[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.
Fallout 4 Mod Allows You To Go Nuts With Weapon Enhancements

Its been a rather slow news day today so I decided to pop in to Fallout 4 and install a few mods, see if I can freshen the game up after playing it for over 50 hours.
And you know its going to be an interesting play session when the first mod I've come upon is "Any Mod Any Weapon" which, as you might deduce, allows you to shove any mod in to any weapon with hilarious results.
Fallout Inspired Isometric RPG "UnderRail" Is Coming Out Of Early Access On December 18th

The old Fallout and DnD RPGs defined my childhood so when UnderRail showed up on Early Access some three years ago I was instantly drawn to it. Ironically enough it was the rather plain graphics the game had back then that really got my attention, my reasoning being that if they decided to release an Early Access game looking like that they must've had a deep and complex game beneath it. As it so turns out, I was right.
Now, three years later the graphics have been much improved, along with everything else, and UnderRail is getting ready for its release on December 18th.
Star Citizen Alpha 2.0 Is Now Available | Starring Multi-Crew Ships, FPS Combat And Spacewalks

I might disagree with Star Citizen's business model of selling ships for real money but I can't deny how good they've been with the game's development. Frequent updates and constant communication are probably one of the main reasons Star Citizen is closing in on $100 million in funding, which as far as crowdfunding numbers go is out of this world.
Today's big update, simple titled Alpha 2.0, is bringing with it multi-crew ships, precision maneuvering, FPS combat, EVA (read as spacewalking) and a big ol' space station to explore. Mind you, Star Citizen is nowhere near finished but what they do have on display seems quite good.
"This War Of Mine" Update 2.0 Adds Mod Support

As you might have noticed previously I am a big fan of modding, I believe they extend a game's lifespan way past what it would normally be and they tend to fix almost every issue I have with a game.
So it is with a smile on my face that I'm here to tell you that the very depressing This War of Mine now has full mod support. You can create and edit anything from items and weapons to scenarios and locations themselves.
GOG Is Giving Away "Giants: Citizen Kabuto" For Free

I've tried Giants: Citizen Kabuto once before and let me tell you, despite playing it, I still have no idea what this game is supposed to be about exactly. It has space marines, sea witches, Kaiju, base building, tons of humor and both first person and third person shooting. How do you even begin to describe such a thing?
While it didn't sell well when it first released, Giants: Citizen Kabuto became a bit of a cult classic over the years. And given that its currently free on GOG I'd suggest you go and pick it up, you might enjoy its strange charms.
