PAC-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION 2 IS OUT ON STEAM TODAY
http://www.pcgamer.com/pac-man-championship-edition-2-is-out-on-steam-today/
Pac-Man Championship Edition was one of the best iterations of classic Pac-Man ever released, though the secret Wolfenstein 3D level is pretty good, too. So the arrival of Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 on Steam today is pretty welcome, and that launch trailer above should provide ample indication as to why.

Blizzard has issued a new patch for StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void – patch 3.6.0, to be exact – and it ushers in a few new features in addition to bug fixes and tweaks. Chief among the additions is a new co-op centric commander by the name of Alarak, an offensive hero.

 

HECTIC SHMUP-PLATFORMER RIVE IS OUT NOW
http://www.pcgamer.com/hectic-shmup-platformer-rive-is-out-now/
I consistently confuse Two Tribes' Rive with troubled ICO-like Rime, so I'm partly posting this news story to cement the game in my head, but mainly because this platforming shoot-'em-up hybrid from the developer of Toki Tori looks pretty intriguing in its own right. You control a spider tank in a sidescrolling, bullet-spewing world, one that comprises land, underwater, zero gravity, and look-ma-I'm-on-a-moving-train sections.

 

GUILD WARS 2 LIVING WORLD TRAILER TEASES RISING FLAMES
http://www.pcgamer.com/guild-wars-2-living-world-trailer-teases-rising-flames/
Guild Wars 2's Living World continues to offer a pile of free, episodic story content for the slightly aging MMO—the third season of which kicked off a couple of months ago. Now, the second episode is about to emerge from the shadows, and I hope you've stocked up on sun cream.

 

EVERSPACE LAUNCHES INTO EARLY ACCESS TODAY
http://www.pcgamer.com/everspace-launches-into-early-access-today/
Lovely lookin' space shooting roguelite Everspace releases into early access today, on both Steam and GOG. What is it? It's a game about exploring a procedurally generated universe in a little spaceship (no No Man's Sky-style planetary landings here), a ship you'll upgrade and improve, before you inevitably die in a big fiery explosion and yes, yes I know there'd be no oxygen for that in actual space.

 

CHAT WITH A LONELY AI IN EVENT[0], OUT NOW
http://www.pcgamer.com/chat-with-a-lonely-ai-in-event0-out-now/
It turns out I wrote about Event[0] way back in 2014, and in the intervening years I'd managed to forget, remember, forget then remember about this fascinating story-based game. An email just now reminds me of it again, and whadda ya know, it's one stating that Event[0] is available right now. Andy's hands-on preview, and Shaun's news post will shed more light, but the short version is it's a game where you have to make friends with a lonely spaceship AI, for a chance to escape an otherwise abandoned space station and return to Earth.

>>There are some really weird games out there...

 

CIVILIZATION 6 TRAILER INTRODUCES GREECE AND LEADER PERICLES
http://www.pcgamer.com/civilization-6-trailer-introduces-greece-and-leader-pericles/
Firaxis has been introducing Civilization 6's various world leaders for a good long while now; the latest is Pericles, who the developer has put in charge of Greece. Now, each country in Civ 6 gets a unique ability, and Greece's is Plato's Republic, which grants you an extra wildcard slot. Greece also gets a unique unit, the Hoplite, who receives a bonus when placed next to his Hoplitey chums. Finally, Pericles himself has a special ability, Surrounded by Glory, which provides culture bonuses depending on specific conditions.
