First spotted when James and Liam (RPS in peace) covered the PC Gaming Show 2023, Mullet Mad Jack is a roguelike FPS with a Steam Next Fest demo out right now. And my goodness me, it rules. The retro anime aesthetic is cool, sure, but I particularly love its setup, which forces you to blast through corridors as fast as you possibly can. Yeah, this is extremely a bit of Edders, and it's gone straight on the wishlist.
A little bit more on the setup, then. Mullet Mad Jack is set in a retro-futuristic tower where a hostage is, allegedly, being kept against her will by some robotic billionaires. You're a guy called Jack, you have a mullet, and you've been employed to save the hostage. Doing so means distributing justice in tight corridors as you ascend each floor, with bullets, kicks, dashes, and katanas.
The catch? Your employer has connected your performance to social media likes and a timer that ticks down. On normal difficulty the timer is ten seconds, so if you stand around for too long, you'll just die on the spot. The audience loves killing! So as long as you're killing, you're racking up precious likes and precious time. Seeing as it's a roguelike, if you die, you return to the bottom of the tower but keep any permanent upgrades you've unlocked for future runs.
What this means for the rhythm of the game is wonderful. There is only one speed and it's fast, with lots of details that promote a flow state and keep the pace from growing stale. You'll bound between snaps and pops, as you katana some thug in half, proceed to kick a door open, launch an enemy into a fan with your boot, then stuff a VHS tape into the mouth of a robot so hard his head explodes.
The handling is crisp, and the upgrades you get to choose as you ascend floors seem to amp up nicely. I chose one that added extra time to my metre for crotch shots and another that spawned exploding barrels in convenient spots. It doesn't take itself seriously at all.
You can find Mullet Mad Jack's demo over on its Steam page.

A considerably popular custom LEGO set created by a member of the Subnautica fanbase has recently achieved a milestone of 10,000 supporters on the LEGO IDEAS website, and is now under active review to potentially become an official LEGO set at some point in the future. The build features the iconic Aurora capital ship from the original Subnautica as well as a minifigure version of the game's protagonist, Ryley Robinson.
As with all video game adaptations, there has been some heated discourse surrounding the Borderlands film. Directed by horror icon, Eli Roth, the film struggled through development before finally being slated for release in 2024. Borderlands is based on the widely popular sci-fi first-person shooter of the same name and is admittedly not the easiest property to adapt. The first game is largely considered the weakest, with only a general overarching plot and no emotional character arc. Borderlands 2 is an entirely different matter, and that has a lot to do with the villainy of charismatic dictator, Handsome Jack.
By her own admission, Minecraft’s Danielle Brooks may not be any good at the game, but The Color Purple actor sure has high hopes for the movie adaptation.
A previously PC-only turn-based strategy game, Warhammer 40K: Chaos Gate – Daemonhunters is now available on Xbox and PlayStation consoles. PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and Xbox One owners can now play the Warhammer universe-based adventure for the first time. I’ve spent some time playing it on PC already, so here’s what you’re getting, console players.
Lionsgate Films released the first Borderlands trailer for the upcoming movie adaptation of Gearbox Software’s popular video game franchise. It is set to be released in theaters on August 9, 2024.
Almost three whole years after the movie wrapped filming, the first full trailer for Borderlands is here – and, rather unsurprisingly, it looks like a colorful, chaotic alien-filled riot. Think Mad Max: Fury Road meets Guardians of the Galaxy, but with more explosions and even more attitude...
Nintendo chose the end of its Feb. 21 Partner Showcase to reveal an unexpected sequel to a half-forgotten series of Wii scuba-diving games. It might have seemed an odd choice, but Endless Ocean Luminous brings back a gameplay style — and, more importantly, a pure vibe — that we haven’t seen in nearly 15 years.
I was already on board with Sand Land's beautiful open world, based on the relatively obscure manga from Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama. Cynics might point to Bandai Namco precedent and say Sand Land is on track to be yet another middling adaptation appealing only to hardcore fans, ala Dragon Ball Kakarot, but I personally gravitate to the almost comfortable consistency in the publisher's vibrant worlds and simple but satisfying gameplay.
Ubisoft's newly launched Skull and Bones is not faring well on the review aggregate site Metacritic, where it has received overwhelmingly negative ratings from gamers. Prior to its full release, game testers had already complained about the game.
It’s not very often that a superhero movie is so bad that you agree with all those villains who want superheroes to cease to exist.
