There is always room for more Hurk in any Far Crygame. I would definitely support the addition of Hurk in Far Cry and Far Cry 2.
Good news for Far Cry 4 owners, more Hurk is coming. Hurk Deluxe Pack brings five new single player mission starring everyone’s favourite idiot. Hurk will also get to rock the harpoon gun that he shows off to Ajay Ghale in the base Far Cry 4game.
Hurk Deluxe Pack can be purchased on its own for $7.49 USD or $9.95 AUD. The pack is also part of the Far Cry 4 Season Pass, which costs $29.99 USD or $39.95 AUD. Hurk Deluxe Pack is available now on PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, and Windows.
This upcoming PC game by Weappy Studio is about a police chief, Jack Boyd, who is a model of duty and integrity. However, after giving his best years to the badge, he finds it has left him with nothing in the end. Sick of playing by the book while the rest of force go around skimming money off drug dealers and hookers, Jack decides to earn some informal income before his forced retirement; ‘To hell with it, This is the Police’.
The chief is willing to do what ever it takes to earn half a million dollars; bribes, weapons and drug, but only you can decide how far he’ll go. You can manage your team of crooked cops, deal with the mafia and still go around investigating the odd crime as well. The game is currently up on Kickstarter. Check it out to learn more.
I feel this will be a great crime game, but two other credits to the game is that it stars the voice of macho Duke Nukemand sometimes it is devilishly fun to play on the corrupt side.
One of the Xbox One’s most highly touted features when the console was first announced, but sadly us Aussies missed out on having the convenience of a TV Guide right on our consoles. That is, until today. Microsoft have finally made the OneGuide available for Australian Xbox One consoles, which means that we now get access to all of these great features:
Favourite Channelsin OneGuide: Create your own personal favourites in OneGuide so you can more quickly choose what you want to watch.
Channel Tuning by Voice: OneGuide allows you to call out your favourite TV channel by name and start watching it instantly.
TV Listings in the OneGuide:Navigate TV listings using the controller or with Kinect Voice* control – e.g. say “Xbox show guide, what’s on Channel 7?” – to quickly navigate directly to that channel’s listings for free-to-air TV. Listings are available in both full screen and mini-guide, with the option of parental controls.
TV Playback in Snap Mode: You can now watch TV using the Snap mode, watching TV on the side and leaving the main screen for games, Skype, or other applications.
OneGuide on SmartGlass: You will have access to the OneGuide listings on the new Xbox One SmartGlass Beta app with the ability to change channels on your TV. You can download this app from the marketplace or store on your mobile device.
TV On Demand: TV listings in OneGuide will indicate which shows are available on demand from video apps.
As if that wasn’t enough, Microsoft have also confirmed that they would be releasing a Digital TV Tuner for the console starting in March this year. That means you wont need anthing else but your Xbox One and a television to enjoy all of your media.

Wales Interactive has released a bevy of announcements regarding the upcoming title Soul Axiom, following the release of it’s launch trailer. Soul Axiom is a new indie sci-fi adventure game from the same studio who brought out the haunting sci-fi title Master Reboot.
Soul Axiom has been called a psychological thriller wrapped up in an adventure game.

Wales Interactive claims there are to be somewhere around 8-12 hours of gameplay in the full release, following a compelling storyline. The full feature list follows:

• Harness the abilities of Elysia: Discover new powers that will assist exploration and puzzle solving by phasing, building, destroying or corrupting.

• Compelling storyline: A tense, but thought-provoking narrative with multiple outcomes, and leaves you yearning to explore all avenues of the lore.
• Dynamic adaptive environments: Use your abilities to manipulate your surrounding environments. Collect your powers and re-visit memories to unlock previously hidden areas.

• Atmospheric soundtrack: Provides the perfect musical backdrop which subtly enhances the game through well-crafted association with the memories you explore.

You can watch the early access trailer below and you can find the title available on discount now in early access on Steam.

Scott Cawthon has announced the third game in the Five Nights at Freddy’sseries. The indie horror is set 30 years after the closing of Fazbear’s Pizza. New owners have purchased the joint in hopes of reviving the childhood classic. One animatronic has survived the clutches of time.
Five Nights at Freddy’s 3’s Steam Greenlight campaign kicked with a bunch of screenshots and a teaser trailer. The campaign has already rocketed to the number one position on the Steam Greenlight charts. Although rumours are flying wild about the estimated release date, Scott Cawthon has yet to set a solid release date for the game, but said “there is still a LOT of work to be done.”
It has been announced in this week’s issue of Shonen Jump, and detailed later on the title’s official website by Bandai Namco, that Tales of Zestiria will be getting some post-launch DLC that will be free for a limited time. This DLC happens to be called “Alisha After Episode: What is Reflected in the Eyes” and follows what happens to Alisha after the events of Tales of Zestiria and will feature at least her and Rose.
The DLC will be released in Japan on February 12th and it is worth noting that the DLC will remain free until February 18th. After that point it will be priced at ¥1,300 . It is worth noting that this DLC will likely help soothe some the anger some of the Japanese fans over the title that was released back on January 22nd.
Spoilers below: (highlight to read) Despite being heavily promoted as a main character and featured in many DLC costume packs, Alisha plays only a minimal role in the story of Tales of Zestiria and is apparently handled extremely poorly, causing discontent among the series’ fans.
