The aim of the game is to perform the perfect heist by breaking into structures. The twist? You can demolish almost every major wall or support structure. It looks oddly satisfying.

The Undertaker made Finn Balor piss and really what more could you ask for.

In an exclusive sneak peek, we saw a bunch of games that are inspired by the middle ages. There were also new costumes including dragons and witches, which is awesome. Oh and wizards and vikings too. It’s all a bit much really (in a good way). Hopefully we don’t have to wait much longer.

Medal of Honor – Above and Beyond Looks VeRy Good (Yes, It’s VR)

The game is an Oculus exclusive being developed by Respawn. It looks distinct enough from every other military shooter, and kind of makes me want an Oculus. The game releases this year.

Spellbreak Is A Free To Play Arena Game Where You Cast Spells And Errr Break

The game looks like a discount Breath of The Wild visually but it seems to be a pretty fun magic-based arena multiplayer game. Oh and it’s available now for all consoles. And it’s free to play.

Turrican Is Back!

It’s being developed by Factor 5 in celebration of the series 30th Anniversary.

The demo was very similar to the one we previously saw at the Playstation 5 event, but it still was nice to see it in its entirety. It’s a launch window title too.
