The first week of December sees several retail and downloadable PC games and expansions make their way to store shelves and download services:

Dirt 2 - While the console versions of Codemasters' rally racer were released last September, the PC version that comes out this week has the distinction of being the first PC game released in the US that has DirectX11-supported graphics out of the box.

EVE Online: Dominion is the 12th free expansion to the sci-fi themed MMO and is scheduled to launch on December 1st. The game client installer downloaded here.

"DOMINION represents the type of conquest never realized by pretty words and poetry. It is true power born from the broken hulls of a thousand starships, the genes of the ambitious and the hubris of the greedy. EVE's 12th free expansion offers the power of control to anyone bold enough to seize it, bringing you the tools for you to rally legions together and carve out your own space.

DOMINION enhances the tools of communication and evolves the dynamics of war, altering the very way in which pilots interact with each other through warfare or cooperation. The vast riches of sovereign authority await for those bold enough to seize them amidst a beautiful, deadly universe of possibility."

It's not exactly a shock to learn today that developer CCP plans to release a new free content expansion for their space-based MMO EVE Online. Coming this winter, EVE Online Dominion will be the 11th such free expansion for the popular MMO.

Among the new features coming to Dominion will be a revamp of the alliance warfare gameplay model along with pirate missions, the first parts of a new social networking feature called COSMOS, visual revamps of planets and more. CCP will discuss the expansion pack during the Penny Arcade Expo this weekend. However they do not plan to discuss the just announced Dust 514 console game at PAX 2009. It's likely they are holding off until their Fanfest in October to reveal more details.
