If you hate the very concept of DRM but love open-world RPGs you're in luck as GOG has just updated its store with some Bethesda classics. As you can probably deduce from the title alone, the three newly added games are Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition, Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Edition.
Besides being fully DRM-free the games are currently on a 50% discount which brings their price to €9,50 each. Since each and every single one of them offers hundreds of hours of entertainment I would definitely recommend you grab whichever game interests you the most because this really is an awesome deal, DRM or not!
Shadowverse developers have announced the next 104-card expansion: Wonderland Dreams

Shadowverse is currently celebrating its first birthday with a whole bunch of free goodies. From now until June 14th all daily missions will award double gold, which means you can easily get 3+ card packs each day. And if that wasn't generous enough, the developers will also be giving away 40 card packs spread across all four card sets from June 13th to June 27th! In other words, if you decide to start Shadowverse in the next few weeks chances are you're going to have enough cards to create whatever sort of deck you might enjoy.
In order to add further fuel onto the fire Shadowverse devs have now also announced a brand new expansion: Wonderland Dreams. The details are still incredibly light, but what I can tell you is that Shadowverse's 5th card set will feature 104 new cards to mess around with, many of which will be powerful Neutral options in order to enhance the deck building process for all classes.
The latest Vanquish update has fixed most of the FPS related bugs and glitches

The PC version of Vanquish launched without many issues, but since it was never designed with uncapped FPS in mind it exhibited some very strange behavior at high FPS. Most notably, players on powerful PCs found themselves taking much more damage than was expected, while also suffering from drastically reduced health regeneration.
In order to combat these problems the developers released a beta patch a couple of days ago, though due to it being a public holiday they weren't able to test it thoroughly. Now, a few days later, the fully tested update has finally arrived, and it would appear that most of the problems have been corrected! The patch notes are fairly small, so here they are in their entirety:
Tekken 7 has arrived to PC and consoles alongside some favorable reviews

After months of teasers, previews, and character introductions Tekken 7 has now finally arrived for both PC and consoles. But perhaps most importantly of all, it has arrived alongside some very favorable reviews and zero stories about the PC port being a flaming wreck. Now that is a rarity with AAA games these days!
If you're wondering what exactly Tekken 7 brings to the table, wonder no more as the developers have recently posted a video detailing all of its features and game modes. The video is about 4 minutes long, but it should give you a pretty damn good idea of what you're getting into. Have a look:
You can grab Dark Souls 2 and all of its DLC for $12 via the Humble Monthly Bundle

The Humble Monthly Bundle is a $12 subscription service that instantly gives you access to one game, and then a whole bunch more when the next month rolls over. Last month the featured game was Stellaris, and this time around its Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin which includes all of the DLC.
Most people consider Dark Souls 2 to be the weakest part of the Dark Souls trilogy, and to be perfectly honest I agree with them. That said, the weakest part of the Dark Souls trilogy is still one of the best games I have ever played, so if you have even an inkling of interest in action-RPGs I would fully recommend you give Dark Souls 2 a try. There is literally hundreds of hours of content to be found in here, so for $12 you really can't go wrong!
Piranha Byte's sci-fi open-world RPG ELEX will be coming out in October
- By Ash
- in News
ELEX is an upcoming post-apocalyptic open-world RPG from the creators of the Risen and Gothic series. As with all of their previous games ELEX is going to allow you to choose what sort of playstyle you'll mess around with, what allies you will keep and which enemies you will make, and most importantly, how you will solve each and every situation. An ambitious goal, but Piranha Byte has quite a lot of experience with this concept, so ELEX has a pretty good chance of being at least intriguing.
Whatever the case may be we won't have to wait for very long in order to find out as the release date for ELEX has been just been announced. You can expect to see it on the PC, PS4, and Xbox One on October 17, 2017. Besides this announcement the developers have also released a CGI trailer showcasing what the player will see throughout his journey on Magalan. Have a look:
Attack on Titan inspired action-adventure Extinction has now been announced

Given the popularity of Attack on Titan it should come as no surprise to hear that there is now a third-party game inspired by the concept. In Extinction you will fight massive Ogres and their minions across the countryside or within city walls, attack from both ground and air, and use a dynamic combat system to tactically disarm an dismember your enemies. In other words its Attack on Titan with a bit of a twist, but since this type of concept has yet to be perfected in video game form I have absolutely no qualms with Iron Galaxy attempting to copy it.
If you're wondering what this might look like in gameplay terms I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for a little while, but I can show you the recently posted cinematic trailer. It'll at least give you a good idea of what kind of atmosphere and action Extinction is going for. Have a look:
