New week, new PC games, new Maw liveblog, hungering for our headlines! But first, the obligatory paragraph of twaddle: lately I’ve been wondering whether we should put the Maw on a diet. The creature may be indiscriminate, but we news sentinels have noticed that stuffing the Gorging Chutes with certain story flavors can produce… eruptions. Our pataphysical nutritionists have accordingly devised a new regimen of no more than two Bethesda headlines a week, plus at least one game marketed as a “deconstruction”, and double helpings of ray-tracing on Fridays. Will we stick to it? Probably not, but I’m interested to hear what you all consider a healthy weekly diet of news. While you ponder, here’s what’s hitting the digi-shelves in the next five days.
On Monday 10th March, a choice of two cat games: Order 13, in which you fulfill delivery orders in a haunted warehouse while trying to protect your tabby, and Cheaters Cheetah, in which you are a dirty no-good aimbotting wallhacker and so is everybody else. On Tuesday 11th March, it’s time to wipe out and run a teashop in Wanderstop. Too picturesque for you? Then share a cuppa with the rat goblins in highbrow point-and-clicker Centum instead. Wednesday 12th March sees the release of another Inkle mystery in Expelled!, while Thursday 13th March gives us Midnight Murder Club, a multiplayer FPS in which darkness is both enemy and friend. And closing the week on Friday 14th March, we have Travel On, Pigeon – possibly the anti-Untitled Goose Game.
Our latest news liveblog lies below, festering for attention like an oversunned compost heap. Near it lurks our comments thread, like a rake in the grass. By all means spring up and surprise us with new game recommendations. Have a great week.
