For those of you that haven't played all of Left 4 Dead 2's campaigns let's just say that Bill was left in a rather... uncomfortable situation during one of the final ones. He went on a one-man suicide mission through hordes upon hordes of zombies, all in an effort to power a generator and lift the bridge in order to save the lives of his fellow survives. While it was heavily implied Bill's death was never shown, which led many to speculate that this wasn't the last time we're going to be seeing the jaded veteran in action.
As it turns out those people were completely correct, because according to Dead by Daylight's latest trailer Bill not only survived, but he killed every single zombie in the entire area! Unfortunately for Bill he left the frying pan in order to leap directly into the fire, as you'll see in the character spotlight trailer down below. Have a look:

In the most basic terms Mirage: Arcane Warfare is a spiritual successor to Chivalry: Medieval Warfare. The big difference, as you can probably imagine from the name alone, is that Mirage features a far greater focus on spellcasting and unique character abilities over random screaming and weapon twirling.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like in action, wonder no more as the developers have released a rather lengthy gameplay preview showcasing all of the classes in action. Just do keep in mind that the footage you're watching is from an alpha build, so things are hopefully going to become much smoother once we get to release. Anyway, here's the video:
Duelyst will be getting its third expansion Ancient Bonds on March 15th

[Update]: Unfortunately, Duelyst will be closing down its doors on February 27, 2020.
If you're unfamiliar with Duelyst its basically a hybrid between a card game and a turn-based strategy, though the emphasis is most definitely on the CCG aspects of gameplay. And since this is a card game we're talking about there is no better thing than a whole bunch of new cards, which is why I'm glad to say that Duelyst will be getting its third expansion Ancient Bonds on March 15th.
Ancient Bonds will bring with it 39 new cards to toy around with, a new keyword by the name of Bond, as well as a lot of synergies with previous cards. If you're interested in a sneak peak at some of these upcoming cards you'll find all of the currently announced ones over at the official website.

If you're a fan of Samurai and the legends that surround them you might want to keep an eye on the newly announced Tale of Ronin. While there isn't much information available right now, I can tell you that Tale of Ronin will be a hand-painted RPG set in a dynamic world where you will need to forge your own destiny as a free Ronin, or in other words a Samurai without a master.
Since so much of Tale of Ronin hinges on the presentation it would probably be for the best you first check out the announcement trailer. There isn't much in terms of actual gameplay, but just seeing the art style should be enough to pique your interest. Have a look:

After going over the system requirements I'm sure many of you are wondering how much you'll be able to tweak the graphics in order to achieve a nice and consistent framerate. Well, you'll be glad to hear that the answer to that question is quite expansive as the graphics settings have a nice variety of options to mess around.
If you're interested in the full article and some screenshots showcasing Mass Effect: Andromeda with each setting on ultra you can find what you seek over at the GeForce website. On the other hand, if you're just interested in the settings here are four images covering all of them:

Mass Effect: Andromeda is still over a week away, so naturally EA has decided this is the perfect time to release the the launch trailer. Strange timings aside, the video does at least offer a whole bunch of new footage from the campaign, as well as a few brief glimpses at what I assume is going to be the main antagonist.
So if you're interested in seeing what Mass Effect: Andromeda will bring on March 21st you'll find the launch trailer down below. And don't worry about spoilers as there are so many cuts its almost impossible to figure out what in the world is going on. Have a look:
Slime-san, a fast-paced platformer starring a sentient blob of goo, is coming to PC on April 7th

Slime-san is a rather unique looking fast-paced platformer starring a sentient blob of goo trying to escape from a giant worm's stomach. While the setting might be utterly bizarre, Slime-san brings with it some genuinely interesting mechanics. Since our lovely hero is a slime he's able to crawl through cracks in walls, but also use his own goop in order to speed up or slow down, which should go a long way towards making some of the more precise maneuvers actually manageable.
If you're wondering what this sort of madness looks like in gameplay terms you'll find the main trailer down below. I would recommend turning up the sound slightly because the chiptune music is surprisingly catchy! Anyway, have a look:
