Jurassic World Evolution – First in-game trailer surfaces
http://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/jurassic-world-evolution-first-game-trailer-surfaces/
Frontier has showcased a new Jurassic World Evolution trailer at this year’s Frontier Expo. Contrary to the previous CGI trailer, this one features in-game visuals. In short, this will give you an idea at what Frontier is trying to achieve with this new Jurassic World game.

I am so keen for this.
Graphically it looks okay, nothing ground breaking... But if they pull the gameplay off, I won't need to pull out Operation Genesis ever again.

Let us hope they don't weigh the game down with Micro Transactions.

Here's a short preview of the game, with some insights on how it will work: http://www.pcgamer.com/succeed-where-john-hammond-failed-in-jurassic-world-evolution/

I thought about something along those lines.

Of course they're pretty much overpriced but it's worth it. Especially when it comes with pre overclocked CPUs.

"Overpriced" is not enough to describe it, even with all the watercooling gear in that. Don't get me wrong, they certainly look good, but *ouch* that's expensive!

And the first one only has the 256GB SSD drive and no OS?! Dear God...

I found those after like 10 seconds of browsing. I didn't even show you the ones over 10000 and even 20000€ ;)

When I'm upgrading next year or early 2019 there will be better offers and I'm gonna research that shit. It's also probably a lot cheaper to pick the parts and then just use a service that builds them. We'll see but I will have a lot of money to throw around by then and 5k will be like nothing.

Also, remember to save some cash for that 4K, HDR, 144Hz ASUS monitor.

http://www.pcgamer.com/borderlands-borderlands-2-and-endless-legend-for-5-in-latest-humble-bundle/

ELEX 2016 versus 2017 comparison video
http://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/elex-2016-versus-2017-comparison-video/
Piranha Bytes has released a comparison video between the 2016 and the 2017 versions of its upcoming action RPG, ELEX. From the looks of it, and contrary to other developers, Piranha Bytes appears to have improved the game’s visuals. However, we do have to say that the 2016 version looks more like an alpha. And to be honest, I can’t believe that Piranha Bytes would ever release a game looking THAT bad.

Hearthstone is giving away the first Warlock hero skin for free, but there's a catch
http://www.pcgamer.com/hearthstone-free-warlock-skin/
Okay, brace yourselves. Against all my previous advice, we're going to need to venture outside.

The Xbox 360 version was ugh... With bad voice acting... Questionable balancing and pacing... I hope they rectify that.

Visually the remaster doesn't look like a big overhaul, mostly just a resolution bump, some of the bad animations still persist... Hilariously they didn't include any of the voice dialog in that video. They trying to hide something? :P
