SteamWorld Heist 2 Video Review
SteamWorld Heist 2 reviewed by Dan Stapleton on PC, also available on Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.
Steamworld Heist 2’s charming adventure refines the original game’s clever turn-based combat with a flexible mix-and-match class system and hand-made maps that are built around using teamwork to accomplish their objectives and escape unscathed. On top of that, it serves up a light and entertaining real-time nautical exploration game as a palette cleanser between battles, and swapping between them helps things stay fresh for more than twice the first game’s 15-hour length. It’s occasionally mired in grinding to unlock the next area and the skill system will make you waste a lot of XP if you don’t know what’s coming, but there’s no shortage of loot, amusingly off-kilter robot characters, and fantastic original folksy music along the way.
Deadpool & Wolverine reviewed by Tom Jorgensen. Opens in US theaters on Friday, July 26, 2024.
Deadpool & Wolverine is an outrageous, consistently funny superhero comedy that succeeds largely thanks to the contagious enthusiasm of leads Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, and a surprisingly classy perspective on superhero movie history. Wade and Logan’s profanity-laced adventure forces the MCU farther out of its comfort zone than it’s been in years, even though old and increasingly frustrating issues like forgettable villains and a barely there plot show that breaking the fourth wall isn’t always enough to solve a movie’s foundational problems.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas surprised viewers when she kissed Motsi Mabuse on the first live show of the 2024 series.
The dancer and TV judge, 63, was giving feedback to the Olympic swimmer Tom Dean and his professional partner Nadiya Bychkova on their tango when the unexpected moment occurred.
Ballas asked Mabuse to stand up behind the judges’ table to demonstrate a tango hold to Dean, telling the sportsman: “It’s all in the posture.”
As Ballas took Mabuse by the hand, Anton Du Beke praised the two women and could be heard repeatedly saying “go on girls”.
In the middle of the demonstration, Ballas pecked Mabuse on the mouth, causing the former Strictly professional dancer to widen her eyes in surprise.
Strictly viewers were quick to comment on the kiss on X/Twitter, with one fan writing: “Motsi and Shirley kissing live on Strictly to give us the same sex representation we’re missing this series lmao [laughing my a** off].”
Meanwhile, another fan joked: “Omg the lesbian Motsi and Shirley. I’m shaking at all this gayness.”
It comes shortly after Ballas revealed that she has suffered a cancer scare after being encouraged by her Strictly Come Dancing colleague Amy Dowden to attend a routine mammogram.
Ballas explained that doctors discovered lumpy tissue in her left breast after a routine examination, and she has been feeling emotional as she awaits news of the biopsy.
“I’m worried I’ve worked myself to death,” she told The Sun. “It’s been terrifying, to have the needle go in your body to numb it before the biopsy.

“I feel very emotional. I’m not the same at work at the moment, so I’m teaching, but it’s constantly on my mind.”
Ballas, who has judged on the hit BBC dance competition since 2017, then noted the impact of professional dancer Amy Dowden on her decision to attend her scheduled mammogram.
Dowden made a triumphant return to Strictly following a mastectomy, chemotherapy, fertility treatment and hospital care for sepsis on Saturday night (21 September).
“You are back home,” Ballas told the professional dancer after she took to the floor.
Dowden later told the show’s presenter Claudia Winkleman: “I’m so happy I could burst.”

Nobody Wants to Die reviewed by Carli Velocci on PC, also available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Nobody Wants to Die’s relatively brief story isn’t completely original, but it has a cool mix of inspirations and unique worldbuilding touches that all work well together to create something new and engaging. It holds your hand a bit too much for a game about the art of investigation, but its conversation system picks up the slack with humor, unexpected outcomes, and a surprisingly deep story about how your past can be your present — even when you’re facing immortality.

Amy Dowden said she was “so happy I could burst” as she made an emotional return to Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday night (21 September).
The 34-year-old Welsh ballroom dancer, who first joined the cast of Strictly in 2017, was too ill to compete in last year’s series as she recovered from treatment for stage three breast cancer.
Dowden has been paired with JLS singer JB Gill for this year’s series.
“I’m so happy I could burst,” she said after her first performance, responding to Shirley Ballas’s suggestion that she is “back home” on Strictly.
The couple were awarded 31 points during the first live show, securing their high score after they waltzed to “When I Need You” by singer Leo Sayer.
