Planetside 2 on PC is a fantastic game, and those that love it enough to subscribe are going to see some changes over the next few months. Instead of the 500SC they've been recieving each month as a reward, they'll instead be able to choose any one item up to 2000SC. On the surface this seems like a fantastic deal, but it's worried some long term fans. CEO John Smedley jumped on Reddit to clarify the changes:

Titanfall is looking to offer an alternative arcade shooter experience that'll compete nicely with Call of Duty while pushing the genre on a little. Today, some were worried that things hadn't changed enough, with the announcement that the maximum number of combatants in a match will be 12.

Looking for something to scare your socks off? Alien: Isolation looks like it might actually be that game, and while we've been disappointed by the IP before, SEGA look to have fixed things completely this time around. Horror? Check. Deadly aliens? Check. Unnecessary character link to previous entries? Check. Hell - it could even be a new entry in the film franchise.

There really aren't enough co-op multiplayer games around, to the point where Left 4 Dead manages to stand out basically unchallenged. They're fantastic games in their own right, especially if you have people to enjoy them with, but ultimately there isn't much competition. That's going to change soon, when Evolve is released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC later this year.

Ok, so Square Enix are playing this game. Despite the fact that a Game of the Year edition is almost certainly coming to PC, and despite the fact that it would make sense to have the new features of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition in that Game of the Year release, Eidos representatives are still saying that it isn't going to happen.

Titanfall is looking like it'll be a fun sci-fi arcade shooter and a great boon to Xbox 360 and Xbox One. PC gamers will also be able to pick it up, and, if Call of Duty has been anything to go by, it'll be a pretty nice experience through that as well. One things for certain though: you won't be downloading mods for the game any time soon, probably not at all.

Hackers have managed to get the Wii U Tablet working without the Wii U console, a feat that will no doubt significantly raise the interest in the Wii U controller for the gaming demographic that enjoying playing video games while sat on the toilet. It’s not all good news though: Nintendo still don’t sell the gamepads separately, and that might make attaining one without buying a console rather difficult. Still, the good news is that it works, and the possibilities…

If there was a single thing that made me consider a purchase of Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, it was the announcement that it will come pre-loaded with voice commands. Forget annoying menus which have you slowly breaking out of the action. Scream the word “SHOTGUN!” at the TV and let your Kinect or PlayStation Camera do the rest. You might get some strange looks from the neighbours, but who gives a damn what they thing, anyway. Scot Amos revealed the…

The 'Definitive' version of Tomb Raider might be coming to next-gen consoles - complete with TressFX, a new face and a great big price tag - but that doesn't mean Square Enix isn't willing to try to get PC gamers to buy the same game all over again. Tomb Raider GOTY Edition has appeared on the Steam registry, and that means a new version of 2013's hottest action adventure is absolutely bound to be on the horizon.

Hit console-style shooter MMO Defiance has gone kind of free-to-play. Although there's still a limit on what you can do while you're in the free-to-play version of the game, you can play for as long as you want without having to stop.
