I really want to start a clock
that tracks every day that has
passed since a new Games
Workshop-based video game
has been released, just so I can
yell RESET THE CLOCK every
time a new take on Warhammer
comes out.
So. Uh... RESET THAT
DAMN CLOCK!
Chaosbane can be best
described as Diablo with a
Warhammer Fantasy skin. It
could also be described as an
isometric take on Vermintide,
as you can play the game
cooperatively with up to four
players. There are four classes
to choose from, a Bloodlust
mechanic that unlocks truly
hyperviolent powers, and
everything you’d expect from
click-to-kill game like this. Note
to self: buy a sturdy mouse.

Sure, the greatest Western-
related news this year is that
the Deadwood movie is finally
coming, but if you prefer to play
cowboys than watch them, Colt
Canyon may float your boat.
In this 2D roguelike you can
play as either a cowboy or girl and
take on a quest for vengeance as
you track down the bandits that
have kidnapped your partner.
Playable solo or in co-op, you can
stab, shoot, and blow up all who
stand in your way, while picking
up new weapons and ammo in
randomised environments built
around handcrafted levels. As
you progress, you can unlock new
characters and starting load outs,
making this game as replayable
as it is fast-paced.

Given Australia’s rather strident
policies when it comes to games
providing in-game benefits to
the use of illegal drugs, the
chances of Weedcraft Inc getting a
classification here are a little slim.
Which just heightens how silly our
drug laws are when compared to
many other country’s changing
outlook on marijuana.
Anyhoo, Weedcraft Inc lets
you run a legal weed selling and
growing business in a Tycoon-style
simulation that offers you a wide
range of challenges. Not only do
you need to cultivate and then sell
the best product, but you need
to navigate changes to the law,
dealing with law enforcement and
politicians, and a range of other
interesting characters. And of course
you’ll need to work out how far you
want to go to succeed... how many
laws do you want to actually break?
