In a press release from Warner Brothers Interactive, we have learned that the inevitable Game of the Year Edition for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor will be heading to shelves soon for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

I firmly believe that one outstanding game can ruin another outstanding game, especially when talking about games that require a significant time investment. Few indie titles get missed because they are generally shorter. Thankfully, if two 'big' indie games launch in the same week they are short enough for me to enjoy both.

New The Witcher 3 DLC was announced today, despite the fact that the game still over a month out from launch. Regardless, more content is never bad, unless it comes at the expense of the core game. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case.

It's been nearly six years since the two DLC episodes for Resident Evil 5 were released on console. Now they're finally coming to Steam.

The game is outstanding, and I have yet to see any outlet say anything bad about it. But the developers want to make sure it's perfect, without bugs. And good on them. Although no one has yet mentioned any problems, I assume there are still a few kinks to work out.

Episodic time shifter Life is Strange has received a new trailer, as well as information on when it will be available and how much it will cost.

Space, a vacuum in which oxygen cannot live extinguishing the hope of a flame to one's self and stave off the loneliness of the darkness around them.
