Space Hulk: Deathwing screenshot featuring a giant genestealer fighting a Space Marine

For those of you that might not be aware, Space Hulk: Deathwing recently had a closed beta featuring a couple of hours of alien-obliterating gameplay. Unfortunately things didn't end up working out quite as amazingly as people expected, mostly due to numerous bugs, performance issues, and some rather... questionable design choices.

Even after playing for a couple of hours it was obvious that Space Hulk: Deathwing is not yet ready for its official launch, which is why I'm very glad to say that its release date has now been postponed to December 14. The reason behind this decision, as you would expect, is the wish to fix most of the annoying issues that plagued the closed beta version. But rather than simply repeat what the developers themselves have said, here's the full quote from the announcement:

Mass Effect: Andromeda image of the Pathfinder standing no the Moon

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:

Nier: Automata screenshot of a boss battle

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 official artwork

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 screenshot showcasing the lovely visuals

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's Agent 47 dressed up as Santa Claus

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: Blades of the Shogun official artwork

[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:
