Capcom has just announced that the much-anticipated Monster Hunter: World will be coming on January 26th, 2018. So far only the console release date has been confirmed, but chances are high the PC version will follow relatively quickly. Either way, the good news is that the developers have stated they will take as long as they need to in order to make it a quality PC port.
If you're wondering what to expect from Monster Hunter: World in terms of visuals and combat, allow me to share with you one of the recent gameplay trailers. Its essentially a brief overview of the Wildspire Waste zone, but it should give you a good idea of what Monster Hunter: World is all about. Have a look:
Innervate, Fiery War Axe, and Spreading Plague nerfs have now arrived to Hearthstone

Even though the recent Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion brought with it some rather interesting cards the meta ended up being dominated by boring ol' Jade Druids and Pirate Warriors, decks that have been problematic since they first appeared. As it became more and more apparent that a counter is not going to show up any time soon, Blizzard announced a variety of nerfs, though not exactly the nerfs players expected to see.
Instead of toning down the extremely efficient pirates and their overlord Patches, Blizzard chose to nerf Fiery War Axe which is going to be a massive hit for Control Warrior decks. On the positive side, the developers did also nerf Druid through cards like Innervate and Spreading Plague, though I'm not exactly sure if that's going to be enough when compared to the average power level across classes. If you're interested in seeing Blizzard's reasonings behind all of these changes you'll find what you seek on the official blog, but for now here are all of the nerfs:
City of Brass, an Arabian Nights themed rogue-lite, has now arrived on Steam Early Access

- in Indie Games
City of Brass is a challenging first-person rogue-lite themed after the Arabian Nights. In gameplay terms this means you will be spending most of your time exploring opulent cities and sand-covered ruins, fighting against a variety of mythological creatures as well as boring ol' skeletons, and naturally, trying your hardest to not die a brutal and highly disappointing death.
It just recently arrived on Steam Early Access, and if you're interested in seeing what it has to offer you'll find the launch trailer right below. Its not a very lengthy video, but it should be more than enough to give you a decent idea of just what kind of rogue-lite City of Brass truly is. Have a look:
Heroes of the Storm devs have released a spotlight video for the upcoming healer Ana

A few days ago Blizzard revealed that Heroes of the Storm will soon be getting a whole bunch of Overwatch themed content. While the full patch notes haven't been revealed just yet, the upcoming update will be adding Ana and Junkrat as playable heroes, as well as a brand new map set in Volskaya Industries.
If you're wondering how exactly a skill-intensive healer like Ana is going to make the transition from FPS to MOBA, wonder no more as the developers have now released a rather lengthy spotlight video. While some of the spells had to be changed, you'll be glad to hear that she plays and feels pretty much like her Overwatch self! Have a look, its quite an interesting video:
Subnautica's recent Cuddlefish Update has added a bizarre yet adorable little pet for you to tame
- By Ash
- in News
Subnautica's most recent updates have all been centered around extremely aggressive and terrifying alien creatures that seem to love nothing more than to chew on the player's face. As such, I must admit its a bit surprising to see that the latest Cuddlefish Update has only really brought in an adorable little pet for you to play around with.
In order to get yourself this new companion you'll first need to find a cuddlefish egg, though this shouldn't be too big of a problem as they're hidden all across the world. After that all you'll need to do is incubate the egg in the Alien Containment module, ideally create an aquarium within your submarine in order to house your newfound friend, and that's pretty much it. Its not the most complex or in-depth of features, but after being chased around by all sorts of leviathans I have a feeling players will appreciate a friendly face.
Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr Early Access Review - Clearly unfinished, but highly enjoyable
- By Ash
- in Reviews
Warhammer 40,000 Inquisitor - Martyr is an action-RPG that combines the grim darkness of the Warhammer 40k universe with the open-ended nature of the Diablo series. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will explore vast randomly created levels, collect more loot than any cargo ship could possibly carry, mess around with a variety of unique weapons and abilities, and naturally, mow down hordes upon hordes of Chaos servants and their demonic buddies.
Despite releasing onto Early Access only a short while ago, Inquisitor - Martyr already shows great promise. Its obviously unfinished and unpolished, but beneath all of that lies a remarkably enjoyable ARPG. So if you're interested in finding out what the current version of Inquisitor - Marty is all about, and what still needs improvements, allow me to share with you my thoughts after spending quite a few hours with it.
