Kingdom Come: Deliverance devs have released a lengthy video going over all aspects of gameplay

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an upcoming medieval RPG that aims to be as realistic and faithful to the era as possible. In other words, don't expect to see mages throwing fireballs or caves filled with zombies, but rather a whole bunch of knights and peasants fighting a bloody civil war.
If you're interested in what all of this might look like in terms of gameplay, and if you have about an hour to spare, you'll find the recently posted video right below. Just keep in mind that what you're watching is alpha footage, so there are obviously going to be bugs and issues even though everything is pretty much working as expected. Anyway, have a look:
The banana republic simulator Tropico 6 will be arriving in 2018 for PC and consoles

As far as management/simulator games go the Tropico series has always been one of the more interesting ones. This isn't because its mechanics and systems are so good they simply cannot be matched by other games, but rather because it tackles a completely unique concept: ruling over a banana republic.
Given the success of the previous games in the series (including Tropico 5 which is currently on sale) it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that during this year's E3 the developers announced a brand new sequel. The rather plainly named Tropico 6 will bring with it the largest landmass the series has seen so far, a revised research and political system, cooperative and competitive multiplayer, as well as various improvements to all of the elements you'll find throughout the entire series.
Here are my recommendations for Day 3 of the 2017 Steam Summer Sale

After a few weeks of teasers, rumors, and wild theories the Steam Summer Sale has now finally arrived, bringing with it a ridiculous amount of discounted games. However, while that is certainly a good thing, it is not exactly easy to choose only a couple of games when you have thousands upon thousands strewn before you.
In an effort to help out with this little 'problem', and also showcase some great games you might not have otherwise even looked at, I have devised a brief list consisting of five games you should consider grabbing on Day 3 of the 2017 Steam Summer Sale. Without further ado, let's begin:
The standalone edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be coming later this month

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered was initially released as a "special bonus" for everyone who purchased the Special Edition of Infinite Warfare. And now, over half a year after the release of Infinite Warfare, it appears that the 'hostage situation' will finally be resolved and Modern Warfare Remastered given a standalone release.
According to the official Twitter the standalone version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be arriving this June 27th, though unfortunately only the PS4 edition has been confirmed so far. Call of Duty has some sort of exclusivity deal with Sony so the PS4 is pretty much always the first platform to receive any new updates, but the PC and Xbox One versions are usually not that far behind, so hopefully the same will apply here.
Killing Floor 2's recent Summer Sideshow Update has brought in circus freaks and evil clowns

Killing Floor 1 was never a very serious game, and this was reflected through its updates as well. Given that Killing Floor 2 is more or less a continuation of Killing Floor 1 it won't come as much of a surprise to hear that it has inherited its sense of humor as well, which in the case of the most recent update means that all of the nasty mutants have been transformed into hilarious circus freaks and evil clowns!
All of this might sound completely demented on first glance, but its actually pretty damn cool to see all of your favorite enemies transformed into classic circus parodies... with a bit of a twist. But rather than just babble on, allow me to instead show you what all the new enemies look like through the recently posted teaser trailer. Have a gander:
The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein 2, and Dishonored 2 will all be getting a comic book series this September
- By Ash
- in News
During this year's E3 Bethesda announced a whole bunch of new games that are to be released under their wing, the most interesting of which are The Evil Within 2, Wolfenstein 2: The New Colossus, and Dishonored 2: Death of the Outsider. Given the popularity of these series it probably won't come as a surprise to hear that Bethesda has also announced an official tie-in comic, but what might come as a surprise is that they have announced one for all three games!
The comics will be created in collaboration with Titan Comics and released this Fall, though obviously not on the same date. The Evil Within comic will arrive on September 6th, the Wolfenstein 2 one on September 13th, and finally the Dishonored 2 tie-in will launch on September 27th.
Battleborn has been updated with a brand new 3v3 game mode - Supercharge
- By Ash
- in News
In an effort to prevent a slow and painful death Battleborn devs have recently turned to the free-to-play model as a solution. And in order to further revitalize the playerbase they have now released a rather sizable update that contains an entirely new game mode and maps exclusive to it.
Supercharge pits two teams of three players against each other in a fast-paced race, though not the kind you would expect. Instead of running through checkpoints yourself, the goal in Supercharge is to escort minions through gates in order to earn points, while also fighting to control a single central capture point. This capture point is what gives Supercharge its name since the team that controls it will reap the benefit of supercharged minions, which as you might imagine makes escorting them a much easier prospect.
