Stronghold Kingdoms introduces tough AI commanders in new PVE expansion Rise of the Wolf
Firefly Studios has released a new expansion for its castle-building free to play MMO Stronghold Kingdoms, titled Rise of The Wolf. It sees the return of several classic Stronghold characters.

Valve requires that all Source 2 games be sold through the Steam store
Valve's Source 2 engine will be free for developers to use, which seems to be the way a lot of graphics engines are headed these days, but there is one caveat users will need to bear in mind.
Anyone who uses the engine must sell their game on the Steam store, ensuring that Valve does at least get a cut of the revenue for each digital copy sold.
Underworld Ascendant passes next stretch goal, adds Lizardmen as a new race, Enhanced Music and Companion Creatures
One of the best things about reporting on video game news is that you get to use sentences like “lizardmen have been unlocked as a stretch goal” without everyone assuming you're insane.

D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die GDC demo suggests it might be on the way to PC
Japanese developer SWERY 65 demonstrated a version of his episodic adventure game D4: Dark Dreams Don’t Die running on PC at GDC this week, prompting rumours that the game will be released on the platform.

Total War: Attila shifts 21,680 copies in the UK in its debut week
Creative Assembly's Rome-sacking simulator Total War: Attila did a decent job for the studio in its first week on sale last month - according to the new issue of MCV, the game sold 21,680 (Digital/Retail) units in the UK.
For some baffling reason game sales charts still omit digital purchases, which is fairly ridiculous since only 19 per cent of Attila's sales came via boxed retail copies.
