ROCK OF AGES 2: BIGGER AND BOULDER ANNOUNCED

http://www.pcgamer.com/rock-of-ages-2-bigger-and-boulder-announced/

The original Rock of Ages was a tower-defence-y, and very silly game that mixed strategic base-defence with a second phase where you rolled a giant boulder into enemy territory. The giant boulder wore a really happy expression—it just loved bouldering, and who could blame it? In his review, Tom Hatfield described it as "quirky, fun and characterful", but questioned its longevity and depth.

EA TURNED DOWN ROCKET LEAGUE, ACCORDING TO A PSYONIX DEV

http://www.pcgamer.com/ea-turned-down-rocket-league-according-to-a-psyonix-dev/

Rocket League is a whimsical sports game about rocket-powered vehicles playing football. On paper it's not especially appealing – it sounds kinda dumb, to be honest – which is probably why publisher EA turned it down in 2011.

 

ROCKET LEAGUE'S JUNE PATCH GOES ALL-OUT

http://www.pcgamer.com/rocket-leagues-june-patch-goes-all-out/

Rocket League's June patch is out now, and it's a doozy. Competitive players, customisation obsessives and serial smack-talkers will all find something to crow about.

 

EVE: VALKYRIE GETS FREE CARRIER ASSAULT UPDATE

http://www.pcgamer.com/eve-valkyrie-gets-free-carrier-assault-update/

Oculus Rift headliner EVE: Valkyrie has received its first free update, Carrier Assault. If there's a better use for VR than emulating the Death Star trench run, I can't think of it, and evidently neither can devs CCP.

THE TEMPLE OF NO IS A NEW FREEBIE FROM CROWS CROWS CROWS

http://www.pcgamer.com/the-temple-of-no-is-a-new-freebie-from-crows-crows-crows/

Earlier today, Crows Crows Crows boss William Pugh said on Twitter that everyone on the studio's mailing list would be given a free game in just 30 minutes. Naturally, I couldn't remember if I was already subscribed or not, so I signed up (again, as it turned out) just to be sure. 30 minutes later, nothing happened. But after some kinks were worked out the wheels started turning, I eventually received an email linking me to something called The Temple of No.

 

REROLL, THE CROWDFUNDED GAME THAT WANTED TO SCAN THE WORLD, IS ABANDONED

http://www.pcgamer.com/reroll-the-crowdfunded-game-that-wanted-to-scan-the-world-is-abandoned/

ReRoll was announced in early 2014 by a pair of former Ubisoft developers, Julien Cuny and Louis-Pierre Pharand, who had come together to form a studio called Pixyul. The project was incredibly ambitious, as the team aimed to “reproduce, accurately at scale, the whole planet.” That would be this planet, Earth, scanned in its entirety with HD camera-equipped drones and then converted to 3D. “Once in a game engine, these 3D objects will generate our game environment,” the announcement trailer explains. “That world will be the playground for our first game, ReRoll.”

 

TITANFALL 2'S DLC MAPS WILL BE FREE BECAUSE EA WANTS YOU TO BE HAPPY

http://www.pcgamer.com/titanfall-2s-dlc-maps-will-be-free-because-ea-wants-you-to-be-happy/

We learned last week that all of Titanfall 2's DLC maps and game modes will be free for everyone. But that doesn't necessarily mean that all the DLC will be free. As Respawn co-founder Vince Zampella told GamesRadar, the studio doesn't want to “split the community” between those who have the maps and those who don't, but somebody has to pay for all this stuff.

 

RAINBOW SIX SIEGE PATCH BUFFS KAPKAN AND MUTE

http://www.pcgamer.com/rainbow-six-siege-patch-buffs-kapkan-and-mute/

Ubisoft is rolling out a new Rainbow Six Siege patch tomorrow, ushering in significant changes to two of the game's least popular operators. Kapkan, the underused trip wire expert, can now place his laser at any height on a doorway or window, meaning he'll be significantly less useless than he has been in the past (unless you're defending against a reckless opponent).
