The Witcher 3 has always been a rather colorful game, a fact one could easily notice by climbing onto Roach and simply taking a stroll through the countryside, but from what I can see the Blood and Wine expansion is taking things a step further.
There are fields littered with blooming red flowers, rolling green hills completely untouched by war, an endless sea of beautiful vineyards and equally beautiful maidens, but also hordes of bloodthirsty vampires because the universe has decided that Geralt should never have a moment's rest. Feast your eyes on the trailer below:

After the announcement of Windows 10 and Microsoft's push for a unified storefront and branding between their two gaming divisions many have started to wonder whether this means we'll get to see the modern Halo games make their way to PC.
While this is clearly not the real deal, the announcement of Forge - Halo 5: Guardians Edition for Windows 10 is exciting news indeed as this might mean that PC players will be able to enjoy custom Halo 5 maps and mods with improved graphics, increased resolution, and naturally, keyboard & mouse support.

RockPaperShotgun recently reported on a rumor that they heard from a guy, who heard from another guy that Croteam is working on The Talos Principle 2... yeah, not the most credible of sources.
As it turns out, however, all of it was completely true and the Serious Sam developers Croteam are indeed working on a sequel for their philosophical puzzle game The Talos Principle, as confirmed by their official Twitter:
Blizzard has released a whole bunch of stats from the Overwatch Open Beta

Blizzard came out earlier this month and said that almost 10 million players found their way into the Overwatch Open Beta, and in total managed to spent around 81 million hours roaming its 12 maps. That's 8 hours spent per person!
While those are certainly some impressive numbers I would've preferred to see stats on the most popular heroes, numbers of Bastions brutally dismantled, average map times, and so forth. Well... as luck would have it now I can because Blizzard has just released a massive infographic filled with all sorts of interesting stats from the Open Beta.
Have a look, though make sure to prepare your scrolling finger as this thing is fairly large:

Hard Reset is a cyberpunk FPS that's all about vaporizing hordes upon hordes of robotic enemies with completely over-the-top weaponry, overuse of explosions, and now with the newly added cyber-katana as well.
The remastered edition, or Hard Reset Redux as its called, brings with it visual and audio improvements, new enemies, more difficulty modes and a general re-balancing of the entire game, a new dash ability to further speed up combat, and finally, the above mentioned electrified katana.
Here's a 10 minute long gameplay video the developers released yesterday to show off all of the new and fancy features:

Gearbox will be rolling out a whole bunch of new characters for their FPS/MOBA hybrid Battleborn over the next few months, starting with the combat-orientated support Alani.
She hails from a planet almost entirely cowered by oceans, and as such most her powers revolve around the use of water to either dish out pain onto the enemies, or to heal her fellow Battleborn. More details, and an official hero preview video will be available on the 24th, but for now, here's what we do know:

You would think that simply knowing Overwatch launches on the 24th would be enough, but Blizzard has gone a step ahead and detailed their whole release schedule down to the very minute, a move that's most likely going to save them a whole lot of sleep as Overwatch fans have proven to be quite... restless since the Open Beta ended.
Overwatch will be launching for all platforms and regions at the same time, and if you're wondering when exactly that will be for your country I would suggest you lower your eyes to the gigantic image below, it has all of the information:
