The trailer shown above shows these devious players in action. Be aware that his patch is for the original version purchased directly from the official website, and not the one that's releasing on Steam next week, which already includes the Dark Elves.

"Blood Bowl, the imaginary forerunner of football, is an ultra violent team sport set in the Warhammer fantasy universe. It lets players compose a team of Orcs, Elves, Humans, Dwarves and many other fantasy creatures before jumping into the bloodiest arenas. The sport game is both strategic and violent. It requires tactics, a certain amount of game-sense and a lot of self-confidence."

Microsoft's last major update to their Games For Windows Live online service was a few months ago with the 3.0 client update. Today the company released a minor update to the the client that can be downloaded when you sign onto the service.

Besides unnamed bug fixes there are two notable upgrades that Microsoft mentions in its release notes. One is an update to the in-game client to "support DirectX 11 for future titles". That's good since the first out-of-the-box DirectX11 title, Codemasters' Dirt 2, is due for release on December 1. The other update is for the downloadable stand alone client "to make finding content for games easier."

Filed under: Downloads, Patches, RPG

The recently released $9.99 RPG Fort Zombie brought role playing to the overdone zombie genre. Now the folks at the game's devloper Kerberos Productions have released an automatic update to the game that brings some new free content to shoot even more undead flesh with.

Specifically the patch adds over 10 new missions to the game, some new weapons (two automatic pistols in fact) support for incremental weapon reloading and lots more. There are of course a bunch of changes and bug fixes in the latest auto update including one that fixes all known typos. We could use such a bug fix ourselves every day.
