Space Hulk: Deathwing arrived on PC last year and while it managed to capture some of the feeling and atmosphere of being a walking killing machine sent inside a derelict spacecraft filled with relentless aliens out to harvest your genes, it fell short in a number of other ways. The latest update, though, teases at some great things in the works.
A couple weeks back the good folks over at Metanet Software dropped a massive update on their popular platformer, NPLUSPLUS. The "Ultimate Edition" doubled the number of playable levels (bringing the new total up to 4,340), added new color schemes, and a new Hardcore mode (solo only, bummer). Best of all? It's an entirely free update.
Vikings: Wolves of Midgard breathes some fresh life into the popular, yet often stagnant, Action RPG genre by incorporating trademark aspects of different game genres. It you can forgive some rough edges, it’s a fun romp....
The days of a demo on every game seems to be a thing of the past. Instead, we are invited to play free weekends in the hopes that our interest is peaked enough to buy said game. This upcoming weekend it is the turn of Tom Clancy's The Division across PC, PS4 and One.
Team Ninja has released the first piece of DLC for its Dark Souls inspired action title, Nioh. Titled "Dragon of the North," this content adds a new area to explore with new levels and enemies, as well as a new weapon type (the Odachi), new armor sets, new Guardian Spirits, and more.
The second bit of DLC for Halo Wars 2 arrived last week. Similar to the first, which added a new USMC leader and a few units to the game, this content expands the roster of leaders available to you in the Blitz and Firefight (and other multiplayer) modes with a new leader and a few new units.
According to the folks over at Nintendo Everything, Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn is on its way to the Nintendo Switch, raising the console's game library to, like... five.
If you missed our stream last night, we checked out a bit of the closed beta currently underway for Marvel Heroes Omega on the PlayStation 4. We gave away some Founder's Pack codes during that, and today we've got some codes to access just the closed beta itself.
EXOR Studios' next title, X-Morph: Defense, is still on its way at some point this year, bringing with it the thrill of not only shmups but also building towers to defend against waves of enemies. The last time we checked in, we got to see some of the local co-op in action. This time we're looking at some of the enemy behavior and graphic effects, as well as just how intense the combat can get.
Released back in March of this year, Styx: Shards of Darkness was a cause for delight around these parts due to its inclusion of two player online co-op. Its predecessor was already held in high regard, so co-op fans were understandably excited for a chance to experience the stealth-focused game with a friend. One thing seemed to be holding it back, though - a lack of multiplayer save functionality.
