Update: We've just been informed the GoG version hasn't been released yet!

Video games, as a whole, have been mining Norse Mythology for ideas and story beats since someone said “let’s implement a story as to why these pixels just stabbed these other pixels.” And why not, right? Nordic myths are chock full of good versus evil, insurmountable odds, stalwart heroes, monsters and/or dragons, and a body coun...

2K Games is getting ready for that holiday shopping season we're about to be hearing so much about. Two of its heavy-hitting properties are rolling out in special console package editions so you'll have something to do instead of sit with your family while they eat stuffed birds: Evolve turns ultimate, and Borderlands turns triple.

Evolve's stance on alien life is pretty clear: blow it to pieces before it devours you. That might seem a bit violent and certainly unscientific, but come on. Look at that thing. If there's an alien race out there even remotely similar to the baddies in Evolve, our one approach can only be a tactical nuclear strike. 

If you're looking for a way to spend your weekend in gaming, check out Hearthstone's Tavern Brawl mode for a unique co-op opportunity. Until 3:00 AM PDT Monday, you and a friend can team up using pre-made decks to battle the mechanical Mechazod and bring it down.

You want some Trine? Steam's got your Trine... right here. This weekend, now through Monday 10 a.m. PST, you can grab any or all of Frozenbyte's co-op puzzle platform games for 50-85% off. Get 'em, get two friends, then settle in for some fantastic online or local co-op gaming.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 brings back co-op proper to the series, featuring a full four player co-op campaign on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Gamers on the Xbox 360 and PS3 are missing out on the campaign unfortunately. That said everyone does get the four player co-op zombies mode which can be enjoyed either online or in local split-screen play. Take that Master Chief.

As Extra Life's 24 hour gaming marathon quickly approaches, you can always count on Humble Bundle to spread a little love with an Extra Life themed bundle. This year you can pick up a nice collection of games and in-game goodies, several of which include co-op in some shape or form. Check out the full details below.

If you've played any of the Fable games, you're probably well acquainted with the furry ferocities known as Balverines.  Though they're rarely central to the plot, the creatures go hand-in-hand with the Fable experience.  They're like Tauntauns in Star Wars, or used needles at a music festival.  The latest "Return to Albion" video shows Fable Legends continuing in the lycanthrope tradition, although these Balverines may be slightly different than the ones you remember.

One of the largest criticisms of any of the "toys-to-life" games is that at some point you'll need to buy additional characters in order to play through all the non-story path areas. LEGO Dimensions has come up with a great workaround to this by implementing a new "Hire a Hero" system.

Another Kickstarter success, Hover: Revolt of Gamers will be headed to the Xbox One at some point in the future. Currently, the game is available on Steam Early Access where it's still working on fixing bugs and getting to a more complete state.

Towards the end of September, we heard from Overkill that they were working on a patch for the Xbox One version of PAYDAY 2 that would address the biggest issue of the game: the matchmaking (or lack, thereof). No date for when this patch would be available was given, but it looks like it will be here sooner than the end of the year.
