With only one day left before the release of Overwatch Blizzard has decided to put the hype-train into overdrive and release the final animated short, for now anyway.
While the classic Blizzard animation quality is present within this one as well, its scope and overall themes are a lot less interesting than the previous ones, so adjust your expectations slightly. With that preamble done, enjoy the show:
Hitman: Blood Money might be getting a modern remaster once the current Hitman game is done

Blood Money is the Hitman game that introduced me to the series, and as such will forever remain as one of my favorite games of all times, a title that is well deserved given how much depth and complexity there is to each mission. However, while it truly is an excellent game its also an incredibly clunky one with controls that are... representative of its age to put it simply.
If you share my view and would love nothing more than to see it improved upon I have some rather exciting news as IO Interactive recently said on Twitter that they "want to do it justice", though it would have to wait until the current Hitman is done. Here's the quote:
You Should Try: Darkest Dungeon - A brutally difficult turn-based RPG

"You Should Try" is a series of articles where I'll showcase you a game I really enjoy while explaining what exactly makes it fun. This can be any game, new or old, indie or AAA, the only requirement is that it has to be something I've found myself greatly enjoying and in need of sharing with the world.
Today I think you should try Darkest Dungeon, a brutally difficult turn-based RPG that features numerous roguelike elements, a gorgeous art style filled with Lovecraftian horrors, and a story that manages to stick to the back-lines, yet still draw you ever-forward in an effort to plunder its secrets.

Even though Scott Cawthon, the main man behind the Five Nighty at Freddy's series, said multiple times now that it would all be over with FNaF 4 it seems that he still has plenty of stories to tell because Five Nights at Freddy's 5, or simply known as Sister Location, is set to arrive this Fall.
While there is very little gameplay information available right now there is a trailer filled with a whole menagerie of new animatronic abominations. Have a look, though don't stare too hard, they might get zesty if you do:
FPS / RTS hybrid Savage Resurrection has suddenly appeared on Steam Early Access

Back in March S2Games briefly teased their latest project, a supposed sequel to the rather awesome FPS / RTS hybrid Savage in which fearsome beast races clashed with the more technologically advanced humans.
As it turns out, however, the announcement wasn't for Savage 3 but rather for a remake of the original game, a fact that only came to light today when Savage Resurrection appeared on Steam without so much as a peep. If you're wondering what this new/old Savage is all about, here's a brief trailer to enlighten you:
New Witcher 3: Blood and Wine trailer showcases the colorful landscapes, and the vampires that stalk it

- in News
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:
Halo 5's Forge map creation tool is coming over to PC, and its going to be completely free

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.
