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

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

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.
Here are my recommendations for Day 2 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 2 of the 2017 Steam Summer Sale. Without further ado, let's begin:
The classic point & click adventure Machinarium has been reworked and improved from the ground up

Machinarium is one of Amanita Design's best point & click adventures, and that is saying a lot given that it has the likes of Samorost 3 as competition. However, as charming the world and its inhabitants are, Machinarium has always been a bit troublesome on the technical side of things given that it was built entirely on Flash.
In most scenarios this would remain as a small little blemish on an otherwise great game, but Amanita Design has decided to take things to the extreme and completely rework Machinarium from the ground up! It now runs on a new custom-built engine, has full-screen support for even the highest resolutions, support for Xbox 360 and Xbox One gampads (as well as experimental support for the rest), cloud saves, as well as the usual slue of Steam-related features.
The Evil Within 2 will be coming to PC and consoles this October

While ambitious, the original The Evil Within was a bit of an unfocused horror game, constantly shifting between different gameplay mechanics even though some of them were clearly undeveloped. However, it definitely had potential, which is why I'm glad to say that during this year's E3 we received an official announcement for The Evil Within 2.
In The Evil Within 2 you will be playing as Detective Sebastian Castellanos who is forced to partner up with the shadowy organization Mobius in order to save his daughter from a grizzly fate. As you might imagine given the genre, things quickly take a turn for the worst and the originally simple mission quickly descends into chaos and madness. If you're wondering what kind of madness we're talking about, wonder not as the developers have recently posted a brief gameplay video showcasing just that. Have a look:
Planet Coaster's upcoming Summer Update will bring fireworks, new rides, rollercoasters, and scenery

Ever since Planet Coaster launched the developers have been incredibly consistent in regards to content updates. There was a Winter Update in December, a Spring Update in April, and as you might expect from the title alone, this June we will be getting the much-anticipated Summer Update!
The rather plainly named Summer Update will bring with it fireworks, new types of scenery, a bunch of new rides and rollercoasters, new scenarios, as well as a variety of fixes and changes. Since this is a theme park we're talking about, allow me show you what all of this looks like in-game via the recently posted teaser trailer. Have a look:
