Steam Workshop To Expand Further With Civ5
Civilization V is going to be the next addition to the ever growing Steam Workshop when the Gods & Kings expansion drops later this month. Civilization V was released with an in-game mod database, but as detailed on this 2K Games blog they are going one step further with the use of the Workshop which will work with both the base game and the expansion. This announcement comes in the wake of Toki Tori 2 revealing it will use the Workshop, and of course the opening of the DOTA 2 Workshop.
Valve have clearly hit on an exciting market with the Workshop, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see many other titles make use of the service further down the line. ARMA 3 springs to mind as a game that would work perfectly with Valve’s latest toy. What games do you want to see make use of the Workshop?

Despite that, below the jump you can find a surprisingly impressive trailer for The Testament of Sherlock Holmes, a detective ’em-up from Ukrainian developers Frogwares.

Tomb Raider E3 Gameplay Trailer – A Whole World Of Pain
My heart sank a little when it was announced that Square Enix will be delaying Tomb Raider until early 2013. A few more months is not long to wait I know and will most likely be beneficial to the game as a whole. But it’s been such a long time since the last Tomb Raider that I’m starting to have withdrawal symptoms and find myself hanging out windows and swinging from ropes just to get that sense of adventure again……
