When I set out to check my email today I didn't expect I'd see a piece of news that would simultaneously make me both depressed as well as oddly happy.
That Dragon, Cancer is a game that takes you through the terrifying experience of having a child with cancer from the perspective of the parents that actually had to go through it themselves. The one happy note in all of this is that its coming out on January 12th, Joel's birthday, as a digital memorial for him and his struggles.

Aviary Attorney was supposed to release last week, December 18 to be specific, but due to a rather big bug with the save system it was delayed until recently. Given that many have waited over a year for it to arrive since its Kickstarter campaign concluded the extra few days passed easily.

I was really in to Awesomenauts a year or so ago, it being one of the few MOBA games I can play without a full team of friends and still feel like I'm actually accomplishing anything, but I slowly phased it out as other games came along. What's great however is that even though I forgot it exists, the community in Awesomenauts has been apparently stable enough to warrant an expansion.
So I am happy to let you know that Awesomenauts - Overdrive has been announced bringing with it better graphics, three new heroes, better matchmaking and server stability, a new map and finally, a community designed hero.

The "Tales" series crossed over to the PC relatively recently, a few months ago to be exact, with Tales of Zestiria, an open world RPG with some brawler elements mixed in. While it was a great game I can't say I expected a sequel to be announced this quickly.
But here it is. In a video released today Bandai Namco announced Tales of Berseria for the PC and PS4. There isn't much information to on as of right now but from the gameplay in the video it seems to be continuing with the direction Zestiria set the series on.
