The Long War was a truly excellent mod so to see the team behind it branch off in to actual game making is great news

XCOM and its expansion Enemy Within occupied much of my time the past year, the combination of slick graphics and tactical decision-making simply proving too irresistible. However, as I played the games for the second and even third time it became quickly apparent that while the early game progression is satisfying the mid to late game simply goes by too quickly to ever enjoy properly.

This is where the Long War mod came in and completely revolutionized how I play XCOM. Suddenly there were even more classes, even more choices to have and an alien AI that was capable of matching me during long campaigns, in other words everything I wanted out of XCOM to begin with.

My detailed review of UnderRail, an isometric turn-based indie combat RPG with plenty to offer

UnderRail is an isometric, as oldschool as it gets, turn-based CRPG set in a post-apocalyptic future where the surface has been rendered uninhabitable and the remnants of the human population now live, and war against each-other, in metro tunnels and caverns surrounding them.

It features an in-depth character creation system with plenty of skills and perks to chose from as well as a nice variety of options when it comes to dealing with problems, everything from talking your way out of them to simply shooting the problem in the face.

These two Witcher 3 mods allow you to play as other characters and even travel with companions

While you do briefly get to play as Ciri every now and then, many have been asking if CD Projekt could maybe make a new game plus mode with her completely replacing Geralt.

And while the mods showcased today don't exactly fit that bill (the voice-work will still be Geralt's) they will allow you to both play as different characters from The Witcher 3 as well as have some of them as companions so you don't go insane just talking to Roach all day.

Due to issues with the rights-holders GOG will be removing all Duke Nukem games come December 31

GOG is bidding farewell to some of the most classic oldschool PC games out there: Duke Nukem 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Balls of Steel and Manhattan Project.

The reason for this removal is some sort of issue with the rights-holders but GOG is working on bringing them back as soon as possible. All Duke games will be on sale until December 31 so if you're up for chewing some bubblegum and kicking ass now would be the time.

Race the Sun developers Flipply are looking towards their community to help them chose a new game to work on

Race the Sun, for those that never played it, is a runner-style racing game where you go forwards at breakneck speeds trying to avoid various hazards as you... well, try to race the sun. Its a relatively simple game but really well done and the few euros I spent on it I would consider well spent.

And now the developers behind it, Flippfly, are asking you to chose which of the prototypes they've prepared is worthy enough to become a fully fledged game. Here's a brief video from the developers explaining the concept:
