Creative Destructions has released a trailer for their latest IS Defense game

Do you remember Hatred, the game that marketed itself as an extremely offensive poke at modern civilization and our sensibilities only to launch as a boring and uninspired twin-stick shooter?

Well, the developers Destructive Creation are at it again with another game designed solely to sell based on controversy. This time around its IS Defense, a game that just might be crazy and explosive enough to be fun. Here's the trailer:

The Flame In The Flood is an indie rogue-lite survival game based around river travel

The Flame in the Flood is an indie rogue-lite survival game that pits you against the flooded landscape of post-societal America. With food, medicine and worthwhile building materials in short supply you will need to constantly move downstream while evading predators, natural disasters and insanity as you attempt to survive in a world that isn't very interested in helping.

After going through a successful Kickstarter and Early Access campaign The Flame in the Flood is just about ready for its February 24th launch on the PC, Mac and Xbox One. Here's the trailer that accompanied the announcement and a bit more information:

American Truck Simulator now has a free demo

If someone told me a few years ago to try out a game that's all about being an honest, law-abiding trucker I would have probably burst in to laughter. Nowadays I ask which trucks are available...

You might think I'm being facetious but the Truck Simulator series has been an absolute joy to me. Its simple to grasp, engaging, yet extremely relaxing making it a great way to unwind alongside a podcast or two after having a rough day. 

And if you need further convincing, American Truck Simulator has released a free demo today so if you want to experience the glorious life of a virtual trucker now's your chance. Here's the trailer as well:

Telltale's The Walking Dead: Michonne is releasing this February

Telltale's The Walking Dead: Season 1 is in many ways the game that saved the story-focused adventure genre from certain extinction. Its combination of believable characters, mature storytelling and the inclusion of the all-popular zombies resulted in a game that became a classic the moment it released.

If after finishing Season 2 you found yourself itching for more I have some good news because Telltale has recently announced that their mini series titled The Walking Dead: Michonne will be premiering on February 23rd. Here's the trailer:

If you participated in the previous beta tests you will find a number of new additions and changes in the open beta as the developers have been hard at work patching, introducing and polishing features based on community feedback. Here's the full list of changes, courtesy of Sekuiya who painstakingly typed all of this out from PS4 screenshots:

Frozen Synapse 2 has been announced alongside a new screenshot

The original Frozen Synapse might be one of the most unique and well made strategy games in the "recent" years. The fact that both players take their turns simultaneously adds an immense amount of depth as you have to consider both your plans and those of your opponent's. In short, it was and still is a really fun game that's well worth the time and effort it takes to "git gud" at it.

And if you've managed to master the small-ish levels of Frozen Synapse I have some exciting news to tell you because Frozen Synapse 2 has just been announced and its going to be focused around open world tactics.

My overview of the changes and features coming with today's Overwatch patch

After an unusually long wait the Overwatch beta has finally returned, bringing with it a lot of exiting new additions and an even bigger amount of disappointment as many people have once again realized that there is no key awaiting in their inbox.

The new features I'm talking about are updates to the player progression system, a new co-op vs AI mode, a new game mode called Control, two new maps and a bunch of mutators/custom gameplay options for private games. Here's the developer update video along with my brief overview of the changes:
