After playing the open beta one of my main issues with The Division was long term appeal and the fact that the content starts to feel a bit stale after you run it over and over again.
Thankfully, it seems that Ubisoft is well aware of these issues as they have announced a whole bunch of free and paid expansions, most of which are focused on extending the "end game". Here's the teaser trailer and what to expect in the coming months:

Paragon is an upcoming third person action MOBA developed by Epic Games and designed from the ground up to follow Dota 2's free to play model. In other words, all of the heroes are free and the cosmetics can be either bought with cash or simply earned through in-game means.
While Paragon might be completely free its early access beta is not, so if you want to be among the first to get in on the action you'll have to grab one of the three Packs filled with skins and other assorted trinkets. Here's how it works:

In a recent press event the folks behind No Man's Sky, Hello Games, announced a couple of new details about their upcoming space explorer.
The most important of which is the crazy release schedule that has No Man's Sky going live on June 21st in North America, June 22nd in Europe and Australia, and June 24th for the UK and the rest of the world. Other than setting a record for "most torrented game of the month" I'm not exactly sure what such a strangely staggered release is supposed to accomplish but then again I don't have a fancy suit.
Here's the info on the pricing & prepurchase offers:

If you're like me and you live in a bundle-less world because you always seem to have exactly 50% of the games thus rendering any discount you might get completely pointless, then I have some good news for you.
In a recent message sent to developers Valve has announced that the option of tiered bundle pricing is now available for use and already in effect for some bundles, such as the complete Valve pack which I can currently buy at ~50% off due to owning 50% of the games in there, as usual.

A PC version of the wacky Disgaea RPG series has been requested for years now but much to everyone's disappointment, when it finally arrived it did so alongside numerous performance problems and terrible framerate drops.
Thankfully, the developers have now come out with an update that should solve the majority of the problems. Here's what exactly got fixed and what NIS America is still working on:

The Windows 10 Store currently houses mostly mobile apps, a couple of AAA games and a whole lot of garbage but if a recent leak is to be believed that might be changing in the near future.
According to a list found in the Package.StoreAssociation.xml file in Gears of War: Ultimate Edition there are a whole bunch of games, apps and "things" coming to the Windows 10 Store, including the much anticipated Scalebound whose PC version still hasn't been confirmed. Here's the whole list, courtesy of Reddit user no1dead:

After releasing an uninspired piece of DLC for the otherwise excellent Chivalry: Medieval Warfare the developers Torn Banner Studios slowly went silent.
The reason for their withdrawal, as we've found out today, is that they are working on a brand new game titled Mirage: Arcane Warfare which takes takes the medieval fighting style from Chivalry and spices it up with some fireballs. Here's the short teaser trailer:

Despite not having enough time to go through the 7 week orientation course to get good at Europa Universalis IV it still remains one of my favorite strategy games out there, for the simple reason that it doesn't compromise in order to appeal to everyone and instead just focuses on being the best game it can be.
It also helps that Europa Universalis IV receives frequent high quality DLCs (and some complete fluff) that have improved upon almost every aspect of gameplay, from warfare to colonization and now even maritime activities with the the upcoming Mare Nostrum (Our Sea in Latin) expansion. Here's the trailer and a bit more information:
