Hob - An Exploration Focused Adventure Game From The Makers Of Torchlight

This announcement comes from the recent PSX but despite all of the Playstation branding surrounding it, Hob will be launching simultaneously on the PC as well.
Hob is an exploration-adventure game described by the developers as a "Rubik's cube collapsed in on itself". You will need to solve puzzles and defeat monsters in order to open up more areas of the game but with every shift of the map even previous locations might change so you're encouraged to explore the world rather than beeline for the end.
Nexus Mods Website May Have Had A Security Breach - Change Your Password

Nexus Mods is one of the best, if not the best, places to grab mods for pretty much any game that supports them. Not to mention that their Mod Manager works far better than the one you get with Steam Workshop.
So its really sad news hearing that Nexus Mods may have had its user database breached. Nothing is certain as of right now but just in case it ends up being true I'd suggest you change both your Nexus Mods password as well as any account that might share the same one.
Ubisoft Reveals VR Exclusive Game - Eagle Flight

Just let that sink in for a moment. We live in a world where a AAA publisher is making a game exclusive for virtual reality headsets. It is amazing to see how far gaming, and technology itself, have gotten over the years.
Ubisoft's VR game Eagle Flight will have you flying across a rather hole-ridden Paris on the wings of an eagle. It seems like a fairly experimental game but as long as the price is right I would love to be able to fly around/crash headfirst in to buildings.
Full Throttle Remaster Announced - I Might Have Magical Powers

- in News
I've barely seen anyone speak about Day of the Tentacle or Full Throttle for years and now both are suddenly getting remasters. While the Day of the Tentacle announcement caught me by surprise I'm pretty sure I summoned Full Throttle by talking about how great a Full Throttle remaster would be. I mean that's the only obvious answer here, Occam's razor and all that.
While I think of ways to use my new-found powers for good it would be wise to show you the announcement message over at Double Fine's website.

Hitman was initially supposed to release around this time but was delayed in order to give it an extra few months of polish so I'm quite interested to see how this beta test will fare.
The beta phase for the PS4 will begin on February 12th and a week later, on February 19th for the PC. Along with the announcement came a short trailer, embedded below.
Dying Light: The Following - 10 Minutes Of New Gameplay

Before we move on the gameplay video its important to note that Dying Light: The Following is getting a price increase on December 8, the reason being that the DLC is far larger than was originally planned. The price will be going up from $15 to $20 so if you were planning to get it make sure you do it before December 8.
With that said here's the gameplay video and you can decide for yourself whether the price increase is warranted or not.
[Rumor] Final Fantasy X & X-2 Coming To Steam

As with any rumor take everything you read here with a grain of salt. While I don't think the leak is fake (given that you can check yourself) it still doesn't mean that the games are coming, or if they are, coming any time soon. Halo 3 showed up in a similar leak a while back yet never appeared on PC.
With all of that said, a couple of people over at Neogaf complied a list of games they found by digging through Steam's help website. Most interesting of which are Final Fantasy X & X-2 as well as the sequel to the immensely popular (how do I even own this?) and amazing Bad Rats!
