I've been avidly following the development of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard [official site], though I must say it's not been without some trepidation. Resident Evil 6 did so much to destroy the image of Capcom's venerable series I feared it may not be able to make a comeback.Fortunately, the team behind Resident Evil 7: Biohazard seems to realize that the only way to go forward…

Ubisoft's "30 Days of Giveaways" is heating up on December 7 when Assassin's Creed III [official site] will be free to any and all who want it. Assassin's Creed III does tend to be fans' least favorite entry in the series, but for the price who can complain?
I've had a go at Factorio [official site], and even managed to automate resource mining and production. I thought I had a good grip on the game until I saw what DaveMcW was able to create. Using just the components available in the base game, he managed to build what is essentially a video stream decoder and display program.
Project Abyss [official site] has exited Steam Early Access and properly launched into the depths.

The free-to-play action-RPG Path of Exile's [official website] next update will brings a lot to the table. Next week Grinding Gear Games will launch the Breach content update, which will add a bevy of bosses, item enhancements, and a whole new challenge league.

Giants Software and Focus Home Interactive say that the launch sales of one million units in its first month is almost twice the sales of the previous installment at launch.
Every once in a while, I encounter a game that just doesn't fit any established genre. Screeps [official site] is a real-time strategy game, and it's an MMO, but not in the vein of any I've ever seen before. You see, unlike StarCraft or Age of Empires, your units in Screeps don't come with an AI or fancy control interface. Instead, you have to code…
Brief Karate Foolish will fulfill your dream of fighting as a half-nude Japanese man
The motto of Brief Karate Foolish [official site] ran through Google Translate is: "First of all, discard reason. Everything is from then!" This free "super real match fighting game," is all about the majesty and grace of brief-wearing Japanese men fighting to the death for a mystical pair of black briefs. That sounds like a typical Friday night for me, only I'd prefer to wear…
Monomi Park's Slime Rancher [official site], that wacky and wiggly slime wrangling game, this week received a significant update in the Slime Science Update, available now. In it you can find numerous slimes and the basics of Slime Science itself. It is much stickier than regular science, you see, and you must let the game educate you before you can be trusted with it.
Mi-Clos Studio's Out There from 2014 is a roguelike that can be devastatingly harsh, set in a lonely, mysterious universe. That's where most of the harshness comes in, after all.

The designer behind the massively popular Plants vs. Zombies, George Fan, has opened a new studio and left his old toys behind.

It's a common concept: you play as a giant mutant octopus, growing weird new fightlimbs.
League of Legends [official site] is forever adding new champions to its roster. Much like I add lip balms and perfumes to my dresser because I hoard them, Riot Games creates and adds new characters every so often because they can and people love to purchase skins for them. Hell, I don't even play that often and I'm tempted by Arcade Miss Fortune and Jinx.…
Fridges of the Pacific Northwest showcases real fridges of the Pacific Northwest in space
Fridges of the Pacific Northwest [official site] takes you to a galaxy of fridges. There are enough fridges in this game to comprise a galaxy. How is that even possible? It is. Each fridge has signage that is lovingly recreated from the results of a 2016 photojournalism project that documented refrigerators from workplaces across the Pacific Northwest.
Episode 4 of Batman - The Telltale Series [official site] has Batman locked in Arkham Asylum, and my favorite Danny DeVito character has taken over Wayne Enterprises.
