Parrot Bebop Drone

Killer camera, prone to breakage

Ok, so it’s not exactly PC hardware, but we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to check out Parrot’s latest entry-level drone, the Bebop. Boasting massively improved specifications over its predecessor, it sounds like the perfect way to ease newcomers into the art of remote controlled flying. It’s now equipped with a stunning 1080p camera as well, making it one of the most affordable ways to capture epic sweeping shots for your home movies. Unfortunately some rather buggy software and poor battery life makes the high pricetag a rather risky investment.

Forge Quest

The Block Heads (sans Ian Dury)

Though still in early access, Forge Quest, a dungeon crawling, voxelbased hack and slash ARPG looks extremely polished. It’s also charming as hell, not simply because of the blocky world but for the humourous back story as well. Set in the land of Schmoop, players take the role of a licensed adventurer. The license is important, because adventuring is what keeps the economy buoyant. You see, many years before, the constant battles between good and bad became so omnipresent that the entire economy relied on them – blacksmiths repaired weapons and armour, henchmen were in high demand, as were healers, potion makers, poisoners and the like. When good finally overcame evil, the economy collapsed. Now, to keep things balanced and allow the trades to flourish, Schmoop licenses heroes and villains, maintaining a balance between the sides so that everyone, outside of the inevitable dead heroes and villains, can flourish.
