Dark Souls 1 might genuinely be my favorite game ever made. Its not perfect, and it is a bit cruel to new players, but if you can get past its one of the most compelling and complex action RPGs ever made, with enough depth to its combat to keep you coming back for more every few months.
Which is why I'm delighted to tell you that the Golden Joystick Store is currently offering Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition for free to EU/UK residents. Here's how to grab it:
[Update]: Mere minutes after posting this, the promotion has ended. I'll leave the article up just in case Golden Joystick decides to restart it during the next couple of days.

Just Cause 3 has had a rocky launch, to put things lightly, with many people (including me) having annoyingly long load times, random but severe FPS drops and a whole host of other issues.
Things are looking up, however, as the now available PC update promises to improve load times, fix memory leaks as well as various other crashes and annoyances. Here's the short, but important, list of patch notes:

If you were looking forward to some The Division post launch content I bring both good and bad news. The good news is that all of the free updates, of which two have been announced so far, will be available simultaneously for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
The bad news is that Ubisoft has recently announced that the first two paid expansions will start with one month of Xbox One exclusivity before being released for the PC and PS4. If you're wondering what exactly you're missing out on here's a brief rundown of the paid DLCs:

The Fable Legends open beta was recently delayed until spring though Lionhead announced that they would be accepting 100,000 PC and Xbox One players in to the closed beta over the coming months. By all accounts, it seemed that Fable Legends was chugging along nicely.

After investing far too many hours in to The Division open beta my main issue with the game was how quickly you could blow through the content and how limited the arsenal seemed to be.
If you share similar concerns you'll be delighted to hear that according to itsgamerdoc from Reddit The Division is set to launch with 26 missions and 138 weapons to toy around with. Here's a short overview of what exactly was found:
