Previous attempts to bring the Jagged Alliance franchise back haven't been met with much success. But hey, it's 2018, and turn-based strategy is cool. So who wants another Jagged Alliance game?
There aren't many reasons to be grateful for the Microsoft Store, but Darksiders fans might have one.
Biomutant is Experiment 101's upcoming open world, anthropomorphic animal action RPG. Originally revealed at last year's Gamescom, studio head Stefan Ljungqvist recently went a little more in-depth on some of what's in the game, including its character creator, at a PC Gamer event.
Elex is a terribly constructed video game full of glitches, lag, eye-sores, and confusing mechanics. I would not recommend most people go through the pain of playing this RPG. And yet, despite all of this, I am obsessed with Elex. I can't stop playing it. In a year of incredible releases, Elex manages to be one of the best and worst.
Very few games get full-blown expansions 10 years after release, yet here we are and Titan Quest, the much-loved 2006 action RPG from Iron Lore just received a boatload of new content in the form of Titan Quest: Ragnarok. The expansion came out earlier this month and going by user reviews, it's well worth checking out.
THQ Nordic has a new post-apocalyptic game staring world-weary animal with a sword and bad-arse grasshopper sidekick. The game, suspected to be revealed at this week's Gamescom, was leaked this weekend thanks to an ad in the German gaming magazine GamesMarkt.
A new Amazon listing revealed Darksiders 3 for PS4, Xbox One and PC before it was officially announced. It appeared as a THQ Nordic listing, and its product page is filled with screenshots and info about the game.
It took a few years, but Nordic's plans for de Blob, created by Melbourne's now-defunct Blue Tongue Entertainment, have finally come to fruition.

The market for intricate, hardcore military sims isn't what it used to be. Sure, games like Battlefield 1 might partially scratch the itch, but who remembers the likes of Delta Force, Joint Operations or even the F-16 and F-22 games from NovaLogic? THQ Nordic does and rather than let these treasured IPs rot, has snapped them up along with the NovaLogic brand.
It might not seem like a savvy business move to rebrand yourself after a failed game publisher, but regardless, best of luck to the folks at Nordic, who announced today that they're now called THQ Nordic.
