'18 Wheels Of Thunder' boasts Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing's original box art, in a font forged from guitar pedals, light beer, and divorce papers. Flames jet from the snout of the marauding 'rig like snorted breakfast tequila following an especially piquant ex-wifely punchline.

In terms of specs, this Nvidia GPU is a very long way behind the best graphics card models you can buy right now. It has just 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM and 896 Turing CUDA cores. Amazingly...

Metal Eden will probably scratch that itch, the next game from the devs behind the quite violent and flashy Ruiner, given that it's out May 6th. That's still about a month away though, so you could always try out the free demo that dropped today offering a small taste of its sci-fi shooter.
