What are we all playing this weekend? Well? Do tell! Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/New York: Harper & Brothers, 1895 It’s a balmy Friday while I write this, and I’m thirsty. For every so-called RPS staff member who doesn’t respond to my increasingly angry messages, I will punish them by likening them to a particular alcoholic beverage. It’s a punishment because I know nothing about alcohol, and so my reasoning will be entirely askew, I’m sure....

The RPS Treehouse goes head to head Image credit:Rock Paper Shotgun/Inflexion Games By now you’ll probably have read quite a bit about our preview adventures in Inflexion Games’ upcoming fantasy survival adventure Nightingale - including our slightly raucous attempts to interview CEO Aaryn Flynn while instant KO-ing tree monsters and abusing our supplies of ice bullets.
