Vermintide Celebrates 300,000 Sales With Free DLC

Fatshark, whom you might know as the developers behind War of the Roses, announced yesterday that Vermintide, their coop FPS/melee combat hybrid has reached 300,000 sales, an absolutely phenomenal number for an indie developer. And to celebrate this they are releasing their first DLC pack, Sigmar's Blessing, for free on December 3rd.
Vermintide is one of the rare few times (or so I like to delude myself in to thinking anyway) where I'm completely wrong about a game. I expected it to be yet another uninspired Warhammer game that is being released simply to cash in on its popular name. It didn't help that the early trailer made it look like a Left 4 Dead clone either. But I was wrong, oh boy was I wrong.

Impossible Creatures is a mad scientist themed RTS released in 2003 that simply had it all: Gorrilaphants, Whalebears, Rhinomantises, Tigermeleons, you name it.
But as time went on Relic switched to other projects and Impossible Creatures was slowly forgotten and rarely mentioned until it just appeared on Steam yesterday.

Despite being teased in the beta events for Heart of Thorns the raids (or raid, singular, in this case) did not ship with the expansion.
Finally, after almost a month of what I can only imagine was extra time to polish and balance it, the first Guild Wars 2 raid, Spirit Vale is coming to the game in November 17, 2015.

While I'm sad to see it go I can't say its unexpected. Their goal was to offer an alternative to GTA: Online, one without microtransactions or limits on what you can do and mess around with.
And as you might imagine they've recently got a take-down notice and are now shutting down all development for the mod.
Fallout 4 Is Released - Time To Lock Down Your Vaults

Lock yourself in a vault, bring ample supply of food and water, cut off any and all contact from the outside world and prepare. Or you can be a sane person and just play it in your spare time, either way Fallout 4 has arrived (November 10).
I'll get my teeth sunk in to the game as soon as possible and try to get out my own review in a couple of days, after I've had enough time to get a good view on it.
Rocket League Patch 1.08 Is Out Starring Mutators

When I first saw Rocket League I expected it to be one of those Internet fads, a game that surges in popularity for a few weeks, everyone talks about it and constantly plays it and then it slowly fades away and becomes forgotten (*cough* Slender *cough*).
What it turned out to be in the end is not a fad, but rather a very polished and even more so addictive game. And now, many months after release, Rocket League is not only going strong but is also getting ready for a major free patch.
