It's no secret there's been some antagonism between Steam and Epic as the latter seeks to establish its own digital storefront.

Nvidia reached new heights in performance with its GP102 processor. AMD had no answer, and RTX duly followed. Two-and-a-half years on from GP102's debut, there is now a powerful Radeon that is indeed competitive - and while it lacks the latest innovations in graphics technology, it is fast, and it has its own unique selling point: 16GB of ultra-fast HBM2 memory.

There's not much to The Stillness of the Wind, a slim, ethereal and wilfully arty survival game that's just launched on Switch, PC and iOS. There's not very much to it at all. You're Talma, an elderly woman who's seen her friends and family slowly depart for the city over time, leaving her alone to tend to a farm shared by a handful of chickens and a couple of wiry goats. It's a small, sparse space, bordered by tatty picket fences that don't do much to keep the encroaching desert out. Beyond those fences, amidst those sands, there's nothing save a few rocks and, after a handful of days, some sprouting mushrooms.

Recently, I watched a rather delightful film called The Bear. I'd not heard of it before until a friend told me how it was a childhood favourite of his. (His film taste is usually worth listening to.) Directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud of Seven Years in Tibet and The Name of the Rose fame, The Bear isn't like most other animal-themed films. It's far more nuanced than it first appears to be. A live action tale (with a mixture of animatronic bears and real ones), it follows the story of an orphaned bear cub in late 19th century British Columbia, as he tries to survive, pitting himself against nature and some rather determined hunters.

What a funny little maelstrom of emotions last night's surprise release of Apex Legends kicked off. Elation! There's a new Respawn game, and it's playable right now! Dejection! It's a free-to-play battle royale hero shooter? Now there's a messy melange of concepts, as if someone in some boardroom somewhere spewed up buzzwords and handed them over as a design doc.
