Hokuto no Ken - or Fist of the North Star as it's known in the West - is Japan's Mad Max 2 derivative; a vision of primal brutality, god-like power, and teeth-rattling violence. Taking on a life of its own since its 1983 genesis, it's outlived its influences by a considerable margin.

It's getting harder and harder to keep on top of all the games hitting early access, but there are some that really stand out. Starbound, for instance, has struck a nerve for anyone jonesing for some procedurally generated 2D thrills. Terraria in space is one way of putting it, but anyone more eloquent than me would likely be able to sell it to you a little more gracefully.

For many, Steam's popular sales make Valve's digital platform the best in the business. Only last night, Valve announced Steam had increased its already impressive active account number to a whopping 75 million - a figure boosted by the growing popularity of sales. It's clear, Steam sales are great - but one developer has a different opinion.

You can't usually tell much about a developer from where they set out their stall, though it's certainly tempting to try. Polyphony's old offices used to overlook Tokyo's Route 246, a stretch of public road the Sony-owned developer would go on to immortalise in its Gran Turismo games, while Turn 10 operates within the watchful gaze of Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington. The location of Assetto Corsa developer Kunos, though, feels like a much more pointed statement of intent: within earshot of the sinewy Autodromo Vallelunga Piero Taruffi some 20 miles south of Rome, it's a place that's drenched in an endearingly Italian brand of octane.

Over the holiday Joe Danger developer Hello Game's Guilford office was flooded with the insurance refusing to cover the natural disaster. This left many concerned that the four-person studio's highly anticipated first-person sci-fi epic No Man's Sky would get delayed. Hello Games has updated its blog to let us know that won't be the case and everything's going to be okay.

Every so often we hear another story of a parent whose kid racked up an unreasonably high bill on their mobile. Like that one kid who bought £1700 worth of bonuses in Pirates vs Ninjas. Of course not all stories of this nature are quite that dramatic. It's usually a few quid there and another there, but it's cumulatively added up to upwards of $32.5m (£19.9m) in reported cases and Apple's going to have to pay it all back following a settlement with the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

The number of active Steam accounts has increased to 75 million, Valve has announced.

Genre hybrid Concursion has a premise so clever, so simple, that's it's a wonder it's not been done before. The indie title takes place across a multiverse where rips in reality cause you to toggle between different game genres and worlds based on where you're positioned. One moment you're playing a 2D sci-fi platformer, but jump into a section of the screen dominated by a fantasy RPG and that becomes your reality for a few centimeters before you pop out into a shmup-based universe.

Just the other day, Camelot Unchained developer City State Entertainment revealed that there will be a playable alpha build of the massively-multiplayer online game for backers in August.
