Insurgency is free until Wednesday, and you can keep it forever
https://www.pcgamer.com/insurgency-is-free-until-wednesday-and-you-can-keep-it-forever/
The team-based (not turn-based) tactical shooter Insurgency: Sandstorm will be out on September 18, and to convince everyone to give it a try, New World Interactive is giving the original Insurgency away for the next two days.
Insurgency is a multiplayer tactical shooter that encourages teamwork through a "brutal" commitment to realism, which in the context of videogames means no regenerating health and certain death if you take more than one hit. It's good—we scored it 77/100 in our 2014 review—and the player base has remained active enough (in the low to mid-2000s) to keep it viable over the four-plus years that it's been out.

Super Mario Odyssey and other games can go in-game in the latest version of the Nintendo Switch emulator, Yuzu
https://www.dsogaming.com/news/super-mario-odyssey-and-other-games-can-go-in-game-in-the-latest-version-of-the-nintendo-switch-emulator-yuzu/
While these past few months we’ve been focusing on the RyujiNX Nintendo Switch emulator, the other amazing emulator for Nintendo’s console, Yuzu, has been also progressing steadily. And today, we are happy to report that numerous games, including Super Mario Odyssey, can go in-game in Yuzu.
Now this does not obviously mean that the emulator will run Super Mario Odyssey tomorrow on in the next couple months. It’s a miracle that the game can go in-game at this point, so don’t expect to be playing this triple-A Nintendo game anytime soon.
