The many fine improvements of the Wii U's Director's Cut edition of Deus Ex: Human Revolution shall come to other platforms after all, in a reversal of an earlier decision. The reworked edition, which includes revamped boss battles and developer commentary, will be released for PC, Mac, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 as well as Wii U "later this year."
If you've got friends and enjoy beating them in video games whilst yelling in their faces, you should pre-order local multiplayer bundle Sportsfriends and honestly, do something about that aggression. It's a fantastic $30 collection of top local competitive games J.S. Joust, Hokra, Super Pole Riders, BaraBariBall, and pre-orders have now opened offering alpha builds of the lot.
Publisher Oddworld Inhabitants has revealed another four platforms for Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty, bringing it up to seven. As well as PC, PS3, and Vita, Just Add Water's "re-creation" of vintage platformer Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee is now confirmed for PlayStation 4, Wii U, Mac and Linux.
With the end of June approaching and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs's marketing machine not ratcheting up, it's no surprise that the scare 'em up is missing its planned Q2 release. Still, chin up, the wait isn't that much longer: expect to be yelling into your webcam towards the end of summer. In fact, the sunshine will be a perfect excuse for why you're refusing to go anywhere near your PC.

Who has the time to play games anymore? No, we're growed-ups, spending our personal time with our roller skates and bills. So bring on the June 18 launch of "meta RPG" Knights of Pen & Paper, confirmed today by publisher Paradox, where a group of roleplayers can play a tabletop RPG for us, and all we have to do is tell them what to do. That's saving time! I think.
Europa Universalis 4 is coming on August 13, Paradox announced today. Pre-orders have opened, with your choice of the regular edition ($40) or Digital Extreme Edition ($45).
The latest Humble Indie Bundle was already one of the finest yet, packing wonders from Hotline Miami to Proteus, but oh my stars it's even better now. Another four games were added to the pay-what-you-want pack yesterday: top puzzler English Country Tune; physicular platformer Tiny & Big in Grandpa's Leftovers; side-scrolling shooter Intrusion 2; and RTS Oil Rush.
Turns out, people are pretty keen to see more games from Double Fine. Who knew? The Psychonauts dev's pitch for roguelike-inspired strategy RPG Massive Chalice has apparently struck a chord, passing its crowdfunding goal of $725,000 in only five days. Gosh, and it still has 23 days left to run.
You may not have known it, but the Toki Tori you might have picked up in a Humble Bundle was actually a remake of a Game Boy Color game from 2001. Developer Two Tribes debuted the actual sequel Toki Tori 2 on Wii U in April, but it seems PC will--quite rightly, hrumph hrumph--receive the definitive version. Dubbed Toki Tori 2+, it's arriving July 2 with a level editor, extra puzzles, and more.
