After being rumored and teased for well over a year now, Bioware has finally released an extended gameplay trailer for Mass Effect: Andromeda. And even though it may be a bit over-edited and scripted in order to fit the narrative, I must admit its actually pretty damn intriguing.
So if you're interested in seeing a glimpse of what Mass Effect: Andromeda has to offer, you'll find the recently posted gameplay video down below. But before you dive in, do bear in mind that the footage you're going to be watching is from the early alpha, and as such there are some elements of... questionable quality in there as well. Have a look:

After being slated for a rather nebulous "at some point in 2017" launch, Platinum Games' upcoming aRPG NieR: Automata now finally has a proper release date. You can expect to see it on March 7 in North America and March 10 in Europe and Australia, and best of all, the PC version will arrive at the same time as the PS4 one!
As for the trailer this announcement arrived with... well, let's just say that it won't make a whole lot of sense to you if you haven't played the original Nier. That said, have a look, perhaps you will be able to deduce something I could not:
Assassin's Creed 3 is currently available for free on the Ubisoft website

Ubisoft is currently celebrating their 30th anniversary, and in order to get everyone else to join in on the fun they have been offering a free game each month. Last month it was the rather amazing Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and this month its the somewhat mediocre (but equally free!) Assassin's Creed 3.
In order to grab it you simply need to go to the Ubisoft website and click the shiny "Get your free game" button. Naturally, you will need Uplay in order to actually play your copy of Assassin's Creed 3, but outside of that there is no catch or hidden requirement.
Shadow Tactics Gameplay Showcase - Storming the castle

Shadow Tactics, in the most basic terms, is a Commandos inspired strategy game that's all about sneaking around, taking out enemies with carefully concocted plans, and then desperately trying to fix the resulting mess once those plans inevitably fail.
And since that description doesn't really do it justice, allow me to show you a rather lengthy gameplay video featuring the very first level from Shadow Tactics. So if you're interested in seeing what Shadow Tactics is really all about, have a look:
Hitman will be getting a special "Holiday Hoarders" mission on December 13

If you would like to get into the Christmas spirit, but don't feel like stopping your murder spree just yet, worry not as IO-Interactive has you cowered! In "Holiday Hoarders", the upcoming free mission for Hitman, you will be given a chance to combine the two by skulking around Paris as a very, very naughty Santa Claus.
Since the sight of Agent 47 in a full Santa costume (and this includes the bushy beard and magnificent mustache) is downright hilarious, allow me show you the recently posted trailer. Have a look, and I dare you to try and not sing along:
Shadow Tactics, a Commandos inspired strategy game, is now available on PC and consoles

[Update]: Shadow Tactics is getting a standalone expansion in late 2021 - Aiko's Choice!
Shadow Tactics, in the most basic terms, is a Commandos inspired strategy game that's all about sneaking around, taking out enemies with carefully concocted plans, and then desperately trying to fix the resulting mess once those plans inevitably fail. As you'll note in my review I had a great deal of fun with it, and as such I would to let you know that Shadow Tactics is now available for both the PC and consoles.
But rather than just listen to me ramble on, here's the recently posted trailer. It should give you a good idea of the sort of mood Shadow Tactics is trying to achieve, as well as the basic gist of what the gameplay's all about. Have a look:
Worms W.M.D is getting new levels and weapons later today as a part of a free update

[Update]: A brand new Worms game has now been announced - Worms 2020.
Worms W.M.D in its current state features around 80 weapons, some of them new, and some of them lifted straight from the old school classic Worms: Armageddon. But if that just doesn't sound like enough, you'll be glad to hear that the upcoming update will bring even more of them.
The rather oddly named "The Liberation", oddly named for a game that revolves mostly around blowing up both friend and foe anyway, will bring with it four new weapons, as well as a new vehicle in the form of the drillboat... I'm sure you can guess what that one does. There's also going to be a couple of new singleplayer maps to test your worm-slaying abilities, and for those of you that prefer to play worm dress up instead, there are also 12 new customization items to make your troops the easiest target prettiest in all the land.
