What you could play this weekend
We have once again dragged our nets along the sea floor of videogames to trawl for new releases worth bringing back to port, but for once our catch is bordering on paltry. Perhaps the videogames were simply too small to be caught in our nets, or perhaps the industry's videogame farmers thought it unwise to release alongside the marketing bonanza of Summer Game Fest, which continues over the weekend.
In any case, there are still some interesting new games you could play. Tell us what you are playing in the comments.

Crashout Crew
The latest game from Aggro Crab, fresh from their success as the co-developers of Peak. Crashout Crew has a similar art style and focus on co-op slapstick, but here your and your buddies are fulfilling orders in a warehouse that's really just an escalating series of physics arenas. A little bit Peak, a little bit Overcooked.

The 7th Guest Remake
I never played The 7th Guest, but it was practically a permanent fixture for about a decade of PC gaming magazines. This remake uses volumetric filming techniques to produce FMV with real actors that you can walk around and view from different angles as if they're 3D models, for a spooky first-person explore 'em up with lots of environment puzzles to solve.

Romestead
Rome must be rebuilt, but every night zombie centurions appear and wreck everything. You must therefore split your time between hacking and slashing the undead hordes when it's dark, and gathering, growing and crafting during the day (with up to seven co-op pals) to build homes, city walls, catapults to defend against the nightly legions.
That's our shrimp, tuna and cod. Tell us what games you've caught lately below, in the internet's best and only comment section.
