Sine Mora EX official artwork and logo

Sine Mora EX is a colorful side-scrolling shoot'em up that provides a bit of a unique challenge. Instead of just having to deal with an entire hailstorm of bullets flying your way, you will also have to master a variety of time manipulating devices in order to survive what would otherwise be certain death. I sure hope you can stay calm under pressure!

As you might deduce from the name, Sine Mora EX is a new and improved version of Sine Mora that launched back in 2012. The expanded version brings with it support for the 16:9 aspect ratio, fully English voiceovers with the ability to swap to the original Hungarian ones at will, local co-op for up to two players in the story mode, three new versus modes, new challenge levels, and naturally, improved visuals.

Garrosh Hellscream artwork for the Siege of Orgrimmar

Out of all the characters in World of Warcraft I am fairly certain Garrosh Hellscream is the most divisive one. Some hate him because he was essentially forced into a major role without having even a tiny bit of characterization, while others love him because he's exactly that - a brute that never wanted supreme power, yet ended up having to deal with the consequences nonetheless.

Whatever the case may be, death does not appear to be a major obstacle for Garrosh as Blizzard has just announced that he will be the next character to join the Heroes of the Storm roster. Twitter's embedding feature is a bit awkward to use, so if you're interested in seeing what he will look like you should head over to the original tweet.

Shelob from Shadow of War artwork

If the name doesn't ring a bell, Shelob was the giant spider that poisoned Frodo in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. She was not, however, just any random overgrown spider. She was the spawn of Ungoliant, a primordial being of darkness that took the shape of a truly terrifying and gigantic spider.

Given her lineage it really shouldn't come as much of a surprise to hear that Shelob herself posses quite a few powers, but what might come as a surprise is that in Shadow of War she is very... non-spider-like. You'll see what I mean through the recently posted teaser trailer right below. Have a look:

Total War: Warhammer's artwork for Krell

During the recent Norsca faction reveal Creative Assembly teased the upcoming arrival of an "old friend". As it turns out, the old friend is the former champion of the Blood God himself, Krell the Lord of Undeath. Not exactly my first pick as far as friends go, but I suppose he does come quite handy in a fight.

Krell is now available as an exclusive summon for the Vampire Count Legendary Lord Heinrich Kemmler. While he does constantly decay on the battlefield Krell is an incredibly powerful fighter that's fully capable of cleaving straight through entire legions of enemy infantry. He's also quite strong when it comes to facing down enemy heroes in 1v1 duels, though he will need a couple of buffs and heals from Kemmler in order to not crumble into dust mid-way.

Immortal Planet screenshot from up close

Like many games that draw inspiration from Dark Souls, Immortal Planet is an action-RPG with challenging combat that rewards patience and timing rather than reckless aggression. Given the difficulty curve it is highly likely that you will find yourself dying, and dying a lot, but as long as you can reach the same place again death will be nothing more than a learning experience.

If you're wondering how all of this translates into gameplay, allow me to share with you the recently posted launch trailer. Its not very long, but it will still give you a good idea of just what kind of ARPG Immortal Planet really is. Have a look:

Just Cause 3: Multiplayer Mod of many, many players riding a plane

The Just Cause 3: Multiplayer Mod has been around for quite a while now, but as of today its also available on Steam! So if you own Just Cause 3 and want to see what kind of nonsense you can get up to with a hundred people on the same server, now would be the best time to do so as the multiplayer population has undoubtedly gotten a big boost from the Steam launch.

Before you jump in, however, it is important to note that Just Cause 3 was never designed with multiplayer in mind, and as such this mod has sadly been unsuccessful in getting the NPCs to work. Trying to sync up hundreds of NPCs and players at the same time has simply proven to be too great of a task, so until Avalanche Studios finally decide to tackle the problem themselves you're just going to have to settle with shooting other people in the face instead.
