Ho boy, if you thought the Payday 2 community was angry when Overkill first added random stat boosts to paid skins, you've seen nothing yet.
Now, in Update 90, when you open a chest and get a random skin you not only have a chance for it to have an in-game stat boost, you also have a chance for it to give you (and your team) an experience and cash boost.
Space Engineers Update Brings Explorable Planets, Hostile Space Spiders And More

Space Engineers is one of those games I feel I should enjoy more but it never really clicked with me. This doesn't stop me from jumping in every time a new update arrives however.
And this time the patch is positively huge. Just the planets alone would've been enough to impress me. I mean, exploring fully destructible planets in your own space ship, what's not to like? Oh right, the giant space spiders.

[Edit] Since the writing of this article the expansion has also been released on the Chinese, Korean and Japanese servers.
In a move that surprised pretty much everyone Blizzard announced during this years Blizzcon that the Hearthstone expansion - The League of Explorers will be going live only a mere week later.
And now, a week has past and the first wing of the adventure, the Temple of Orsis is playable in the Americas region with the rest following soon.
Bored of waiting for the EU version to come online I opted to get a sneak peak with the NA client and my first impressions are quite good.
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.
