Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter gameplay preview

Its kind of ironic, but the main reason I've gotten interested in the detective-game genre is because of Aviary Attorney, a bird-based lawyering game with a heavy emphasis on investigations, and more than a handful of jabs at the genre as a whole.

Whichever the reason, however, the first bits of gameplay footage from the upcoming Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter look rather enticing to me, though it could also be because of Watson's magnificent mustache which is making me quite envious. Have a look, but not at the mustache, it might get aggressive:

Starcraft 2 mod aims to re-create Diablo 2

Even though Diablo 2 is still perfectly playable, and in some ways perhaps more polished than Diablo 3, its still intriguing to see someone attempt to modernize its graphics and mechanics.

While the Curse of Tristram mod is still under heavy construction, the lone developer behind it released a rather promising gameplay trailer that showcases some of the locations from Diablo 2, and an Assassin whose legs seem to double as helicopter blades. Have a look:

Dark Souls 3 review from a Souls veteran

Ever since I got my hands on Dark Souls 3 I was simply transfixed. All of my waking hours have been spent in an endless pursuit of souls to feed my boundless hunger for fancy new armor sets, and despite praising the Sun I don't remember the last time I've seen it. I have become something alike the hollows that roam the land, utterly consumed by Dark Souls 3.

At this point its fairly well known that Dark Souls 3 is good, but I don't think simply 'good' does it justice given that I am currently thinking long and hard on whether Dark Souls 1 is still my favorite game of all time. So what exactly makes Dark Souls 3 so compelling, and how does it match up against the entirety of the extended Souls family?

Final Fantasy XV Director would like to make the PC version far superior

We've learned a week ago that the PC version of Final Fantasy XV is not in development, a fact that should surprise no one given that FFXV has been in development hell for around a decade now, before the time when Japanese companies took PC gaming seriously.

However, there is some hope for the PC version as the recent interview with Final Fantasy XV's director Hajime Tabata showed that he is quite enthusiastic about not just developing a PC version, but making it far superior both in terms of quality and technology. Here's the full quote:

Offworld Trading Company is a economy based RTS

Offworld Trading Company showed up on Early Access as a quirky little game with an interesting premise, to dominate your opponents not through military might, but through some good old fashioned capitalism. 

That was over a year ago, however. The Offworld Trading Company of today is magnitudes bigger and more content rich than its humble start would ever indicate, and most importantly, is just about ready to launch for real on April 28. If you're interested in how all of that looks in action, the developers hold frequent streams showing off the gameplay, so have a look:

Dark Souls 3 tutorial and first area boss

Given that I'm still busy finishing up my Dark Souls 3 review, I figured I would give you a brief glimpse at what exactly all the fuss is about.

The video below represents the initial 20 minutes of Dark Souls 3, including the first boss and two challenging mini-bosses that can be found in the 'tutorial' area. I've tried to keep spoilers down to a minimum, though you will obviously see the boss and his mechanics.
