In 2008 developer Tilted Mill released the first version of Hinterland, a fantasy action-RPG (with some town sim aspects) via download. Today the developer announced that a new free update for the game has been released via Steam along with a retail version of the game.

Hinterland: Orc Lords will give players of the original game a way to play as an Orc for the first time with two different classes (Orc Lord or Orc Shaman) available to play. In addition to the free Hinterland update the promised retail version of Hinterland: Orc Lords is now available in stores for $19.99 (it was previously due for release last March).

THQ's PC port of their open world action game Saints Row 2 is due for release in the first week of January and while the publisher hasn't given the PC version of Volition's latest game a lot of PR the game's official message boards have revealed its final system requirements.

The forums have also revealed that Saints Row 2 will use Steam for the game's DRM to authenticate the game. Volition's community manager states, " Essentially, Steam will be a verification system for the retail version. Steam will also have an offer to digitally download SR2 to a player's system if they don't want to leave the confines of their house. If you have a retail version, Steam is only going to verify that you have a real copy of the game when you are first installing and launching the game. We're trying to use a very low impact DRM here, since we've seen some of the headaches faced by other major game releases in recent months."
