We tried I Am Bread – a game about becoming toast – and it was awesome
The premise of I Am Bread - a PC game by the makers of the stratospherically popular Surgeon Simulator - might be our favourite ever.

8 beautiful things that cost less than the rose gold Apple Watch
We're sure we weren't alone in being absolutely entranced by the 18 karat rose gold Apple Watch at the launch event yesterday: Sadly, Apple being Apple, even the rubber-strapped edition of the rose gold Apple Watch is a wince-making £8,000, which puts it just a teensy-tiny bit outside most of our reach.
