http://www.pcgamer.com/plants-vs-zombies-garden-warfare-2-ten-hour-trial-returns-later-this-month/

The competitive undead gardening game Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2will soon offer curious-but-uncommitted gamers an opportunity to play for ten hours at no charge—very soon, for those on consoles, and somewhat later if you'd rather stick with the PC.

http://www.pcgamer.com/hello-games-is-already-working-on-the-first-no-mans-sky-patch/

If you're anything like me, instead of playing games this week you've been watching leaked videos of No Man's Sky gameplay footage. Without spoiling anything (though the game is virtually limitless, so what's to spoil?), it does have bugs, ranging minor through to hilarious. That's to be expected for a game this massive and so reliant on procedural generation, but Hello Games is being proactive when it comes to squashing them. The first patch for the game has just been completed.

Valve has rolled out a major patch for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive which amends the recovery rate of three of its most-used rifles, as part of a new accuracy recovery method the studio has developed. With the new changes, players should be able to fire off short bursts with better accuracy, as the recovery method can now account for a wider range of firing intensity.

 

Quadrilateral Cowboy to get new, free missions in coming weeks

http://www.pcgamer.com/quadrilateral-cowboy-to-get-new-free-missions-in-coming-weeks/

Puzzle-meets-heists-meets hacking game Quadrilateral Cowboy released last week and Tom seemed to enjoy his time with it. Creator Blendo Games’ “signature sense of style” won him over, however he did feel slightly let down by the fact the studio’s latest venture failed to reach its full potential. Could more missions free-of-charge help this matter? In any event, Blendo's head honcho Brendon Chung has revealed more are en route in the coming weeks.

Three of Disney's most beloved game adaptations are hitting PC today, so we'll finally be able to check whether The Lion King is still as hard as it seemed in 1994. In addition to that game, Aladdin and The Jungle Book are also arriving, meaning the company's best SNES-era 16-bit sidescrollers are all on PC, now.

Might and Delight’s back catalogue boasts some pretty stunning games, such as Shelter, Pid, and ‘expandalone’ Paws: A Shelter 2 Story. Its latest project Pan-Pan —produced in collaboration with one-man Swedish developer Spelkraft—is out this month.

 

Watch 20 minutes of ‘super pre-alpha’ Battletech in-game footage

http://www.pcgamer.com/watch-20-minutes-of-super-pre-alpha-battletech-in-game-footage/

Last year, Battletech’s Kickstarter campaign asked for $250,000 to “bring classicturn-based Battletech back to the PC.” After just one hour, it had hit that goal and after just one month it had accrued almost $2.8 million. Fast forward half a year and Shadowrun developer Hairbrained Schemes appears ready to show off some of Battletech in working order—the latest alpha footage focused on combat.

It seems there’s hardly a week that goes by where enterprising modders don’t add something weird, whacky or wonderful to Paradox’s sci-fi inspired 4x-cum-grand strategy endeavour, yet today marks the introduction of its first officialDLC—the Plantoids Species Pack.
