After significantly improving football and hockey, Psyonix is now attempting to make basketball a lot more exciting by adding rocket-powered ninja cards to the whole ordeal.
The free Rocket League Hoops DLC is coming on April 26, and in order to celebrate the addition of a new game mode the team has made Rocket League free to play throughout the weekend.

Ori and the Blind Forest is one of those cutesy platformers that are designed to make you think you're in for a lovely trip through some great-looking scenery before bringing down the hammer, and brutally destroying your hope as you endlessly tumble into death-pits. Most importantly, however, its a rather fun game.
Its soon going to become even better as the Definitive Edition has finally received its PC release date, April 27. You can expect to see new areas filled with even more lore to immerse yourself in, new abilities to enjoy, and a whole new variety of pits to slip into. Besides the new content there are a couple of extra difficulty modes, an easy mode that's there to simply let you experience all Ori has to offer, as well as a hard mode that's there to ensure you experience the underside of every death-trap Ori has to offer.
But enough yapping from me, here's the recently posted trailer for the Definitive Edition:

This wouldn't be the first time Mirror's Edge Catalyst was delayed, but much like then I consider any rescheduling due to EA/Dice wanting to ensure its quality as a very welcome thing, even if it means we have to wait a little bit longer.
Thankfully, the delay this time around isn't a couple of months, but only two weeks. The new release date for North America has been set for June 7th, with June 9th reserved for the rest of the world. As for the reason why, the Design Director Erik Odeldahl had this to say:

After drip-feeding us cards for the better part of two months now, Blizzard has finally decided to unleash everything they have, first by announcing all of the nerfs, and now by revealing every single Whispers of the Old Gods card.
You can find the full list over at the official Facebook page, but its rather messy and unorganized, so I'd recommend going with Hearthpwn, they've made the cards presentable and easy to search by class.

[Update]: I've done a detailed review on Battlefleet Gothic: Armada, and if you're interested I welcome you to check it out by pressing here.
There have not been many good Warhammer games in recent history, mostly on account of Games Workshop lending out their license to basically anyone that's coherent enough to ask, but thankfully Battlefleet Gothic: Armada is a lovely exception, as I've come to realize in my adventures through the closed beta.
So it is with joy in my heart that I'm able to tell you that Battlefleet Gothic: Armada will be releasing on Steam in less than an hour! Here's the overly-serious, yet completely cheesy release trailer:

Ever since the first announcement it was obvious that Blizzard is going to put in a lot of effort to ensure that Tracer makes a smooth transition from Overwatch to Heroes of the Storm, and judging by the two recently released videos, they seem to have done so admirably.
While I tend not to cover simple character additions, Tracer's recent trailer might quite possibly be the best one Blizzard has ever done for HOTS, beating even such classics as Azmodunk, the supreme ruler of the basketball court. Have a look, its well worth the minute or so:

Edmund McMillen, the creator of The Binding of Isaac and overall biggest tease among indie developers, has finally revealed the list of features we can expect to see in the upcoming Afterbirth+ DLC/expansion.
You will find the list right below, but do bear in mind that this is currently a rough estimate of the features that will be making their way to the release version as some may be cut due to balance reasons, and others added because the developers envisioned yet another poop-based trinket. Have a gander:

Bretonnia has been in Total War: Warhammer since the very first gameplay videos surfaced, but it was alluded to be nothing more than a recolor of the Empire, and mostly there to add flavor to your campaign playthrough.
Things have changed, however, and the fans of flamboyant medieval knights among you will be immensely happy to hear that Bretonnia will be joining the roster of playable multiplayer factions for Total War: Warhammer. To celebrate such an announcement the developers have released a rather long show-match between the Chalice knights of Bretonnia, and the undead hordes of Sylvania. Have a look:

With only a couple of days left until Whispers of the Old Gods finally arrives to Hearthstone Blizzard has opted to reveal all of the cards that will be brutally mauled gently tapped by the patented nerfbat.
In true Blizzard fashion a portion of the cards was handled so expertly I'm genuinely impressed by the development team, while the other portion was done so terribly I'd be genuinely impressed if these cards ever see play again. Here's the full list of nerfs, and if you're interested in Blizzards reasoning behind each change, head over to the official website:

I've spent a good chunk of time this weekend playing the PC open beta for Doom 2016, and while I certainly had a good deal of fun with it, its not the sort of multiplayer experience that I find very compelling.
But who knows, you might just find it to be the best thing since self-slicing bread. In either case, here's some pure gameplay footage featuring the two Warpath maps, a whole bunch of weapons, and the Revenant demon transformation:
