The start of each and every month signals the time gamers get excited for new free goodies and the Xbox Games With Gold scheme is once again delivering. And what a game we kick October off with - as the rather brilliant party cooking title Overcooked gets stripped of the usual price tag. 

Ask any open-world game dev and they’ll tell you that creating a digital city is a massive undertaking, often manually placing assets street by street. To help streamline the creation of Oakmont, the fictional 1920’s flooded metropolis in The Sinking City, Frogwares created their own city builder tool in Unreal Engine 4... and today they are showing off the tech in a new video. 

For all the complexities that this world brings us, sometimes we just want simple. And there certainly aren't many games that are simpler than Deadliners. 

Family-friendly Vegas gambling. A sentence that has never been used before... and quite possibly won't ever be used again. Not unless you decide to delve into the family-friendly gambling world of Vegas Party on Xbox One of course!

Many think that the Amnesia games kicked off the whole 'Let's Play' revolution, allowing us to sit back in the comfort of our own homes and watch a stranger halfway around the world be put through their worst nightmares.

At any games show, there are standout titles that wow you from the get-go. Usually these have been hyped for eternity, come with big budgets behind them and deliver experiences that will last gamers hours and hours and hours. Of course, there are always the odd indie titles that pop up too, but on the whole, the showstoppers come from the biggest of big names. But just below that select group stand another type of game; those which may have gone under the radar just a little more than they should, those which are exciting enough to warrant more than a second glance, those that really do get the crowds excited! Here are 4 of the games found at EGX 2018 that wowed the crowds - you really should be keeping a beady eye on them.

Free-to-play is great and the word on the street is that since the release of Dungeon Defenders II back in 2017, that freeness has been fully embraced. But what if you need a little helping hand in the world of the action tower defense game? Well that is where the host of new bundles come in handy. 

If you thought the constant releases of the FIFA series, run of Call of Duty titles or any other annual franchise drop was a modern gaming problem then think again, for the King of Fighters series saw game after game churned out on a yearly basis. And now, after seeing every single King of Fighters games from 1994 until the end of the millennium make their way over to Xbox One, things still show no sign of giving up with the launch of King of Fighters 2001.

Back in 2015 the entire world went mad for the narrative surrounding photography student, Max, and her friend Chloe. It was such a success in fact that it won awards galore and spawned the arrival of Life is Strange: Before the Storm. Now though Square Enix and Dontnod Entertainment are ditching the girls for an all new tale - one of brothers Sean and Daniel Diaz in Life is Strange 2.
