Don’t expect to see Half-Life 3, Portal 3 or Left 4 Dead 3 revealed at E3 next week: Valve is sitting out this year’s show. The company confirmed that it would not be exhibiting at next week’s event to GamesBeat, although its virtual reality headset, the ‘HTC Vive’, may be on display via third-party partners.

Though you’d be forgiven for thinking that HBO had already renewed its thrilling miniseries Watchmen and season 2 was playing out over reality right now, Watchmen season 2 actually remains a dicey proposition. HBO obviously would like more of its tremendously successful modern continuation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ classic graphic novel. But producer and showrunner Damon Lindelof has made clear he’d only return if he had the inspiration for how to approach a new season, given that the first batch of episodes told a complete, self-contained story....

When the Mythos expansion came out a couple of months ago, I thought that was it for Total War Saga: Troy. Indeed, I had considered it the complete experience for those who want the most out of the game. Little did I know that we’d see two more characters with the new Total War Saga: Troy – Rhesus & Memnon DLC. It releases today via Steam and the Epic Games Store....

When I tried out the first few levels of Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince for our preview, I was floored at the fact that I had never encountered the series before. The magical, whimsical game I experienced in the demo enthralled my inner-child, leaving me wanting more of this series that had somehow flown under my radar. I had some time prior to Trine 4’s launch to go back and check out the first three games in the series, and although Trine 3 wasn’t as up to snuff with the other games, I enjoyed them in the build-up to the new game’s full release....
