Today saw the release of the fifth content update for Lord of the Rings Online. Titled ‘Book 13: Doom of the Last-king,’ the update brings plenty of content for avid players. There’s a completely new region, complete with its own dynamics. It’s below freezing in the land of Forochel and you’ll regularly need to find shelter or a camp fire. Along with Forochel, comes the Lossoth, a new Faction who are suspicious of any outsiders.  On top of that is a new hobby system, the continuing of the official quest and over 100 new quests. Be sure to check out the exclusive new screenshots below.

While console players are tucking into Rockstar’s GTAIV (and you can find our review here), PC gamers will be rejoicing in a free content update from Valve for the ever popular Team Fortress 2. The biggest addition in the update is the new game-mode / map Goldrush which has one team escorting a mining cart along a twisty path while the other team attempts to halt its progress by killing the other team. On top of that are 39 new Medic achievements, three new items for the Medic, new speech samples, animations, source engine fixes, tweaks and exploit rectification. It’s sure to please you TF2’ers out there and keep you entertained for many weeks to come. If you’re unsure what Team Fortress 2 is then make sure you read our review.
