Adhesive Games' mech-based shooter Hawken recently hit Steam Early Access a few weeks ago. However, it did so somewhat at the expense of its free-to-play status, since new players needed to purchase a bundle to participate. This is no longer the case and the game is now completely free-to-play once again.
Mode 7's venture into the futuristic football field, Frozen Endzone, has been in beta since December. But now the developer is setting its sights a bit wider by bringing Frozen Endzone into the Steam Early Access arena.

The long wait is almost over for Dark Souls fans (unless you're on PC, of course), as Dark Souls II will finally arrive tomorrow. Namco Bandai is commemorating the occasion with a new launch trailer that reminds players that they will die. A lot.
Nintendo's servers will be undergoing a fresh bout of extended maintenance later this week, leading to some brief downtime for the Wii U and 3DS eShops. A separate maintenance routine will affect Pokemon X & Y later today, meaning you won't be able to utilize the game's online services until Tuesday morning.
Shacknews was proud to name Gone Home as one of our best games of 2013, as it was one of the most memorable narrative-based experiences in recent memory.

An image promoting the upcoming PlayStation Now service may have given us a better idea of what to expect from its pricing structure. If the prices turn out as shown on the image, we may see streaming PS3 games going for as little as $4.99.
Xbox's Games with Gold program was largely seen as an answer to PlayStation Plus, but the reception hasn't been as warm as it was to Sony's subscription plan.

Live-action trailers are awfully popular these days, and with Infamous: Second Son cresting the horizon, it's apparently time for Sony to take a turn. A new trailer for the open-world action game gives a taste of its anti-superhero dystopia.
Telltale and Gearbox have taken the wraps off of Tales from the Borderlands, the narrative-driven partnership announced last year. In a panel at the SXSW conference over the weekend, the studios outlined the story as told from two perspectives: a con-artist named Fiona and a Hyperion worker named Rhys.
Like Los Angeles in the 1940s, space is full of stars flaring up, burning out, fading away, and dying spectacularly.

Oh, happy days! Next week will finally bring the launch on Dark Souls II, on consoles at least. We're also seeing the PC and Xbox One launch of Titanfall, Yoshi's New Island for 3DS, TowerFall Ascension on PC and PS4, and oh, some other pretties too.
