This week in PC games: too much horror! And not the kind related to graphics card prices, stinky corporate acquisitions, or the general corrosion of all that is real and good.

Julian is just back from holiday, though he's shortly heading out to visit a certain strategy game publisher of note. James has a new contraption you can play games on. Seems plausible that he'll write about it. And I can't remember my own plans because it's lunchtime and I have no glucose left with which to do brain thoughts. Have a good week.
