather wants you to care about the cars you own, rendering them with meticulous attention to detail.
