A road movie told in multiple border crossings and a narrative game to remember. Not America, but Petria. Not now, but 1996, a world of cassette tapes to collect, and a place where a story of politics and the masses, and multiple moving parts, can unfold without the awkward intervention of social media. Highways and motels and fast-food joints and cable TV stars. Road 96 review Publisher: Digixart, Plug In Digital Developer: Digixart Platform: Played on PC Availability: Out now on PC and Switch And yet, this imperfect world showed me at least one perfect place.

In a stunning turn of events EA has begun reprinting Skate 3, a game that's four years old.
Why resurrect the somewhat dated skateboarding game as we transition into the next gen in 2014, you ask? Because popular YouTube personalities have given EA Black Box's skateboarding sim something of a resurgence.
According to MCV, UK retailer Game realised there was more demand than supply for Skate 3, so it requested that EA start printing more.

Watch Dogs: Legion approaches things a little differently than most open-world games - putting you in the shoes of various operatives instead of one lead character.
These operatives - recruited during the course of the story or by profiling pretty much any passer-by in the game - can be injured or arrested if you come out of a firefight poorly
This page explains what happens when you get captured or lose all your health - assuming you're not playing in permadeath mode, where you will lose operatives forever when they die.

The Games Rating Authority has explained why Star Wars Battlefront has received a PEGI 16 rating, specifically citing the violence enacted by playable characters Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. The rating came as a surprise given how the Star Wars films from which Battlefront draws its inspiration from have typically carried softer classifications - the original trilogy all carried a U rating from the BBFC in the UK, and it was only the darker tone of the prequels that saw Attack of the Clones get a PG while Revenge of the Sith received a 12.

Developer RageSquid's extreme downhill biking game Descenders is now available on Xbox Series X/S, bringing with it a free next-gen enhancements update for all Xbox One owners that introduces a 120fps mode, PC cross-play, and more.
Descenders, if you're unfamiliar, serves up an exhilarating freeriding experience as players - either solo or competitively - race, trick, and flip their way across a procedurally generated world. It was warmly received at launch, but really made its mark - and found a significant audience - once it released on Xbox Game Pass.

The question of "will Total War: Rome 2 run on my computer?" has been answered - the system specs have been released.
Creative Assembly's committment to keeping the base requirements the same for Rome 2 as they were for Shogun 2 means a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and an oldish graphics card will see you through, although not in high resolutions.
Oh, and even Windows XP is supported.
