Shadow Complex is a Super Metroid inspired side-scrolling action adventure whose development was assisted by Epic Games (Gears of War, Unreal). It released back in 2009. on the XBox Live Arcade to some stellar reviews and a lot of praise. And now, it seems a remastered version is coming to PC.
Nothing has been officially confirmed as of yet but PEGI has released a rating for the PC version of Shadow Complex. Don't pay too much mind to the release date on the website, it is obviously either a placeholder or the date of application.
If you know very little about Shadow Complex allow me to give you a brief overview:

And here I thought my wallet would have a few weeks of rest before everyone starts up their Christmas sales. But with so many good games on sale, some of which were missing from the recent Steam Sale, its hard to say no.
GOG's Big Winter Sale will run from today to the 13th of December so expect pretty much their whole catalog to go on sale. The gimmick this time around is that you can earn free games by buying stuff on sale. Here's how it works:

Guild Wars 2's PvP scene hasn't been in a good place for quite a while after launch but it turns out extensive patching can indeed fix what what is broken as the PvP mode is now more popular than ever.
And it would appear now that Guild Wars 2 is going to chase the esports dream with their first PvP League. Here's how it all works:

Its been years and years since I've last seen or heard anyone mention Jade Empire. It might look and feel a bit like a martial arts version of KOTOR but its a fun game in its own right with a very rather unique Asian style.
Jade Empire: Special edition is currently free on Origin so if you want to experience the only martial arts RPG around give it a try it.

I made a rather long and in-depth video review for Fallout 4. Yes, I'm aware I'm like two weeks late on this one but better late than never!
I've tried to make it as detailed and as in-depth as possible (but still spoiler free) so I hope you enjoy. Feedback is, as always, most appreciated.

I was a big fan of Darkest Dungeon ever since it launched in Early Access but the recent changes that made the game more tedious than fun drove me off.
Luckily it seems they've realized their mistakes over time and patched them out. And now with Inhuman Bondage they are attempting another pass at the difficulty level of Veteran and Champion quests.
Here are the patch notes and if you're interested I'll do a brief rundown of what's being added or changed:

Warsow has been in development for what feels like forever. First time I've heard about it I was still in high school and to see it still in development, 10 years later, is quite the sight.
Warsow Version 2.0 which comes after a year and a half of development and beta testing is bringing with it a whole lot of changes, from graphics to gameplay. Here are the most important ones:

I say aims because I don't believe its quite there yet. A lot of the images look overly dark, as if the contrast has been turned way up in order to bring out the colors.
Then again I am fully aware different people like different things so don't take my opinion as fact. Instead, allow me to show you a couple of images as well as where you can grab the mod from and you can see for yourself.
[Update from a few months later]: The mod's official page is now down so the links are no longer functional. You'll have to google around and see if anyone saved the installation file.

Its been a good run but all things come to an end. Today's Steam Sale is going to be the final one with the overall ending being tomorrow. Luckily the Christmas sale is just around the corner so even if you end up missing something you'll have ample opportunities to pick it up.
Here are my recommendations for the December 29th Steam Sale, the final one of this batch:

This problem first crossed my path when the AMD subreddit went ablaze claiming their GPUs were going ablaze themselves due to AMD's Crimson software.
As it so turned out it wasn't just a bunch of individual incidences but rather a problem with how the driver dealt with fan speeds on overclocked cards. AMD has responded that a hotfix is coming out today but one question remains: What happens with all of the GPUs that already got burnt?
