The Daily Grind: Will you play Worlds Adrift?
Worlds Adrift is one of those titles that gets more fascinating the more I follow it. Initially I was put off by the open PvP, but the physics-based explanation by developer Bossa Studios makes sense, so I'm fully on board the hype train at this point.
I'm really interested to see how the game's gathering implementation turns out. It departs from the usual...

New video shows off how to get started in Das Tal
If you know nothing else about Das Tal, you know that it's a sprawling open-ended sandbox. (If you didn't know that, well, you know it now, so it's close enough to count.) Playing open-ended games like that can be difficult, though, since it raises the question of where you're supposed to start when you first log in. Never fear,...
