Anyway, there’s a new entry in the genre of somewhat violent speculative sports games, and it’s called Laser League. Laser League is being made by Roll7, who you may know from the OlliOlli skateboarding games or their surreal side-scrolling shooter Not A Hero.

We are talking Ethernet cables here, and they offer higher, and more consistent throughput, with less interference, the higher in category you go. Just a reminder that as you plan out your network, the maximum distance for an Ethernet cable is 100 meters, which is generally not too limiting for most home applications.

If you’ve never heard of Opus Magnum then you should definitely read Bruno’s excellent piece about why it’s impossible, and why that’s okay. It’s a complex puzzle game about alchemy in which you construct mechanisms to turn atoms or molecules into whatever it is you’re trying to produce to advance the story.

The “crowd action game” description from Japanese developer Tha Ltd doesn’t give much away but the moody trailer, above, certainly looks interesting. Then there’s the more abstract stuff: the massive battles with hundreds of humans on screen smacking their way through the crowd.
