Being a PC gamer for the majority of my life I have to admit I know very little about the Disgaea series other than its a bunch of extremely well done RPGs with a good dash of humor thrown in.
But even knowing its a series quite light in tone didn't manage to prepare me for the sheer ridiculousness that is the Disgaea PC release trailer. Take a look, you won't regret it:

After being successfully Kickstarted in a single day back in 2014 the indie time-bending FPS Superhot is now getting ready for a full release.
You can expect it to arrive on February 25th for the PC, Mac and Linux platforms with the Xbox One version following a couple of weeks later. Here's the rather stylish trailer that came along with the announcement:

Ubisoft extended The Division's closed beta test yesterday in order to ensure that the latecomers had a chance to play it before the gates were finally closed until the March 8th launch.
However, according to a post on Xbox Italy's official Facebook page it seems that The Division will be entering open beta from the 16th to 21st of February so even if you didn't get lucky enough with the closed beta you still might have a chance. The post was promptly deleted but Eurogamer managed to capture the image:

- in Indie Games
The past two days have been rather strange for me as far as indie games are concerned. First I came upon a Dark Souls inspired ARPG starring a mouse in shining armor fighting off hordes of spiders and today its a martial arts pigs fending off hordes of wolves using hog-fu.
Despite the ridiculous premise Iron Snout, the game in question, turned out to be a really fun and challenging fast paced button-mashy fighting game. Here's the trailer so you can see for yourself what its all about:
"The Shroud" Is A New Faction Coming To Grey Goo On February 1st

Grey Goo is an asymmetric base-building RTS starring three unique races each with their own tactics, ways of expansion, unit composition and overall gameplay style. While I never had the chance to play it myself most of the reviews I've gone over seem to agree on one thing, Grey Goo needs a lot more content given its price point.
The developers were seemingly well aware of this issue as the "Descent of the Shroud" update was announced yesterday and set to launch today, February 1st at 12pm CST / 6pm UTC. Best part about it all? Its completely free! Here's the announcement trailer:

To say that the recent closed beta for The Division has been in high demand would be one hell of an understatement. There were so many people who signed up for the beta that Ubisoft decided to increase the player capacity not once, but twice already.
If you are among those that got in yesterday and barely had a time to experience The Division I have some good news as Ubisoft has announced that the beta will be extended until Tuesday, February 2nd, 12pm CET / 6am EST / 3am PST. Here's the announcement message:

It was announced a little while back that XCOM 2 would be launching alongside multiple mods made by the very talented Long War mod team but it was never specified how many of them there would be and what they would entail.
But after a recent interview Eurogamer's Chris Bratt did with Jake Solomon from Firaxis and Johnny Lumpkin from Long War Studios we now know that the three mods coming with XCOM 2's February 5th launch are a new SMG weapon, a Muton Centurion mini boss and a new set of leadership perks.
