After already revealing the Dark Elf War Hydra and the Skaven Hell Pit Abomination, Creative Assembly has now finally shifted their focus towards the High Elves. And what better way to showcase the might of Ulthuan than with one of the most powerful creatures the Warhammer world has ever seen - the Moon Dragon.
So if you're interested in watching a Moon Dragon absolutely annihilate a Black Dragon and its Dark Elf rider, you'll find the most recent teaser trailer right below. Have a look, its short but rather sweet:
Cities: Skylines will be going eco-friendly later this year with the Green Cities expansion

While I feel like all of these expansions are slightly too pricey, I still must commend the Cities: Skylines developers for their continued support. Despite releasing a damn good game over two years ago they have continuously added more and more content to it. Sometimes its silly and fairly questionable stuff like extra music, other times its ridiculously awesome stuff like blimps and giant monorails, but there's always something new and interesting to toy around with.
With all of that in mind, it really shouldn't come as too much of a surprise to hear that Cities: Skylines will be going eco-friendly later this year, all thanks to the newly announced Green Cities expansion. You can expect to see a variety of new structures, parks, electric cars, alternative service buildings, eco-friendly stores, and the list goes on. If you would like a quick peek at what all of this looks like in-game, you'll find the recently posted teaser trailer right below. Have a look:
Here's a brief look at what the VR version of the modern Doom is all about
- By Ash

During the recent E3 convention Bethesda announced both Fallout 4 VR and Doom VFR (with the "F" most likely meaning the same thing it does in BFG), though they didn't share much in terms of details. All we really knew is that Doom VFR would be designed to replicate Doom's gameplay as closely as possible, while still trying its damnest to keep people from getting seasick in the middle of their living rooms due to all of the constant motion and hordes upon hordes of demons.
If you're not exactly satisfied with that barebones answer, you'll be glad to hear that Bethesda recently posted a video showcasing not only gameplay, but also the developer's reasonings behind some of the major decisions. Its not a very lengthy video, but it should clue you in on what id Software is trying to achieve. Have a look:
Nine Parchments is a Magicka inspired co-op action-adventure from the developers of Trine

Frozenbyte, the studio most famous for their Trine series, is currently working on a brand new co-op action-adventure seemingly inspired by Magicka. What this means in gameplay terms is that you will be able to master a wide variety of spells and effects, explode or crush hordes upon hordes of enemies, and hopefully try to do all of that without accidentally killing all of your allies in either local or online co-op.
The similarities to Magicka appear to be blindingly obvious, but as you'll see in the trailer below they might just be skin deep. Whatever the case may be, here's a brief and very colorful look at Nine Parchments:
Guild Wars 2 developers have released a brief recap of the story leading up to the Path of Fire expansion
- By Ash

In Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire we will be taking a trip to the Crystal Desert and the adjoining kingdom of Elona in order to prevent the Human god of war Balthazar from killing one of the ancient dragons, who coincidentally also want to kill us. And if that wasn't bad enough, Elona is currently ruled over by King Palawa Joko, a nearly immortal lich that has an entire army of undead minions at his disposal, minions he is more than willing to send out against any pesky interlopers.
If you haven't played the original Guild Wars chances are all of this lore will end up being far too overwhelming, which is why I'm very glad to say that ArenaNet has recently posted a brief recap of the events leading up to the Path of Fire expansion. Its obviously nothing detailed, and you'll need to delve through the wiki to learn more, but it should at least give you a general idea of what to expect from the Crystal Desert.
The Evil Within 2's latest trailer shows off the rather unpleasant Giggling Guardian

In The Evil Within 2 we will be taking on the role of detective Sebastian Castellanos who is forced to partner up with the shadowy organization Mobious in order to save his daughter. As you might expect from a horror game this unlikely alliance quickly takes a turn for the worst, while the once simple mission swiftly descends into pure madness.
If you're wondering what sort of madness we're talking about, wonder no more as the developers have just recently posted a video showcasing one of the many horrors that await us - the Giggling Guardian. The gameplay video is about 5 minutes long, and I would highly recommend you give it a look as its actually quite atmospheric:
Rockstar is bringing L.A. Noire to HTC Vive and modern consoles, including the Switch

L.A. Noire had a ton of potential, as well as an equally large amount of great ideas behind it, but due to some comically bad mismanagement it ended up being just slightly above mediocre. With that in mind, I hope you can now understand just how surprising it is to hear that Rockstar Games are not only bringing L.A. Noire to modern consoles, but to VR devices as well!
The console version will feature all of the original content and DLC, as well as a variety of visual and audio enhancements, including things such as 4K support for PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. More importantly, the remastered version will also be making its way to the Nintendo Switch, just in case you wanted to solve some crimes while on the bus.
