This week in PC games: survival horror in a waterlogged city, kaiju chaos in a destructible city, and old school GTA vibes in an isometric insurgency simulator

Videogames. Gosh there are a lot of them. We're not even into the hell month of September – where every major developer besides Rockstar seems to be releasing their big games of the year – and we're looking at a packed week. Below you will find the whittled down pickings that stood out to me, but head over to Steam and you will find ten times more. It's a good time for wishlisting, if nothing else. Read more

'Panic 64' Is A New 3D-Platforming Adventure That Blends Together Sonic & Crash Bandicoot

"Panic Porcupine returns in a next-gen platformer straight out of '98.". Take a dash of Sonic , add a hint of Crash , then throw in some Mario for good measure, and blend it all together; what do you get? Probably a great, big, bloody mess, and a ruined kitchen appliance. But if we were to take things a little less literally, then I'd probably say that is also the easiest way to describe Panic 64 , the newly announced game from Spicy Gyro (not the "bloody mess" part, but the blender analogy that I now realise has been more trouble than it's worth).
