The PC port of Final Fantasy 6 has some questionable art directions

One of the best Final Fantasy games as well as one of the best RPGs out there is finally coming to PC in an official capacity, hooray!!! Its a port of the mobile version whose graphics somehow look worse than the SNES ones... well, crap.

Despite how amazing FF6 is I still can't bring myself to be excited about the fact that this version of it is releasing on Steam on December 16th. I was so hopeful when I first talked about the potential FF6 PC version and now its been confirmed that we're getting the worst one out of the lot, what a sad piece of news.

CS:GO Winter Update brings new revolver and large balance changes.

Well this update came out of nowhere, and while I welcome its changes its still a bit strange Valve would push this update out only a short time before the the finale of a rather big tournament. There are a lot of far-reaching changes here and I can easily see the pros being thrown off balance.

The Winter Update is bringing us a new weapon, the R8 revolver, a reduction to pistol accuracy while moving, an increase in rifle recovery when it comes to long ranged bursting and a few more changes that will really shake up how the game plays. Here's a quick overview of the patch:

Starbound update brings a lot of improvements to the combat system

It feels like forever ago (in Internet years anyway) that Starbound launched in Early Access and while I've seen it updated many times, the patches never excited me enough to reinstall the game.

Today's patch is different story however. With the addition of new monsters and weapons, as well as a big rework of the combat system, Starbound is once again back on my radar. Here's what's being added:

Overwatch developer announced that all maps and heroes will be free post launch

These short developer updates are one of the best things Blizzard has decided to do in recent times. It always feels good knowing the developers understand your concerns and have plans to do something about them because even if it takes a while at least the complaints aren't falling on deaf ears.

And the same thing applies with the recently released Overwatch developer update (embedded below) where Jeff Kaplan, game director for Overwatch, briefly goes over recent hot topics and gives nice, concise answers.

The Nexus Mods security issues seem to be mostly solved

If you don't know what I'm talking about and want the full story head over to this article I've done yesterday, but long story short there was reasonable suspicion that Nexus Mods may have had a security breach and that user passwords were in danger.

Luckily, the problem was much smaller than expected though there was a security breach back in 2013. So if you haven't changed your password since July 22nd 2013 make sure you do so as soon as possible, even though it doesn't appear that anyone has gained anything of value out of the stolen database. If you're interested in specifics read on.

A special Afterbirth challenge run in honor of Mr. Iwata

I've said a lot of good things about Afterbirth in my The Binding Of Isaac: Afterbirth Review and now, after playing it for a month longer, I'm even happier with my purchase. It took everything I loved about Rebirth and built something great upon its foundations.

But just making a really good game wasn't enough apparently because the Afterbirth+ update has been announced, bringing with it mod support, new items, new enemies, a bestiary and a few features they didn't want to reveal just yet.

System Shock 3 has been announced though there is little information about it

That's it, that is literally the whole announcement. I wish I was joking but that's the extent of the information we know about System Shock 3 right now.

The one thing we do know is that its being made by Otherside Entertainment whom you might recognize from their successful Ultima Ascendant Kickstarter. While the company itself is relatively new they do have a bunch of developers that worked on the old Ultima and, you guessed it, System Shock games so if there's anyone that understands what makes System Shock 2 so good its probably going to be these guys.
