EA ACCESS ARRIVES ON PC AS ORIGIN ACCESS

http://www.pcgamer.com/ea-access-programme-arrives-on-pc/

I was surprised that EA chose to launch its subscription service on Xbox before PC, so this news feels like confirmation of the inevitable: EA Access, now named Origin Access, is live in the UK, US, Canada and Germany. For £3.99/€3.99/$4.99 per month, you can play any of the 15 games in the line-up, with more from EA's catalogue to be added over time.

http://www.pcgamer.com/diablo-3-240-patch-is-now-live-in-the-americas/

The Diablo 3 2.4.0 patch has been unleashed upon the Americas, and as promised, it's a biggie. It adds a new forested locale called Greyhollow Island, new additions to the Ruins of Sescheron and Leoric's Manor zones, 24 custom-designed “set dungeons” built around specific class sets, empowered Rifts, Season Rebirths, a revised Buff Bar, and the addition of "Action Combat," which is apparently a popular feature on the console versions of the game, to the PC edition. And those are just the big bits.

The enfiggening of Psychonauts 2 has come to an end with more than $3.8 million raised, well beyond its goal of $3.3 million. With the finish line crossed, Double Fine livestreamed an “End of Campaign celebration” on Twitch, which is now over but still available on demand, with an appearance by original Psychonauts writer (and current Valve guy) Erik Wolpaw.

http://www.pcgamer.com/heroes-of-the-storms-newest-hero-is-a-shape-shifting-worgen/

We've known Greymane was on his way to Heroes of the Storm since BlizzCon, but today he finally entered the nexus—and more importantly, we finally got a look at his abilities. While transformation being a part of his kit was sort of a given, I wasn't sure how they would go about implementing that mechanic. Whether as a Heroic ability like Muradin's Avatar, not directly controllable like League of Legends' Gnar, or just simply pressing a button as part of his passive.

PAYDAY 2 IS GETTING A GOAT SIMULATOR GAME MODE

http://www.pcgamer.com/payday-2-is-getting-a-goat-simulator-game-mode/

Goats are a constant source of ridicule in video games, and sometimes I worry that we're taking it too far. Goats are probably a lot smarter than they look. There are humans that look much dumber than goats. I see them every day.

 

EXPLORE THE APOCALYPSE BY TRAIN IN THE FINAL STATION

http://www.pcgamer.com/explore-the-apocalypse-by-train-in-the-final-station/

I still think there's life in the zombie apocalypse. I'm not sure what the idea to refresh the shambling undead will be, but maybe The Final Station's freight train is the thing to do it. I'd rather this than Fallout's Thomas the Tank Engine at any rate.
