I've talked about the upcoming 2.4 patch for Diablo 3 when it was first entering its test phase and now over a month later they're finally sharing more information about it.
In a recent post over on the Diablo 3 blog Blizzard spoke about what exactly we'll be able to find in Greyhollow island, the brand new map coming with patch 2.4, as well as their inspirations and goals while creating it. If you're interested in a brief overview of the new zone as well as the trailer you will find them below.

As a big fan of the XCOM franchise it excites me to see Firaxis this open towards people showcasing their game a few months before launch, especially in today's world where some games hide behind a wall of hype until the last possible minute.
While I don't have anything to showcase myself (given that I started doing this a month ago) plenty of other people were allowed access and have created some amazing videos, including one of the most dedicated XCOM players around, Beaglerush. Here is the trailer and the links pointing you towards all of the stuff you might be interested in:

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.

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.

Man games were crazy back in the day. Get this, someone actually made a fighting game based on a famous basketball player who goes through a dimensional portal in order to fight otherworldly caricatures of various Egyptian figures. As you might imagine it sucked pretty badly and there was even a website dedicated to its utter annihilation. But, after a while the game was quietly forgotten and left to rest on the shelves of history.
Until a few years ago when the world decided Shaq-Fu 2 was a game worthy of raising $458,884 through its indiegogo campaign. I still find this whole thing absurd but the developers behind Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn have taken the money and two years later are ready to show their progress. The best bit? It actually looks fun, in a cheesy sort of way.

I am usually the one that is the voice of caution when it comes to pre-release hype but the Souls series is my favorite bunch of games and everything I'm seeing from Dark Souls 3 just makes me want it even more.
The two trailers released today definitely aren't helping the situation. You can find the more cinematic trailer, titled Embrace the Darkness, right here and I'll embed the pure gameplay below as I would like to share a few of my observations with you.

Well this came out of nowhere didn't it. Surprise aside I can't say I mind the idea of a prehistoric version of Far Cry, at least then I will be certain there are no radio towers to climb. From what I'm seeing so far it seems very similar to Far Cry 3 & 4 which isn't necessarily a bad thing but I do hope it ends up being its own game rather than a retread.
Far Cry Primal was revealed during this year's Video Game Awards with a rather long developer playthrough following it, the video is embedded right below.

I might be completely terrible at grand strategy games but that doesn't stop me from being excited about everything Paradox brings out in that genre, especially for the Europa Universalis series.
In preparation for the upcoming expansion for Europa Universalis IV, Paradox have released a youtube video (embedded below) going over all the major changes coming with The Cossacks on December 1st.
Allow me to give you a brief rundown of what to expect:

Dragon's Dogma was one of the few games that made me want to grab a console and now I only await the day when Demon Souls & Bloodborne get ported to PC... a man can dream at least.
My daydreaming aside Capcom UK released a video containing some beginner tips for new players to the series, check it out:
