One of the big hits amongst Twitch streamers these past couple years was the prison simulator, The Escapists. Something about watching people craft shivs out of toothbrushes and then use them on inmates just draws a crowd. During this year's TwitchCon, developer Mouldy Toof announced a sequel, The Escapists 2, is in the works and this time you could play with friends.
The latest expansion for Destiny, Rise of Iron, was barely a week old when there were already some news reports coming out that the next big release for the game, dubbed "Destiny 2" for now, would be changing things up. Not only would the series be making its way onto the PC, but the game may be so different from the original that players would be starting all over again.
During this year's E3, a number of sites got a thumb drive loaded up with assets for a variety of Microsoft titles and discovered a folder on there called "Bulletstorm Remaster". No formal announcement was made about this and neither Microsoft nor the developer, People Can Fly, confirmed anything. A few days ago, a listing for Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition appeared on a Brazilian ratings site, so it looks like the title will be coming sometime in 2017.
I've always wanted to invest in the massive fictional universe of Warhammer 40,000. I mean, you've got your gun-toting orks, space marines, massive derelict spacecraft, and best of all...chainsaw-swords. Jumping into such an expansive universe could be downright daunting for a newbie, and might require reading, like...actual novels. We're in the digital age, people! Do you suffer violent allergic reactions when holding books (like myself)? Why not check out a sliver of such a universe by playing Spacehulk: Deathwing?
It's been over 5 years since we last asked for our awesome readers to participate in a survey, so we figured, now might be a good time to do it again!

Well crap. October totally snuck up on us and we missed our normal September round-up. Better late than never, right? Those pesky news stories, game releases, and features simply got away from us. It was a jam packed month with almost a dozen co-op game reviews!
Ninjas. Exactly what's not to love about these dark, cunning warriors of the night? They scurry along rooftops making nary a sound, slice and dice with surgical precision, and poof into thin air leaving ninja-smoke in their wake. You can partake in these wholesome activities and many more in Aragami, an action stealth title from developer Lince Works.
Racing's on the mind this weekend, folks. The Co-Opticrew has gotten a taste of the latest in the Forza Horizon series, and now we just can't get enough. It's like they say: Once you pop, you become addicted to cruising the Outback in pursuit of growing your brand and enticing more fans to join your absurdly destructive car festival until you're a dust-covered husk of your former self.
The list of Xbox One Backwards Compatibility titles continues to grow. The latest addition? Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War.
It's time for something that resembles a roguelike! Lost Castle shoves a random character in your hands and turns you loose in a world full of enemies and treasure. No puzzles, no platforming, just a lot of hacking and slashing followed by looting and upgrading. It's a sweet throwback to some classics in the genre, complete with local co-op...
