The Caravan SandWitch demo teases a gorgeous exploration-adventure Featuring a van and some sand, no witches yet though Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Dear Villagers The playable area in Caravan SandWitch ’s Steam Next Fest demo isn’t all that big, but within seconds you’re plonked at the rusty wheel of an offroading motorhome and let loose to roam it. It’s a figurative “Go nuts,” and given how much more this narrative-heavy, third-person exploration yarn seemingly has to give, it’s an attitude I’m seriously hoping holds firm throughout the full game....

The Midnight Walk sees you take a hideous ceramic lad on a grim claymated stroll Might want to bring a matchstick Image credit:Fast Travel Games Hey, remember Lost In Random ?

The Sunday Papers Image credit:RPS The Sunday Papers is our weekly roundup of great writing about (mostly) videogames from across the web.

There’s a GPU here for every kind of gaming rig. Image credit:AMD / Nvidia I spent a good chunk of my weekend combing through GPU deals like these. I don’t really need a new graphics card, but seeing prices drop by almost half gets my curiosity going.
