Finally! Steam Can Download While You Play
Like most PC gamers, I love Steam. Sure, its awesome sales have put a dent in my wallet and given me a library of games I’ll probably never finish, but it’s a brilliant service nonetheless. I’ve always had one major problem with it, though – downloads pause while playing. Countless times I’ve wanted play something while I download a couple of titles in order to scratch them off my backlog, but no such luck. Thankfully, the most recent Steam update…

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Expansion Included With PS4 Version
There have been plenty of announcements at this year's BlizzCon, including the reveal that the Playstation 4 Diablo III release will include the Reaper of Souls expansion. Reaper of Souls will be packed with new features, including more randomization. Game director Josh Mosqueira understands that the original Diablo III campaign didn't sit right with many, primarily since none of the areas truly felt different when revisiting them. The older Diablo releases had a lot of randomized design, and Mosqueira and the rest of the developers aim to fix that with the new campaign featured in Souls.

Call of Duty: Ghosts (Might Have) Sold Well
It's no surprise to anybody with a brain, but Call of Duty: Ghosts appears to have done very well. They've shipped a billion dollars worth of units (some 17 million), some of which will presumably have been snapped up by consumers. That's the problem - we just don't know.

A Realm Reborn Sales Better than Expected
The history of Final Fantasy XIV is a little rough. It had to basically be remade from scratch after it released to terrible reviews and financial ruin. It would have been the first truly bad Final Fantasy game ever released, if not for A Realm Reborn, which was significantly better than the original release.

Blizzard Trademarks Warlords of Draenor
Blizzard has filed a trademark for Warlords of Draenor, according to a post on MMO Champion. If this turns out to be an actual game, it more than likely is another expansion for World of Warcraft (Draenor is the orc's homeland). Adding further proof to this rumor is the fact warlordsofdraenor.com was registered over a month ago. However, this new domain comes with a couple of problems. For one, it was purchased on Go Daddy, which is not a place major businesses typically go to in order to buy up websites. The other issue is that Blizzard hasn't been known to create sites for the World of Warcraft expansions, so this Draenor page is very questionable, and I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a hoax.
