I am forever looking for a game to replace Transport Tycoon (or OpenTTD) in my affections. I know there are several railway management sims kicking around Steam, but I haven’t found the one that does it for me yet. Could it be Railroad Corporation 2? It’s a train tycoon game in which you lay tracks through the early 20th century, and it’s launching in Early Access on September 9th.
About three years ago, Meta caused some profound head tilts when it revealed that it was going to try to do a VR remake of Grand Theft Auto San Andreas. Unfortunately, the project is not coming anytime soon, as Meta has officially confirmed that it has been put “on hold indefinitely.”
A Meta spokesperson confirmed to IGN via email that the game has been put “on hold indefinitely.” Additionally, the official Meta Quest VR YouTube account responded after users commented on a trailer for an upcoming Meta Quest game, Behemoth, developed by Skydance Games. “GTA: San Andreas is on hold indefinitely while we both focus on other projects,” Meta Quest VR’s official YouTube account confirmed in the comments. “We look forward to working with our friends at Rockstar in the future.”
GTA San Andreas VR was announced during Facebook Connect in October 2021. No gameplay footage or a release window was shown during the event. In a blog post highlighting games presented at the event, Meta described GTA San Andreas VR as “a project many years in the making.”
GTA San Andreas VR would not be the first time that Meta has provided a VR remake to a game, as the company previously worked with Armature Studio and Capcom to bring the original Resident Evil 4 to Meta Quest headsets. Additionally, GTA San Andreas VR would have been the second VR project Rockstar Games has worked on following L.A. Noire: The VR Case Files, which was initially released in 2017 for the HTC Vive, before making its way onto Oculurs Rift headsets and PSVR in 2018 and 2019, respectively.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was originally released in 2004 for the PS2. Set in the early 1990s in the fictional southern California city of San Andreas, players control Carl “CJ” Johnson, who returns to his old neighborhood to investigate the murder of his mother.
GTA San Andreas’ indefinite delay comes as Meta is losing billions of dollars in the VR gaming market. In a new report published by Yahoo Finance earlier this month, the outlet said that the Reality Labs division was burning through money, with $16 billion in losses accrued from the VR-centric division in 2023 alone.

An amalgam of fire and flesh, Hellborn stalks the mountains until provoked into explosive response. Posing an entirely new threat, the Hellborn moves frantically to unleash an unrelenting assault against trespassing Hunters, scorching everything in its considerable reach.
Be warned—the Hellborn is best dispatched quickly, as its raging howls attract the attention of other Hunters across the Gulch, multiplying the threat minute by minute.
With the launch of Hunt: Showdown 1896, we’re unleashing a new event, Scorched Earth.
Hunters are invited to face the fire to earn new equipment, ammo, and weapons, including the 1865 Carbine, the Infantry 73L base rifle with a sniper variant, Bear Traps as a new Tool, and a Crossbow Deadeye scoped variant.

Considered a quintessential dice-rolling RPG by many long-term tabletop gamers, Chip Theory Games’ Too Many Bones is a deeply strategic and difficult fantasy game that can be enjoyed solo or with up to four players. Brimming with flavor and lore, it has players choose a unique Gearloc from the land of Daelore and optimize their builds as they fight through endless daily encounters with baddies, gain progress points, store bones, and ultimately defeat the Tyrant of the current story mission. This game is very dice heavy, with over 100 unique skill dice to attack, defend, and complete encounters with. You even make narrative decisions with them.
A fairly challenging game, Too Many Bones offers a ton of replay value through its unique classes and abilities, mechanical changes, additional Gearlocs, and sheer number of encounters, making checking out the expansions well worth your while.
First released in 2017, the base game includes everything one (or four) players will need to enjoy their first dice-builder RPG. The awesome neoprene character mats that are included help keep track of your Gearloc’s stats and store your dice, and the chips and cards help you through encounters. Setup is relatively simple, as each player will start by choosing their own unique Gearloc to play as and build out. Then daily encounters begin, where you’ll earn progress points for each successful encounter. Earn enough progress points, and the party will face off against the Tyrant associated with that scenario. Defeat the Tyrant to win.
Too Many Bones’ first expandalone*, released in 2018, sees the Gearloc heroes chasing after the dastardly Duster after defeating the original seven Tyrants. This enormous expansion includes new baddies and baddie types, an equally exorbitant amount of dice as the original, new encounters, and two new characters.
*Expandalone here refers to the fact that Undertow is playable straight out of the box without the base game, although adding to it will make for a better experience overall.
The second expandalone came out in 2023 and serves as the conclusion to the Too Many Bones storyline, which features a new cast of Gearlocs as they battle for The Break, an underground cavern that could change the fate of Daelore. Unbreakable also includes two new playable Gearlocs, new baddies and encounters, and a gorgeous double-sided Lava Battle Mat to immerse yourself in.
Not a full expansion like the Undertow and Unbreakable, 40 Days in Daelore adds – you guessed it – 40 new encounters and 15 new baddies to the base Too Many Bones game.
Another smaller expansion that changes mechanics for the Tyrants from the base game as well as Undertow. Includes over 50 new Tyrant and encounter cards.
This one is made to alter the mechanics of Undertow, and includes 40 new encounter cards and 16 baddie chips.
Noticing a pattern? This small expansion is the same concept as 40 Waves in Daelore, but for the Unbreakable expandalone. Neat!
This add-on to the base game brings with it a challenging new twist. Using the Campaign Snapshot Mat, players can now keep track of their campaign progress as they defeat the seven original Tyrants, earning new Boons (or Scars, if they’re defeated!), adding even more replay value.
If you’ve ever wanted to create your own Tyrant, here’s your chance. As they play through a regular game of Too Many Bones, players can now use the Build-a-Tyrant mode to craft their own creature to defeat at the end of the scenario. Additionally, the Nobulous Apprenticeship Program is a brand new game type using components from both the base game and Splice & Dice.
In addition to the traditional expansions, Too Many Bones also offers numerous other playable Gearlocs to add to your collection!
Specializing in ranged attacks and trapping, Ghillie is great for dealing damage from afar and hindering baddies. Compatible with the Ally Pack, which adds six chips for both Ghillie’s pets and Tink’s spiderbots.
The first hand-to-hand rumbler in the game, Static can store his power for a turn and unleash devastating power the next.
Like her namesake implies, Polaris uses the power of magnetism to take down baddies. Using her Trajectory Board, Polaris is extremely versatile.
A unique and mechanically-complex Gearloc, Carcass scavenges the remains of defeated baddies and can turn them into buffs for the party.
Nugget the treasure hunter is a fun Gearloc for players who like risk. Sporting both ranged and melee combat potential, Nugget’s arsenal is great for tactically-minded players.
High risk and high reward, Tink enters the fray with his signature spiderbots, which can help defend the party. Compatible with the Ally Pack, giving his spiderbots their own chips.
Gasket the Hydro-Mech is Too Many Bone’s answer to traditional tank roles, and with his water-based abilities he can even change the layout of the battlefield.
Too Many Bone’s first double-sided Gearloc, Dart starts out calm and collected, but her angered side is a force to be reckoned with. Heavy on the crowd control, Dart is essential to any party.
The game’s first multi-Gearloc character (characters?). Swap between Slank, Gerbil, Flan, and Helix and use their unique stats and abilities to experience a mind-melting challenge unlike the rest.
The base game and its expandalones come with everything you need to play straight out of the box, but sometimes you want to spice up your play space or go full-on immersion.
These goodies aren’t needed to play the game, but who wouldn’t want Too Many Bones’ fantastic art on display?
I’ll be the first to admit that, as board games go, the barrier to entry to get the full Too Many Bones experience is uncompromisingly high, with even the base game being over $100. But over time, you just might get addicted to its strategic RPG gameplay and be craving the new mechanics from the expandalones, or want to try out a different Gearloc’s unique skills with one of the many add-ons available. You’ll definitely be getting your money’s worth.

Activision will soon let players install different parts of Call of Duty games separately to combat colossal file sizes ahead of the release of Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty, with its various evolving modes like Multiplayer and Zombies alongside yearly releases on top of separate games like Warzone, has gotten a bit messy and, dare we say, chunky in recent years. Black Ops 6 gained attention when players thought it required around 300GB of download space to install, and while this turned out not to be true, it created such a reaction because it was somewhat believable.
File sizes for the various games can reach well above 100GB, a significant portion of some consoles’ hard drives, but Activision is now determined to quell this issue.
Changes will be rolled out in a number of updates in the coming months, in anticipation of Black Ops 6’s launch on October 25, 2024. They aim to offer a streamlined interface, direct access to games, more control of downloads, and expanded streaming technology to reduce file sizes.
“These changes will be rolled out in phases as a series of downloads,” Activision said. “After these larger initial updates, future Call of Duty downloads will decrease in size and existing files will take up less space on your device. As a thanks for your patience, we’re gifting all players with in-game consumables, which will be delivered when you first log into Call of Duty after the Season 5 Reloaded update.”
Activision confirmed the immediate effect of these changes: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be a smaller download than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III at launch.
The first big update arrives August 21 and will pave the way for these larger changes, headlined by the separation of Call of Duty: Warzone and the mainline games. “To give players more control over what they’re downloading, we are decoupling the download of Call of Duty: Warzone from other titles,” Activision said.
“When you purchase an annual title, you will only download the files for that game by default. On the free to play side, players can opt-in to get Call of Duty: Warzone when they’re downloading a new annual title or simply download it separately at any point in time.”
Subsequent updates will arrive August 30, in mid October, on October 25 when Black Ops 6 launches, and alongside that game’s Season 1 update, whenever it may be.
Not trying to hide that this will be an awkward, somewhat confusing, and perhaps tedious time for players, Activision is giving away a pack of Battle Token Tier Skips and 2XP tokens from the beginning of Season 5 Reloaded.
Full details can be found on the Call of Duty blog.
Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, 2024. Other multiplayer mode will be available to try a bit earlier though, thanks to an early access period beginning in late August. An invite only trial takes place on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, and PC from August 30 to September 4, while an open beta takes place September 6 to September 9.

Space 4X strategy game Stellaris launched in 2016, but Paradox can’t stop adding to the universe. Last time I checked in, it was school trips to other dimensions. Now, it’s Cosmic Storms. Due for release alongside the Stellaris 3.13 Vela update on September 10th, these are a paid “mechanical expansion” (priced at a rather chunky £11, $13 or €13, and available as part of the current season pass) that builds upon the game’s existing Space Storms, “providing a deeper experience with strategically meaningful gameplay and beautiful upgraded visuals”. Wash that down with new civics, precursor narratives, anomalies, archaeology sites, techs, edicts, a new Ascension perk, and new galactic community resolutions.
“They really want to fix it”.
Collecting trading cards, especially vintage cards, has gotten considerably dicier — seemingly overnight.
Over the past month, multiple people have come forward to demonstrate how various X-ray technologies can reliably see inside unopened trading card products. The concept of X-raying packs has been rumored for as long as X-rays and trading cards have existed at the same time, yet most believed the idea apocryphal, or at least impractical. Today, you can literally pay someone to do it for you.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes a grand return to the series’ beloved Round-Based Zombies mode with two brand-new maps at launch, and we’ve been learning a lot about what’s in store for our latest bout with the undead.
Ahead of a live gameplay reveal of the upcoming Liberty Falls map at the Call of Duty NEXT event on August 28, the Black Ops 6 team has been teasing us with new information in Intel Drop videos over the past week for their other Zombies map coming at launch: Terminus, telling us more about the story, setting, and systems of the highly anticipated new Zombies experience. To find out everything we’ve learned so far, read on:
Set in 1991, five years after the events of Black Ops Cold War’s own Zombies mode, Black Ops 6’s Zombies campaign begins with a prison breakout – previous heroes Weaver, Dr. Gray, and Carver form an uneasy alliance with new character Maya (who’s on a desperate hunt for her missing brother, and has allied with the villainous Dr. William Peck) and set out to escape the combined jail/research outpost, Terminus Island. Along the way, they’ll discover a lot more about the horrifying work that’s gone into creating this outbreak.
It’s not just a new story for Zombies, but includes new ways of telling that story. While the mode will still allow you to play as any Operator, playing as the four members of the dedicated Zombies crew will open up new in-game dialogue interactions, deepening the plot and revealing more about each character as you play.
A remote island in the Philippine Sea, Terminus could have been a tropical paradise – if it hadn’t been used as clandestine location to house prisoners and use them for unethical science experiments. On one of the biggest maps ever made for Round-Based Zombies, players will begin their time on Terminus Island during an outbreak – it’s a chaotic, ruined location, stuffed with the shambling corpses of scientists, security guards, and experiment victims alike.
The team has gone all out to make this feel like a living (or unliving) location, with set pieces built across the island – from testing areas where zombies will break out of their chambers to attack, to seeing the evolutionary cycle of the zombies themselves. Players will even face off against the Amalgam, a grotesque mass of combined body parts that’ll provide a stern challenge.
The team also wanted to make use of the whole island; from the prison, to its jungles, to the beach, to the sea – you can go just about anywhere.
You might be fighting against the odds in Terminus, but there are some new ways of evening those odds to find. Most notably, the new Beamsmasher Wonder Weapon offers a very fun way of thinning the hordes you come across. With three attacks to use (a devastating sonic beam attack, a wave-based secondary that slows enemies and has them take extra damage, and a shockwave effect when reloading after expending your ammo) it’s a versatile way to get through the horrors of the island.
A more passive way of surviving is the Tentacle Trap, which is placed over doorways. When activated, the Trap will scoop up any passing zombies with, well, tentacles, reducing them to a far less threatening pile of gore.
Terminus also sees the first ever drivable vehicle introduced in Round-Based Zombies, letting you commandeer a Tactical Raft and zip from island to island – but beware, the open sea might be even more dangerous than the land…
As you’d expect, the new Zombies experience makes some key improvements to the winning formula fans are already familiar with. Augments are a major addition, allowing you to upgrade your Perks, Ammo Mods, and Field Upgrades in different ways. Augments come in Major and Minor forms, and you’re able to use one of each per item. A Minor Augment might offer a stat buff to an existing ability, like a more powerful Napalm Burst, while a Major Augment can drastically change how you play. With a Major Augment, you might be able to summon a set of damaging orbs that surround you and damage enemies that get too close.
GobbleGums make a return after last appearing in Black Ops III – each one a consumable item that offers gameplay changes and upgrades. Ahead of a match, you’ll be able to choose from a set of five GobbleGums and, once you find a GobbleGum machine in your match, it will dispense one of your chosen Gums, to be used whenever you like. The effects here can be huge – whole-team revives, temporary unlimited ammo, or unlocking every Perk at once, just as a few examples.
Weapon Builds also help you customize your Zombies experience. Before you enter a round, you can create your ideal build of weapon, including Blueprints, attachments, and more, before specifically designating it a Zombie Build. When in a game of Zombies, if you find that weapon at a Wallbuy or Mystery Box, it will be your build of that weapon you receive.
Black Ops 6 also brings some improvements that fans have been asking for. Several HUD Presets will allow players to tweak their onscreen experience – you could remove the mini-map if you prefer to play without it, change the location of your health bar, and generally offer exactly the information you need, where you need it. Enemy damage numbers and health bars can even be toggled as global settings in Zombies on day one.
In a major change for solo Zombies players, you’ll also now be able to save and quit your match, meaning you can take a break from a high-round all-nighter and continue the next day, rather than having to commit yourself to a multi-hour session in one go.
Terminus may be the starting point for this instalment’s Zombies story, but Black Ops 6 will launch with two Zombies maps – Liberty Falls is the next step. Set almost simultaneously with the events in Terminus, Liberty Falls is a small West Virginian town that becomes the epicenter of a new zombie outbreak. But you’ll have to wait to learn more about that, when the map gets a full reveal at Call of Duty NEXT on August 28…

Ready your gear, check your ammo count and prepare to head Into The Radius on PlayStation VR2 on September 19. We at CM Games are immensely proud to be bringing our hit VR survival shooter to the PlayStation platform for the first time ever.
We believe VR is a powerful medium that allows you to immerse yourself further into the gaming experience. And, like many of you, we want deep experiences with rich gameplay, intense action, and smart interactions that get the best out of VR. Our goal with Into The Radius was to deliver exactly that kind of experience.
But, wait, what is Into The Radius? We’re glad you asked!
Into The Radius is a grueling, hardcore VR survival shooter set in a mysterious, supernatural wasteland known as the Pechorsk Anomaly. This desolate, surreal landscape is filled with mysterious and deadly anomalies. To explore its mysteries and return home with loot, players must carefully manage their inventory, and use their tactical skill and situational awareness to overcome, outsmart or outrun various dangers in the Radius.
Besides using a variety of weapons with realistic handling, different ammo, attachments and upgrades, you need to clean and maintain firearms in order to ensure they work well in the field. Neglect this maintenance and you’ll be putting yourself at risk, so make sure to check in on their status between missions.
Physical interactions with items are also core to the Into The Radius experience. We’ve gone to great lengths to make players feel like they’re really stepping into the harrowing world we’ve created. You’ll interact with a paper map and compass, audio cassettes and food as if you were really using them in the physical world. Never has survival gameplay felt so real!
The PS VR2 version of the game will feature the entire original experience with 20+ hours of gameplay, but we’re also working hard to make sure this edition really reaches its full potential. That means a smooth, native 90FPS experience that uses the power of the PS5 console, combined with eye-tracked foveated rendering, to get the best balance of performance and visual fidelity.
It also means we’re utilizing many of the great features unique to PS VR2. Squeeze the adaptive triggers on the Sense controllers for dynamic feedback when firing weapons, and feel the impact of enemy attacks with headset haptics. These are features never before seen in our game, and we’re really excited to see how players react to the added immersion they provide.
You can also immerse yourself deeper into the world of Into The Radius with mesmerizing 3D Audio that truly roots you in wasteland. Never before has the Pechorsk Anomaly sounded so eerily convincing!
When all combined together, these features make for one of our favorite versions of our game, and a powerfully immersive way to explore the wasteland. In fact, it’s been a dream of ours to bring Into The Radius to PlayStation for many years, having worked on the project for over five years now!
We’re confident that we’ve taken our time and done this version justice. For those of you that have been following our progress, rest assured it’ll be worth the wait!
There’s more to share about this version of the game but, rest assured, you’re not going to have to wait too long. Into The Radius reaches PS VR2 on September 19, and you can pre-order now to save 10% on the full price ahead of launch. We’ll see you in the wasteland!
