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

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.

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!
Paragon - A New MOBA From Epic Games Now Has A Trailer And Gameplay Footage

- in Previews
I'll be perfectly honest here, I don't think the world needs more MOBAs right now but at least Epic is willing to try something different with Paragon. Unlike the more RTS nature of other MOBAs Paragon is mixing in some shooter elements in there as well so you'll control heroes in a third person POV and aim much like how you would in a shooter.
You can take a look at the cinematic trailer here and if you're interested in actual gameplay I've embedded the short clip below.

A lot of people that read this today might not have been old enough to to play Day of the Tentacle when it released back in 1993, I certainly wasn't. When I finally did get around to it I found a game with extremely funny dialogue and even better voice acting, truly one of LucasArts best.
And now after months of teasing us with a few screenshots here and there, Day of the Tentacle Remastered has a trailer showcasing improvements in both graphics and audio quality.
