Is there anything more relaxing than gardening?  In my experience,  nurturing a fully-fledged plot of crops is one of the most therapeutic journeys one can embark on.  The problem, of course, is that it's so expensive!  First off, you've gotta pay some folks to "till the land".  Then, you have to keep them on payroll to "water the plants" and "pull the weeds", and when you think it's all over, you have to hand over another fat stack of cash just so those same people can "harvest everything"!  I mean, come on, the millions of dollars from my father's inheritance aren't infinite!

Sorry, you actually missed the live stream of Livelock (it was last night on Twitch), the upcoming twin-stick shooter from developer Tuque games . Not to be confused with 2K Games, publishers of Battleborn. Livelock was actually supposed to be released today on Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation 4 but it's been delayed for an undetermined amount of time as the team polished off a few minor things.

After the word hit this past May that Disney was closing down Avalanche Software and ceasing further production/development of its Disney Infinity franchise, it was only a matter of time before they laid out their plans to bring down all of the online infrastructure. Enjoy your time in the game now, while you can, because next March, it'll pretty much be over.

The free-to-play, third-person action MOBA SMITE got a pretty big update today on the PC. In addition to a new goddess, the earth mother Terra, a lot of existing items and gods got some tweaks, too.

Pendles, the serpentine assassin, has joined Battleborn's long roster of characters for Season Pass holder, and will be available to all players this week on Thursday, August 4. Much like the previous character, Alana, you can pick up Pendles by purchasing him for 47,500 in-game credits.

Set after the events of the last major Halo game, Halo Wars 2 continues the story of the UNSC Spirit of Fire and its crew. In the latest video teaser, we see them awakening to a new threat and a whole new galaxy.

Farming Simulator 17, the latest farming sim game from Swiss developer Giants Software, will be coming to PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 this fall. Not only has the number of vehicles and equipment you can use in the game to tend to your farm been increased, so has the gender options for your farmer.

Hard to believe that July has come and gone. Traditionally the quietest month of the year for gaming, July 2016 pretty much followed suit. A handful of releases, mostly re-releases and indie; and teases of what's to come this fall. August should heat up a bit more before we get into our proper gaming explosion this fall. 

I bet you thought that, instead of my usual couple paragraphs of text, the Co-Opticrew quotes would be prefaced by a video of Hoobastank's legendary performance of "The Reason".  Nope!  You're still stuck here with ol' Enoch.  Woe be to anyone believing that I'd actually follow-up on my article titles.

The release of the remastered versions of Marvel Ultimate Alliance and its sequel have not gone too smoothly. Delayed releases, missing characters, and problematic controls are among some of the biggest issues reported thus far, but it's sounding like, on the whole, the remasters just weren't well-executed.

The first big piece of paid DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER arrived yesterday. The "Call of the Beastmen" added a new playable race (the Beastmen) and a mini-campaign for them, but there was some content that found its way into the game as well.

The first of many pieces of DLC dropped for LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped this week. You can expand your roster of playable characters in the game with heroes and villains featured in the Star Wars Prequel movies, and from the new LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures TV animated series. The character packs are $1.99...
