Despite their game being over a year and a half old, New World Interactive continues to provide free Insurgency content to their core fanbase of tactical FPS gurus. The game, which you can think of as a midway point between Counter Strike and ARMA, just received its most recent batch of new modes, weapons, and maps.
It's that time of year when your favorite games drop in new content that is in some way, shape, or form, Halloween-themed. Such is the case with the free "Death Gamble" update to the cooperative dungeon crawler/defense title, Dungeon of the Endless, which adds a literal Death to the game (as opposed to the one against which you're figuratively battling throughout) that will offer players a very "special" deal.
It's Paris Games Week (because every city needs a games conference now) and Sony is there showing off some already announced titles, as well as a few new ones. Like Wonderstrucks' new IP, Boundless. From what little they showed off, it looks like a sandbox adventure game in a similar vein as Minecraft or Starbound.
As a hugely popular single-purchase game must, Minecraft has been shifting its revenue stream more and more away from new users, instead focusing on providing extra content (both paid and free) for those already embedded in their franchise. Content packs are, naturally, one of the most clear-cut ways of doing so for consoles, as players can spend a few bucks for the chance to build sick fortresses as Gordon Freeman or the dude from Trials without the hassle of modding websites. The latest iteration of content packs is threefold, adding the following:
Alright co-op fantasy RPG enthusiasts, Divinity: Original Sin Enhanced Edition lands on PS4 and Xbox One today.

You and your buddy can now team up and dive into the rich and incredibly rewarding world of Divinity while wielding controllers.
Okay, here's the scenario: you wake up in a room. It's a little too dark to tell, but it seems like you're surrounded by concrete walls. In front of you is a table with a manila folder, a faulty alarm clock, and a briefcase. The lights come on. You notice that the briefcase is covered in little puzzles. Your friends to begin chirping in your ear, something about wires and buttons and comedy sketches from the 1930's. Your eyes scan the myriad of blinking objects covering the briefcase and... oh. Oh no. There's a timer.
I really liked the idea of Helldivers and I'm glad to see there's still some activity around the title in the form of new content being released from time-to-time. Today, they've released some new free content titled "Democracy Strikes Back," which includes a new mission type and increases the max rank from 20 to 50, as well as some paid content in the form of new classes.
This one goes firmly in the rumor category, but a recent interview with Frank O'Connor from 343 made it sound like a PC version of Halo 5: Guardians could happen. So if you don't own an Xbox One, there may be hope you'll have a chance to team up with Locke, Buck, and the rest of the Scooby gang as they hunt down Master Chief.
The news first came last week when developer Overkill announced that microtransactions would be added to PAYDAY 2. These were included as part of the "Black Market" update and allow players to purchase a special drill that can open special loot safes at the end of a mission. These safes will contain weapon skins that vary in degree of rarity, but can give stat boosts to your gun in addition to a new look. Despite the public backlash to it, these transactions will not be removed.
We break down Halo 5: Guardians co-op play as a compendium to our review. If you've followed the series there's a lot "missing" here including couch co-op play, a separate co-op mode like Firefight, and LAN play. Read on for the details.
It seems like just yesterday you were telling your buddies how awesome Four Swords Adventures was and how Nintendo is dumb for not capitalizing on that.
