Witcher 3 Lighting Mod Makes The Game Look Phenomenal

There have been other attempts at re-doing The Witcher 3's lighting, even different versions of this same mod, but it wasn't until this version that I've been properly impressed.
Today's update of the "Super Turbo Lighting Mod" along with the release of its trailer has convinced me that when I once again get Geralt back in the saddle its going to be with some even better visuals than the vanilla game could muster, and that's no easy feat.

I've talked about the upcoming 2.4 patch for Diablo 3 when it was first entering its test phase and now over a month later they're finally sharing more information about it.
In a recent post over on the Diablo 3 blog Blizzard spoke about what exactly we'll be able to find in Greyhollow island, the brand new map coming with patch 2.4, as well as their inspirations and goals while creating it. If you're interested in a brief overview of the new zone as well as the trailer you will find them below.

This is actually the second time GOG is offering a free game in a single week and while I don't know what prompted them to start doing so I can't say I'll complain much.
Today they are offering Worms Forts: Under Siege, a 3D variant of the classic Worms games. The promotion is set to last for three days after which the game returns to it regular price.

This Week In PC Gaming is an easy way to catch up with all of the news that you might have missed the past week, organized in such a way that you can get a brief overview on all of the stories and from there you can find more information on those you are interested in.
Given that Christmas season is fast approaching there were a lot of announcements and updates happening all throughout the week so this first pilot article is going to be a content-packed one. With that said, let's jump right in:
The Importance Of Testing - CS:GO Revolver Patch

- in News
If you've been paying attention to the PC based news sits the past few days you would have noticed the utter confusion many, including me, felt after Valve added the R8 revolver in CS:GO's Winter Update.
Even my relatively mediocre self after 10 minutes of play could see that the gun was busted, yet it still launched along with the rest of the patch to a crowd of around 700k daily CS:GO users. Why was this allowed to happen?
You Should Try: Nosgoth - Team Based Multiplayer Madness

[Update] Unfortunately, Nosgoth is going to be closing down its doors by the end of May due to a lack of players.
"You Should Try" is a new series of articles where I'll showcase you a game I really enjoy while explaining what exactly makes it fun and memorable. This can be any game, new or old, indie or AAA, the only requirement is that it has to be something I've found myself greatly enjoying and in need of sharing with the world.
Today, I think you should try Nosgoth, an asymmetrical multiplayer game where vampires face off against humans and only through teamwork can you hope to survive.
Humongous "7 Days To Die" Update Adds HD Zombies, Dismemberment, Weather Survival, New UI And More

When 7 Days To Die first came on to Steam Early Access it seemed like a game that was trying to cash in on the Minecraft phenomena as well as the open world zombie survival one. After seeing its first gameplay videos show off some incredibly dumb zombies and dated graphics I assumed the worst and swiftly forgot all about it.
Turns out I shouldn't have because 7 Days to Die has been updated both frequently and extensively, and right now looks nothing like the game I saw a long time ago. One such massive update has arrived yesterday bringing with it an absolutely ridiculous list of changes that contains, among others, HD zombies, dismemberment, a new UI, heat/cold survival system, more item, weapons and a lot more.
