The best tool you can own in life is a hammer, and in Control Resonant , fixing Manhattan requires a VERY big one to perform some percussive maintenance. The Aberrant is the melee weapon that you'll wield in battle, and while it can take a variety of forms, it looks especially satisfying to morph it into a gigantic hammer that wouldn't look out of place in a Looney Tunes cartoon if Rob Zombie were directing it. But what would that version of the Aberrant look like in real life? Pretty intimidating and impractical, it turns out. Ahead of Control Resonant's release next week, the blacksmiths of Man at Arms took a stab at building the Aberrant.

What's the best GTA?
Rockstar Games has released the first footage of an in-game GTA 6 TV show called "Macca & Friends," which is about a sunglass-wearing pink alligator and his wetland friends in Leonida (the stand-in for Florida). One of Macca's friends is Pinchie the crab, who is Macca's landlord. Macca is also friends with a hat-wearing manatee and a flamingo.
