Minecraft, Diablo III and Steam
First up in this three parter of news, is the confirmation of a rumour going around last week. Remember this? Well, it turns out it was no rumour and completely true. The Steam Wallet gift cards have gone on sale in U.S. GameStop stores in $20 and $50 denominations. While I understand that GameStop [...]

20. Forza Motorsport 4 The place of shame this week goes to Forza Motorsport 4…again. This keeps cropping up in here. Not that I’m complaining, I just wish this game would hurry up and decide whether or not it wants to be in these charts. Stop dipping in and out of my periphery vision! [...]
Read More →Rumoured Steam vouchers and Epic Games celebrates 20 years
Kotaku reported a couple of days ago, that a “GameStop source” says that soon, the U.S. brick and mortar chain will be selling “Steam vouchers”, in much the same way that retail stores currently sell cards for XBL and PSN. There aren’t very many details, but, assuming this isn’t some sort of hoax, this is [...]

Well, more than a year on and Valve are still coming out with awesome stuff for Portal 2. Their latest concoction? Nothing short of bloody awesome is what.

20. UFC Undisputed 3 The place of shame this week goes to UFC Undisputed 3, which has dropped 3 places this week from 17th. Co-incidence? No! It’s proof that Half-Life 3 will be out 17th of March, 2013! #tinfoilhat In case it wasn’t obvious, I’m joking. 19. Gran Turismo 5 19th place and the year and [...]
Read More →EA? Indie? Seriously?
No. Non. Nein. Iie. (That’s Japanese, for those not in the know) How many times can I say it? How many languages do you want it in? NO. My personal love/hate relationship with EA is well documented on this site now, so I’m not going to go into it, but I just can’t believe this [...]
Read More →Portal 2: Perpetual Testing Initiative
Huh, no sooner do I get done writing about Portal 2 a year on and doing a re-review, than do I hear news about a new DLC arriving for it. That’s timed to perfection Valve…scarily so. GET OUT OF MY HEAD. Anyway, the DLC in question, titled “Perpetual Testing Initiative”, has actually been in production [...]
Read More →One year on: Portal 2 re-review
I have written a Portal 2 review before, but the site gremlins ate it some time ago and I was never really happy with it, so now I present to you a newer version that I am more pleased with. Where to start? Well, as good a place as any would be to say that [...]
Read More →One year on: Portal 2
Today is one year to the day. One year since the conclusion of the ARG, the strange transmissions, the ominous countdown clock and the resurrection of one extremely homicidal AI. One year since what is, quite possibly, Valve’s best game to date hit both Steam and high-street shelves. Happy Birthday Portal 2! Now, as someone [...]

Two-parter today to make up for the lack of news yesterday (curse those slow news days). First up is the sudden and surprising news that Peter Molyneux, the man behind such titles as Black & White and Fable, is leaving both his post as top man of his studio, Lionhead, and his role with Microsoft [...]
