If you’re a nameless henchman who happens to stumble into the path of a certain emoji-faced killer in RUINER, then yes. Things can and definitely will get much worse for you. I’ve been following RUINER since I first glimpsed it at the gloriously gory Devolver Digital press conference from E3, and as the official president of all things twin-stick shootery I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far. Here’s the latest trailer of RUINER in action, as well as a few new screens to tide you over until it releases next month.

Aerial fights are getting a re-work in Star Wars Battlefront II, and the first full match of gameplay shows that off in spades.

Battlefield 1 is getting competitive with a brand new 5v5 mode called Incursions. Along with that announcement made at Gamescom, DICE have also unveiled the new Russian-based expansion and new complete edition of the game.

This year, Blizzard has given their cult classic blockbuster a proper visual makeover while retaining its original charm, that brings it in line with their ever-expanding StartCraft universe. Want in on this? Well good news! We’ve got a pair of codes to give away for StarCraft Remastered from our fab friends at Megarom Interactive. Entry is simple: All you have to do is plop your email in the box below and you’ll be emailed in a week’s time should you win.

Here’s the bad news, followed by the good news: You’re not getting a proper Fear Effect sequel (Does Fear Effect Sedna count? I’m not sure and I don’t think it’s even out yet). In my best Farnsworth voice however, the good news is that fans are at least getting a remake of the first game in the series, titled Fear Effect Reinvented.

Fe, one of the very first EA Originals ever announced, is finally coming out next year. And its gorgeous Gamescom trailer reminds you why you should be excited.

I’ve got many a fond memory of Age of Empires, a series of real-time strategy games from Microsoft that were pitch-perfect in their balance of exploration and conquest. While Age of Empires II was the highlight for me, I never quite got into its third instalment. It was a fine game, but something just felt…off. Maybe it was the dramatic shift to 3D visuals in an age where such graphics were still in their infancy in that genre, or maybe it was the odd resource-gathering system. Perhaps the fourth time is the charm then, as Microsoft unveiled Age of Empires IV last night.

HP’s Omen range of systems is generally powerful enough, but it’s the stuff that’s appended with an “X” that really gets interesting. Usually reserved for their desktops, the X signifies that the system packs in the bleeding edge, or is emboldened by some sort of radical design.
