World of Warcraft: Legion Gameplay Showcase - A quick run through the Maw of Souls on Mythic+

Mythic Keystone Dungeons are the hardest form of 5-man content currently present in World of Warcraft: Legion. Their scaling difficulty is more than enough to provide a challenge for even the most seasoned of veterans, but at the same time they offer some of the best gear you can possibly obtain, so its definitely worth giving them a shot!
If you're wondering what these Mythic Keystone Dungeons might look like, and whether this is something you can even attempt yourself, here's brief gameplay video that showcases how me and my group managed to demolish Maw of Souls so hard we ended up with three chests at the end. In other words, don't worry about the difficulty and just throw yourself in there - its pretty fun! Anyway, here's the video:
Endless Legend's seafaring expansion Tempest is now available on Steam
- By Ash
- in News
We're currently around two years after the original launch of Endless Legend and Amplitude's 4X strategy game is still showing no signs of stopping. If anything, it seems to be picking up its pace given that the previous Shifters expansion released back in April, and already we have a brand new one in the form of Tempest.
So what does Tempest bring with it? To put it simply: naval warfare, Morgawr - a brand new race of demonic beasts that come from the abyssal depths, and as you can probably guess from its name alone, a comprehensive weather system. While there is no gameplay trailer to showcase all of these new mechanics, Amplitude did recently post a rather intriguing lore orientated video. Have a look:

If you feel like your life needs more random decapitations and hundreds of people screaming battlecries for absolutely no reason, then you're in luck as Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is free on Steam for this weekend. Simply head on over to Chivalry's Steam page, press the giant green button that says Play Now, and have fun for the next two days!
However, if you've never actually paid any attention to Chivalry and you're now wondering what in the world is it even about, here's the relatively old (but still pretty informative) launch trailer:
Hitman is heading over to Japan on October 31st for the Season 1 finale

After going through a couple of shaky periods, but also times of pure brilliance, the end of Hitman's first season is nearly upon us. Once October 31st finally rolls around we'll be able to accompany Agent 47 on his rather formal business trip to Hokkaido, Japan.
While there isn't much information available right now, what I can tell you is that we will be infiltrating a hyper-exclusive GAMA private hospital and resort in order to take out two high-priority targets. Expect to see Zen gardens, organic sushi restaurants, traditional Japanese hot springs, as well as a whole host of technological marvels.
If you're wondering what all of this might look like, here's a brief teaser:
The "Wang-tastic" Shadow Warrior 2 is now available on PC, and so far it seems to be pretty good

If you're a fan of old school shooters that focus on absolutely ridiculous weaponry, tons of explosions, and an even bigger amount of really crappy puns, you're in luck as the "Wang-tastic" Shadow Warrior 2 has just been released on PC. I've played it for around 20 minutes, so don't take this as a comprehensive review of any sort, but so far its been pretty damn good!
And for those of you that doubt me when I say that it contains an incredible amount of really, really bad 'Wang puns', just have a look at how cheesy the launch trailer is. Naturally, all of this is being done in good fun, so don't worry about the jokes interfering with all of the slaughter - that is still front and center! Anyway, enough rambling, here's the video:
Ion Hazzikostas, also known as Watcher, is taking up the mantle of World of Warcraft's Game Director
- By Ash
- in News
In a blog post that only recently came up, Tom Chilton has announced that he is stepping down from his position as World of Warcraft's Game Director in order to work on another "adventure within Blizzard". What exactly that means, nobody knows, but what we do know is that Ion Hazzikostas will be taking up the newly freed mantle of Game Director. If you're a long time World of Warcraft player but the name still doesn't sound familiar, you most likely know him by his forum alias Watcher (hence the eye-tastic C'thun image above), and more importantly, by his work on the continuously improving raid encounters.
You can read Chilton's full blog post by heading over to the Blizzard forums, but if you're just interested in the short version - here's a few choice quotes that should give you a general idea of the situation:
The strategy/card game hybrid Faeria has received its final major Early Access update
- By Ash
- in News
After going free-to-play back in August, it appears that Faeria is now taking the next big step towards an official release. What I mean by this is that the developers have just released the last major Early Access update in order to spend the next weeks and months polishing, bugfixing, and balancing Faeria in order to have it as spotless as it can be when it finally launches.
As for the update, it brings with it a new and reworked leveling system, emotes to mercilessly taunt communicate with your opponents, 15 new "mind-bending puzzles" to complete, as well as a whole bunch of balance, performance, and other tweaks. You can read the full, gigantic patch notes by heading over to the official website, but if you don't care about any of the new features and just want to see what cards are being changed - here's the list:
