A lot of us have been asking just when DayZ Standalone will be released. The top mod has been being converted to a full game for quite some time now, and apart from "when it's ready," and "soon," it doesn't seem we have much information on an actual time and date that we'll be able to buy it. We still don't have a set-in-stone calender entry, but it might be closer than expected.

The final two assassin’s in Batman: Arkham Origins have been revealed, according to a couple of screenshots released by All Games Beta. Although nothing has been confirmed, it seems Killer Croc and Lady Shiva will be the final additions to round out Batman’s rogues gallery in the third installment of the Arkham franchise.  Croc and Shiva join Firefly, Copperhead, Deadshot, Deathstroke, Electrocutioner and Bane, all of whom have joined forces with the sadistic  Black Mask. This a quite a line-up,…

The time has finally come for The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief to reach its conclusion. This Agatha Christie inspired mystery has had its ups and downs, but has been a relatively enjoyable experience thus far, flaws notwithstanding. The second chapter followed through with the solid writing featured during chapter one's final act, but does it continue here in the third chapter, A Murder of Ravens? Do the puzzles get better, or are they the same humdrum offerings? The answer: not really.

Magic: The Gathering - Tactics - the online strategy card game first released in 2011 - will close down in March next year. New accounts can no longer be made, and there will be no new sets of cards after November.

Stranger's Wrath HD was a superb re-release of an tragically underrated Xbox game, and the fact it came to PlayStation 3, Vita and PC was very satisfying. Munch's Oddysee HD was due a similar second chance, but unfortunately one of those platforms has had to be dropped... for now, at least.

2K Marin, the developers behind Bioshock 2 and, most recently, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, have been struck with layoffs, according to sources speaking with Rock, Paper, Shotgun and Polygon. After contacting 2K, a representative told the following to Polygon:  “We can confirm staff reductions at 2K Marin. While these were difficult decisions, we regularly evaluate our development efforts and have decided to reallocate creative resources. Our goal to create world-class video game titles remains unchanged.” One ex-employee posted on Twitter…

As we reported several months ago, Batman Arkham City (and Asylum) are being converted to Steamworks. The update happened tonight (next time you log into Steam, it'll start the download), but there's a real downside that's likely to annoy people more than GFWL ever did.

For all those amongst you feeling charitable, there's a new Humble Bundle available. The Humble Bundle with Android 7 doesn't quite match the quality of some of the more recent bundles, but it sure as hell beats the comedy collection they did. If you fancy some decent games at a relatively small price, look no further.

I'm sure there was a lot of scoffing when they announced the original LEGO Star Wars. Taking a toy license that was based off of a movie license and digitizing it must have seemed like the worst idea in the world, spawning a shoddy mess for children who have no idea what a good game is. Funnily enough, the exact opposite occurred and a gaming phenomenon was born. Now there have been approximately a billion LEGO games since then, all as fun and addictive as the last, and LEGO Lord of the Rings is the latest game in Traveller's Tales quite literal blockbuster series.

Popular title Urban Chaos has been re-released on Steam. If you owned a PlayStation, PC or Dreamcast at the turn of the millennium, you'll probably at least remember its striking lead character and its dark "urban jungle" setting.
