Something for the Weekend – 29/07/23

thesixthaxis.com:

It’s a slightly funny situation for sports fans to see cricket in England played in lovely sunshine, while there’s rain regularly sweeping through Spa-Francorchamps threatening the Belgian Grand Prix weekend. Only one of these events is living up to stereotypes this weekend, though the weather gods have chosen the correct sport to barrage with the wet stuff – F1 can actually handle a bit of rain, as proven by today’s Sprint qualifying and racing.

There’s a new F1 Manager out now – early access as of Thursday and a full release next week – but before we get to that review score, let’s catch up on this week’s gaming news.

And we can catch up on some subscriptions and freebies:

There’s one outstanding game that came out earlier this month in the form of Remnant 2, but there’s also some solid and fun games to be had elsewhere this July, and F1 fans will have something to fill the imminent summer break.

We also had a solitary hardware review:

I also went hands on with Blue Protocol, the upcoming anime MMORPG coming from a unique partnership between Bandai Namco and Amazon Games. It’s got an intriguing role-less set of character classes, and there’s plenty of splashy combat mixed in alongside some classic anime storytelling. Out now in Japan on PC, it’s coming to PC and consoles in the West in 2024.

Finally, What We Played featured Remnant II, Midnight Suns, and “playing” Pokémon Sleep.
