The Revolutionary Watermelon came out of the Watermelon Game Jam I covered a few months ago. Unlike the other games that came out of that joke, however, this one actually uses a watermelon as a controller.

The world record for beating Prey is now 6:59 without load times, making Arkane Studios' sci-fi thriller one of the shortest games of the year.

Over the weekend I picked up Nex Machina, and hot damn is this game good.

The other day I noticed something: iStock has a lot of images of people looking ridiculous. Here are some of my all-time favourites.

I mean, it's understandable — it is literally impossible to look good wearing VR.

But there's levels to this shit...

You've come off the back of a game that's sold over two million copies, so you must be doing something correct. Sweet, you can do it again, right? Yes, that could happen... or, your next project could sell a pittance in comparison. Such is the case with Introversion, the studio behind Early Access poster-child Prison Architect and its less, less, less, less successful followup, Scanner Sombre.

If you thought Paradox's grand strategy game Stellaris sounded very Star Trekky with its big alien alliances and deep space exploration, you are not alone.

Primal battles in Final Fantasy XIV are massive spectacles that pit a group of players against powerful creatures that usually show up in the series as summons. Stormblood's first primal, Susano, gets more massive than most, but a well-coordinated group can take him down pretty easy.

Evader is a twin stick arcade game full of bursty voxel explosions and a trippy techno beat. There aren't any bullets to fire — instead, players blow up baddies with two dots connected by a laser beam. It's challenging and a lot of fun, which makes it a perfect Indie Pick.

In 2003, when Second Life launched, all it took was a few customisation bars and the promise of infinite possibility to get users hooked on the idea of a virtual reality. Now, in 2017, our standards are a bit higher. "Immersion" isn't as easy to sell with a microphone, an avatar and some content creation software. Sansar, made by Second Life creator Linden Lab, is striving to meet 2017's standards — even if it may be getting ahead of itself.

E3 was full of massive AAA titles such as God of War, Assassin's Creed and Call of Duty. But the one game that's stuck in my mind the most is Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. It's half brawler, half farming sim — it's a weird combination, but I can't stop thinking about it.

Despite evidence to the contrary, a mechanical gaming keyboard doesn't need to have bright glowing LED lighting. Cooler Master's MasterKeys L PBT favours style over substance, losing the light show and adding some lovely thick keycaps to create an excellent sub $US100 ($132) keyboard.

So Steam's latest summer sale has kicked off. Hooray - there's plenty of games going for cheap again. But there are discounts, and then there are discounts. So to help you out with your purchases, here's my selection of games that are worthy of your time. 10 games, to be precise.

One of the coolest new features introduced in Final Fantasy 14's Stormblood expansion is the ability to swim and dive, exploring exotic underwater locales. Anyone can tread water, but to go deep you have to talk to some turtles.

Loot boxes are bullshit. Overwatch's are about to become a bit less bullshit.

Homeworld, a space strategy game that is almost perfect, was just the first of three releases in the series around the turn of the millennium. The first two games have been remastered and re-released for a while now, but the third and I think best — Homeworld: Cataclysm — has long been assumed lost. Until now.

It is time once again for the annual ritual of buying PC games you're never going to play — welcome to the 2017 Steam summer sale.

Were you looking forward to saving some money? I'm sorry. Now isn't the time to do that - and that's because the next Steam sale is kicking off tomorrow morning.

At E3, I got to play multiple rounds of Call of Duty: WWII's multiplayer. While the core experience feels similar to previous games, a focus on presentation and a new story-based mode made things much more interesting than recent entries in the series.

Launched today in Europe and North America, Master X Master (MXM) is an free-to-play PC action MOBA featuring WASD movement and a tag system that lets players bring their choice of two NCsoft all-star champions (Masters) into the arena at once, swapping them out on the fly.
