Troy Baker, the voice actor leading the cast of virtually every major game of the last few years (Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, BioShock Infinite, Tales from the Borderlands, The Crew… the list goes on and on) has taken on a career-defining role: a slice of bread in Bossa Studios’ upcoming I am Bread, “the beautiful story of one slice of bread’s epic and emotional journey as it embarks upon a quest to become toasted.”

This new trailer, posted by GameSpot, features Baker’s narration as the eponymous bread, struggling to awkwardly work his way across the kitchen. Unfortunately, a disclaimer at the beginning warns that “just to be clear, Troy Baker is not in this game.” Instead this seems to be a promotional stunt. Regardless, the performance is a master class in baked goods acting from gaming’s leading man:

I am Bread is the next game from Surgeon Simulator developer Bossa Studios. The team once again drops players into a physics sandbox, only this time you’re a slice of bread flopping around someone’s house in your endless pursuit of toasty heat. I am Bread is available now in early access on Steam for Mac and Windows.

How to get to Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves
An election poster for guybrush in Sea of Thieves.

Over the course of its many years of updates and expansions, Sea of Thieves has had a few notable crossovers with other pirate franchises. The Pirates of the Caribbean crossover let you team up with the legendary Jack Sparrow, but the Monkey Island content felt like it came out of nowhere. For those unaware, Monkey Island is a series of pirate point-and-click games that were as funny as the puzzles were obscure. Thankfully, you don't have to intuit that you need to combine a cat whisker with a mason jar to bypass a skeleton guard to get to this new content, but it is more challenging than you might think.

3 Xbox Game Pass games you need to play this weekend (May 3-5)
Senua in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

Another weekend is upon us, and you're probably looking for some games to kill time with over the course of it. We're in a bit of a lull right now ahead of a flurry of releases starting next week, so it's a great time to dip back into the Xbox Game Pass catalog and check out some games that you may have missed. There are three games in particular that I think you should check out this weekend if you're looking for something to play.

One is an unsettling adventure that's getting an Xbox-exclusive sequel later this month. The next is a finely animated roguelike indie that recently made its way to Microsoft's gaming subscription service. Finally, there's a relaxing adventure that gives players a lot of freedom, yet is short enough to beat in a weekend. If you're having trouble deciding what to play this weekend, give one of these games a shot.

3 underrated PS Plus games you should play this weekend (May 3-5)
The main character of Tales of Kenzera: Zau stands with two elemental items.

PlayStation Plus Premium and Extra have been around for almost two years, and during that time the subscription service has established itself as an ample competitor to Xbox Game Pass. That means there is a wealth of great games for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners to check out if they're looking for something to play this weekend. I think PS Plus subscribers should be looking toward some of the more underrated games in the subscription service this weekend too.

I have three particular picks in mind. The first is an enjoyable Metroidvania that came to PS Plus' game catalog when it launched just a couple of weeks ago and deserves a lot more attention than it's getting. After that, there's an action-platformer that pays homage to series like Ninja Gaiden that you should check out before it leaves the catalog. Finally, there's a PS2-era Star Wars game that fills the niche a recently canceled game would have.
