As the most popular platform for PC gaming, you’d think that Steam would inflate their prices all the time- just because they could. Of course, the exact opposite is true; Steam’s always been fair with their prices, and I’ve never seen a game exorbitantly priced on the service. That’s why their holiday sale is absolutely [...]

As you can see in the above image, a French PC magazine has revealed that the Grand Theft Auto IV downloadable content “The Lost and the Damned” will be coming to the PC. It’s unlikely that a PC magazine would run a feature on a game that’s months old and not on PC, so we [...]

Back when the MAG beta was first released, I was lucky enough to get in on it. At first, I downloaded the game, pleasantly surprised at how small the file size for the game was (around 300MB) but as soon as I turned on the game itself, I was treated to a 1.8GB update. So [...]

Today is the day that the update to Team Fortress 2 finally hit, and can be installed simply by having Steam open and TF2 installed. If you don’t own the game, you can play for free this weekend by downloading the game here. Along with the update comes the news that the Soldier has won [...]

Today, Valve have released the information about all but one of the weapon unlocks, as well as the names and descriptions of the achievements for both classes. There’s a lot of exciting stuff to read through, so I’ll provide you with your links and an abridged description so you can be on your way. The [...]

Valve have today announced the first unlock for the Soldier, seen above. This one’s called “The Direct Hit”, probably because it rewards those who score, well, a direct hit. It has a 70% smaller blast radius than the normal rocket launcher, as well as an 80% faster firing speed and with “25% more destructive force.” [...]

Unfortunately, “LittleBigPirates of the Carribean” isn’t the official name for the map pack, but there’s still time, Media Molecule. The things that are official, according to MediaMolecule, are the pricing, release date, and content included in the pack. Sorry, Pirates fans- as an E-rated game, there’s no rum here. What there is included however, is [...]

The first weapons from the latest Team Fortress 2 update have been revealed today. The Demoman will be getting a huge sword to replace the Scrumpy Bottle, and a shield to replace the Sticky Launcher. The Soldiers are still ahead of the Demos in the war, however. The Eyelander is a giant melee sword that [...]

RPS reports that the cast from the original Left 4 Dead will meet the cast from this year’s Left 4 Dead 2 in a new update and DLC pack in early 2010. Valve have announced that the update will be for Left 4 Dead 2 and that the campaign will feature the eight characters’ meeting. [...]

Avatars are just like people. They have clothes, they receive awards, they have an interconnected system of veins and muscles that make up the human body shoes- but that’s not enough. No, our online representations need to be more realistic. They need sidekicks. They need pets. Or so Microsoft says.

Thanksgiving dinner transformed your waist into a zipper busting monstrosity, and in honor of this momentous occasion, Activision thought it would be a good idea to disfigure your face as well. Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee masks await your Xbox LIVE avatar as a part of the new Transformers pack released today. They’ll run you [...]

Microsoft promised to unlock a special promotion as a reward for your Twitter prowess, and today, with a tweet progress bar that reached its goal — they delivered the goods. From blue bird to yellow bird, your Xbox 360 avatar will be able to call a Chocobo his (or her) bitch … come this December. [...]

We reported the launch of Blizzard’s World of War Pet Store a few days ago, and it appears now that the Pandaren Monk pet (which runs $10) is sold out. Only the insanely loyal Blizzard population could conjure up a sold out status for a virtual item. In reality, as the headline states, the virtual [...]

The first DLC installment for Borderlands, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, will hit Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on November 24th, exactly two weeks from today. It will cost $10 USD, meaning 800 MS points. Unfortunately, there is no set date for when the DLC will hit the PC. And before you all cry [...]

Apparently Microsoft hands out “Microsoft Expert Zone” quizzes to retailers so that they can be better informed on the products that they’re selling. A recent quiz contained details on Mass Effect 2 DLC content, and as luck would have it, those details made their way to the internet.
