After a long development process, which included a little legal run in with the developers of The Elder Scrolls series, Mojang have finally released their new game, Scrolls today.

In a blog post on their site they wrote about the game “Scrolls costs $5 but you can play the demo version for free!” and pointed interested players to the new site at scrolls.com. Anyone who has previously bought the game or participated in Alpha or Beta testing will receive the full game on all formats at no extra cost.

To celebrate the release Mojang have also given all Minecraft accounts a special cape for your avatar to wear for two days, before it vanishes.

Scrolls has been released on PC, Mac and Android tablet and the demo version, with some features restricted, can be found on the site at scrolls.com

It seems that Valve need to stop trusting Paypal with the dates of their sales if they want to release the dates themselves. After giving a nod to the short sale that ended less than a fortnight ago, they’ve once again sent out an e-mail that lets us know when the Steam Winter Sale is to be taking place.

Paypal Japan have been sending out the e-mail in question which pinpoints the start of the Winter Sale as December 18th, which is just less than a week away. Best hope your wallets are recovered from the last sale.

Close as it might be to the Autumn Sale and Black Friday, the Winter Sale lasts longer and hopefully we’ll get some flash sales, badges and a bunch of other things that were absent from the last sale.

Did you miss any games last time?

Lovers of classic strategy games will be pleased to hear that another classic is due for a polish and re-release on Steam soon.

The game in question is Might & Magic III and its getting an HD remake it’s just been announced. As a strategy game it is not of the real-time genre, relying on turn-based combat but for fans of the original game they’re going to love the remake. There’s not any new content coming, but nothing’s being changed either. The new art is in the same vein as the original art and just serves to give the game a well-needed polish to make it look beautiful, and the music and sound are being fine-tuned to make them crisper and sharper.

Neither of the expansions are getting an upgrade as of yet, but if Might & Magic III HD does well, who knows? If you want to re-live some nostalgia or are just interested in what the fuss is about you can pick up a Steamworks-supported Might & Magic III HD from January 29th.

After a lot of hype from Blizzard in the wake of its reveal at Blizzcon last month, Hearthstone’s first proper expansion has released to players around the world.

Goblins vs Gnomes added over 120 new cards to the mix, including an awful lot of ‘random card’ effects which can do everything from giving you a random ‘Spare Part’ card to making it a 50/50 chance you attack the wrong opponent (thanks to those pesky Ogre cards). They also introduce a new minion type: the ‘Mech’.

The expansion launched first on the North American server but problems saw the release in further territories delayed as a result. Indeed the EU servers didn’t see release until quite late last night and even then it came with some authentication server issues that took an hour or two to clear up. Fortunately, there don’t seem to have been any purchase issues with the new card packs like the ones that plagued some of Naxxramas’ first few weeks. Well, unless you hastily forgot to check which card packs you were buying before you purchased as some unlucky players already have…

Blizzard are giving 3 free packs of the new cards to all players who log in before December 19th for a launch event so log in to claim those if you haven’t already.

And keep an eye on our own Twitch page for a livestream from 2pm BST. I’ve six card packs to open for you and a deck to hopefully construct.
