We've certainly come a long way from the times where even the thought of Japanese games ever appearing on the PC was considered about as likely as a Unicorn giving you a lift to work.

Just this month alone we have Tales of Symphonia, Disgaea and now Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc all coming to Steam. In Danganronpa's case the release date is set for February 18th at $29,99 price point with an added 20% discount and bonus soundtrack for early adopters. Here's the trailer:

Hearthstone's spring update is adding a Standard & Wild format

In a rather surprising blog post Blizzard announced that they will be splitting up Hearthstone's ranked mode in to Standard & Wild leagues which are essentially a straight up copy of MTG's Standard & Legacy.

Besides the two new leagues the spring update will bring with it more deck slots (!), the removal of Naxx & GVG, a rebalance of the classic card set and a bunch of brand new cards. Here's a short overview of what exactly is happening:

Origin is offering Need For Speed: Most Wanted for free

Origin's "On The House" program is essentially cheap advertising for the platform but I don't think anyone can really complain about getting a free game every few months.

This time around its Criterion's 2012 Need for Speed: Most Wanted whose single player campaign is a bit lackluster but the multiplayer is as excellent as ever. Here's the trailer if you need to refresh your memory:

Shadowrun: Hong Kong is getting a massive free update

If there ever was a development team that did Kickstarter campaigns right it would be Harebrained Schemes, the folks behind the modern Shadowrun games. They ask for reasonable sums of money, have well laid out plans and deliver excellent games right on schedule.

And if that's not enough to convince that HS really do care about their games then the fact that they just announced 5 hours of completely free extra content for Shadowrun: Hong Kong should. Here's the announcement message:

My detailed review of the first two parts of Steve Jackson's Sorcery!

Sorcery! is a faithful adaptation of Steve Jackson's Fighting Fantasy gamebooks of the same name and much like them it features an astoundingly well realized world filled with plenty of choices to make, monsters to bedazzle, werewolves to duel and mysteries to solve.

The first two parts of the Sorcery! quadrilogy will be arriving on Steam today with the third part following shortly and part 4 set for later this year. But for now let's focus on the first half and see how well it stands up to scrutiny on its own.

Fallout 4's Update 1.3 brings new features and many bug fixes

Despite playing a lot Fallout 4 I never really encountered many bugs or glitches which now I realize was an extremely fortunate thing. As it turns out some people were completely locked out from finishing the game, or even entering various areas until today's update 1.3 solved the problem, yikes.

Along with some very welcome bugfixing this update also brought in a couple of graphical tweaks to the PC version of Fallout 4 as well as much needed quality of life improvements for the settlements. Here's the full list of patch notes:
