Given the popularity of Dark Souls as a series and the short comic that preceded the release of Dark Souls 2 the only surprising thing here is how long it took for an official comic book to show up.
In a short announcement over at IGN George Mann, the writer behind the comic, announced that Dark Souls #1 will be releasing on April 6th, shortly before Dark Souls 3's launch. Here's one of the four cower images announced:

Back when Cities: Skylines first released it was exactly what the genre needed to stave off a decline in to irrelevance. A well done, semi-serious city management/builder sim without any of the bloat and nonsense that came with Sim City.
And now Cities: Skylines is poised to become even better as a new expansion titled Snowfall has been announced, bringing with it a new weather system and everything that entails, new modes of transportation and a lot more. Here's the announcement trailer:

As a big fan of strategy games Firaxis has been one of rare few companies to consistently feed my "addiction" with quality releases that had never lost that "I need to play one more turn..." feeling despite hundreds of hours I sunk in to them.

Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak is a prequel to the excellent Homeworld 1 which released back in 1999 and redefined the RTS genre with a focus on large scale conflicts, compelling storytelling and persistence between missions.

Darkest Dungeon's Early Access campaign was a bit of a roller-coaster of emotions. When it first released it was a crowd favorite earning obscene amounts of praise for everything from gameplay to art style but during the mid point in development a couple of patches made the game a bit more tedious than the players appreciated which turned in to wide spread criticism only to have that criticism turn back in to praise a patch later.
And now after successfully enduring the Early Access trials Darkest Dungeon is set to release today, January 19th. Along with the announcement came a new spiffy release trailer, take a look:
