Starcraft 2 holiday event brings double exp as well as hourly tournaments

Starcraft 2: Legacy of the Void might have a really cliche story but on the gameplay front it brought in a lot of improvements such as automated tournaments, co-op game modes, nifty cosmetic rewards and a whole bunch more.

So if you were ever interested in improving yourself in SC2 or just wanted to try out some co-op with a friend now would be the time because there is a double experience event going on as well as hourly tournaments that will allow you to test your mettle at any point in the day.

Sleeping Dogs spinoff game Triad Wars is shutting down next month

Sleeping Dogs was by all accounts a very good game, an open world GTA "clone" that had an interesting narrative, some great brawler combat and a giant map to explore, all the fun stuff. So I wasn't surprised when I heard it would be getting a spin-off game but for some reason that spin-off, Triad Wars, ended up being a "not really multiplayer" multiplayer game set in a small chunk of the Sleeping Dogs world.

Despite the game being a disappointment for Sleeping Dogs fans its still a sad thing to see the Triad Wars team announce that they will be closing down the game next month, on January 20th.

Final Fantasy VI mod replaces the ugly bi-linear blurry filter

A lot of Final Fantasy games have recently been ported, or announced, for the PC and most of them look like faithful adaptations of the original games. The Final Fantasy VI port is sadly not one of those games, instead it comes with completely re-done graphics that somehow manage to look worse than those found in the SNES version.

The most annoying thing of all was the smoothing filter that was applied to everything making the whole game a blurry mess. Thankfully, a modder by the name of Nyxo has managed to remove the filter and bring the game's graphics slightly closer to the original ones.

The PC version of the enhanced edition has been out for a while now and it is a massive improvement over the base game, especially in terms of storytelling which was on the bad side of cheesy when Original Sin first launched.

And now the upgraded version has arrived to Mac, Linux and SteamOS along with numerous performance improvements that will be added to the PC version as well. RPG fans rejoice!

And despite the release date looming ever closer the system requirements are some of the biggest pieces of news that the Witness team released in recent time. Here's what type of a rig you will need:

Aviary Attorney is a lawyer/investigation game with some beautifully hand-drawn art and an interesting story

I've been following Aviary Attorney for a little while now and from the previews I knew I would most likely enjoy it. What I didn't expect is that I would be so enthralled I would complete it in single sitting.

Aviary Attorney is a visually stunning game that follows the stories of Monsieur Falcon and his witty partner Sparrowson as they take on court cases in 19th century Paris and try their very best to bumble towards justice. The gameplay is split up in to two parts, in one you gather clues and interview individuals related to your case and in the other you present that information in a court of law in an effort to free your client from guilt.

These are today's steam sale recommendations, dated for December 22

Much like how it went down last time the Steam Sale Recommendations are here to showcase you the best deals and most interesting games available in today's Steam Winter Sale. 

Given that this Steam Sale doesn't actually have sales spread across different days I will focus on the first two sections which rotate daily and as such will give you a nice and broad spectrum of games. Naturally, if I come upon a deal that isn't a part of the first two sections but I believe is well worth your time, rest assured I will let you know.

With that said, let's start with the first day of the Steam Winter sale:
