Should have known that when Blizzard went the digital distribution route, they'd even one up Steam at it. Right now, you can digitally download Warcraft 3 + exp and Starcraft + exp, with Diablo 2 + exp coming soon. The best part is you can use your old retail keys from your copies from 10...

http://kotaku.com/387903/fallout-3-lead-were-console-players-now I know after UT 3, a lot of people here are against games that were designed for the console being shoved onto the PC, but it looks like Bethesda is taking that lead. They even site Bioshock as an example they want to follow...

I hope all of you that were outraged by Bioshock will be even more outraged at this. http://kotaku.com/387846/mass-effect-copy-protection-an-opportunity-to-use-the-adjective-draconian You'll need to remind EA's authentication servers EVERY WEEK you have a legit copy of the game, which...

Ubisoft added Vegas 1 to Steam, normally $20 but $18 for a limited time. I used to own the game on PC, but it was quite a buggy mess, so I'm not sure if I'd really want to recommend it to anyone. But if you don't have any other way to play it, it's a decent game. Vegas 2 is up for preorder...

Got this off Slickdeals. No More Heroes for the Wii is only $27.99 shipped free (3 day UPS shipping) at Newegg! If it goes out of stock, be patient, it seems to come back in stock again quickly. It's in stock at the time of this posting. $49.99 everywhere else, except Amazon who has it...

Great news! From Steampowered: I can't really think of any Ubisoft games I absolutely loved, but more major publishers on Steam is always a good thing. Splinter Cell is waaaaaaaay overpriced, but Assassin's Creed is up for preorder now, which is good for those of your who wanted to...

Apparently Stardock is in the preview stages of their new Digital Distribution client called Impulse. I would link it, but the site seems to be down. Surprised I didn't see this on [H] before. Stardock claims it will be up and running by April 2008, they have almost every big name PC...

I don't know much about it, other than it has games that Steam doesn't have yet (or ever) like Supreme Commander and Oblivion. I know it doesn't patch automatically, and in their new user FAQ section it claims some mods aren't compatiable with the D2D games, and that "while it used to take a...

I have to say, I am surprised at the way Steam is going... people calling it the future of PC gaming, companies jumping on by the truckload. Even my one complaint, the prices, they are even working hard to rectify that - Two Worlds was $10 a week or two ago, now Prey is $5 this weekend! It's...

Just got the newsletter in my inbox, Zone 3 should be out now, so check it out. It offers PvP, a new race (Cyclops), crafting, a new mail system, new areas, new monsters, more quests! The best news is for people who don't yet have a key to Mythos, this email says that if the release of Zone...

Gotta say, pretty disappointed if it's true. Here is some info on the new maps: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/callofduty4modernwarfare/news.html?sid=6187656 And now I found this from Gamespy:

Casino Royale Spider-man 3 Live Free Of Die Hard Ocean’s Thirteen 300 SAW IV 3:10 To Yuma Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End The Simpson’s Movie The Game Plan Ratatouille On these titles. Not a bad selection at all, a lot of newer movies Amazon never featured - I...

Game has been out since Wednesday, can't believe no one on [H] has gotten it yet? I thought we were supposed to be supporting those developers who stick with the PC and only the PC ;) I kid, but seriously, can't believe no one is talking about it yet. Curious to see how all the new stuff...

Curious to see how many legitmately bought games people here own. Myself, it's more than 100 :( Of course, this is over a span of 10 years, going as far back as Worms and Fallout, as recent as Universe at War. The other problem is that it's REALLY hard for me to pass up a deal on any sort...

Not sure what the hell is going on, as the game worked fine last night. Now I'm getting kicked out 30 seconds into a game because Punkbuster has failed to communicate? I've updated PB, it's set to run through my firewall, I really don't get what the problem is because NOTHING has changed...

I've had this game for a long time (got it for free!) and decided to give it a whirl today. Wow... after Quake Wars, TF 2, and CoD 4, this game just seems too... slow, maybe? Anybody have any tips on how to possibly get better? The accuracy seems way off too. On an unrelated note, how...

It's not really adding anything amazing, but all the new kill cams would be interesting as well as the tweaked old school modes (and I guess sniper accuracy? not sure if that is a console only problem). Just wondering if we're getting this in a later, more inclusive patch, or is this the...

Well it's not all piracy, but it is the first bullet point he named, and he claims other problems stemmed from it. http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?t=42663 I thought it was really interesting about the measures they took to stop piracy, people thought it was a buggy...

Wow, sad day indeed... looks like they finished Soulstorm only to close down. They also made Titan Quest, as well. http://www.ironlore.com/index.php They don't say why they closed, but it's always sad to see another small PC only developer (who was actually decent) close up shop. I...

http://kotaku.com/361376/chris-taylor-+-secure-pc-gaming-is-the-future I assume the man is talking about Steam and it's ilk? If so, the industry is very slowly moving in that direction... if only Steam could freely alter prices as they see fit, and stop being bound by the brick and mortar...

Not sure how reliable this source is, but it makes sense since they did farm out Soulstorm to Iron Lore. http://www.videogaming247.com/2008/02/26/relic-working-on-dawn-of-war-2/

I have it, I boot it up when I start the PC, but it seems that I mostly just use it to record how long I play games... I've never really gotten anyone's Xfire name off a pub I've played on, or an RPG I've quested with them on, it just seems like something I open up simply out of force of habit...

http://pc.ign.com/articles/854/854119p1.html The interview is full of PR bullshit but it's semi refreshing to see that MS acknowledges there is a problem with the current pricing structure of Live for Windows. HUGE props to IGN PC for putting this out there, too. I think the fact that...

Fiancee was in Target today, browsing the clearance stuff for me, and found out they just added Universe at War to the clearance section. It's YMMV based on availability and price, i.e some Target's may have it for $35. With Target clearance, every week or two the price goes down too, so...

As a hardcore PC gamer (seriously, should see the amount of PC games I own right now) over the years, it is starting to sadden me to see all these developers jump on the bandwagon in kicking the PC while it's down... reminds of a lot of the HD-DVD thing, where one retailer bailed, and then they...

Wow, starting to notice a trend here - I'm a huge Chris Taylor fan, and it's sad to see that his future also lies in the console now, too. The full interview is up at IGN. It seems that for as much as people say PC gaming isn't dead, no, it's going to turn into more of an afterthought...

Basacially, when a developer fixes what's wrong with the game or adds more features, should a review site re-review the game, espicially sites tailored to PC games? The Witcher was just announced to get a huge, huge content patch in May which will address all the technical concerns (cut down...

Not a bad price if you were looking for this, even cheaper than the last time it just came up for $24.90 as part of the madness. Not sure how many people play this online, probably a ghost town just like Gears because of the stupid Live for Windows shit ruining it. Other deals: Infernal...

Ok, so I know this expansion is out in Europe, IIRC, but I can't seem to find if it's just a rebundling of the game or simply an expansion. I also can't find ANYWHERE what is going on with this expansion in the US. I'm kind of curious because I have about 51 minutes before Circuit City...

From IGN and EA: Awesome! PC version of Kane's Wrath comes out 3/24, so the game must be pretty far along to already have a huge public beta like this.

http://kotaku.com/356370/epic-and-the-cliffster-focusing-on-consoles-because-pc-gaming-is-in-disarray The man is an idiot, the sales success and interest of Sins of A Solar Empire (so far) blows his stupid little "theory" out of the water that PC gamers just want Sims games and WoW clones...

CC is running their 50% off all games $19.99 or under right now, but for some reason, their registers must be glitching, because certain games that aren't even $19.99 are coming up way more than half off. Maybe it's an unadvertised clearance or something, but I got these prices at more than...

It's the used deal of the week, it's pretty damn decent considering this game is $50 - $60 new everywhere else. I'm pretty sure it will eventually go GH cementing it at a $30 MSRP for a long time. If you have a discount card, you can get another 10%, making it only $18 =O...

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=180201&site=pcg The gist is that you'll get new weapons from unlocking achievements that alter how the class is played, that will replace other weapons. Very interesting way to shake things up. They also go in details about a new map...

Save 50% over every other retailer, as the MSRP for this is now $39.99! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7911058&st=quake+wars&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1149207793395 Free shipping too for those who don't want to go to the store! Even blows Steam's prices out of the water...

As much as I'm psyched for a free Undertow, I really hope MS isn't dropping the ball and *just* giving us this... espicially when so many awesome games are on the horizon!! I know the 30th is Rez HD and Chessmaster Live (heard this from a few places), but does anyone know what is on tap...

Straight from Kotaku which took it straight from the developer - http://kotaku.com/347398/consider-alan-wake-vista-exclusive

Just saw Best Buy has this on sale for a very generous $20... what I'm wondering, is did the community ever expand or did it shrink? Serverspy says there are only 64 people playing right now, but really, there is no way that can be right!! I enjoyed the demo a lot, just wondering if this...

Tons and tons and tons of Blu Ray's are on sale at Amazon right now from $15 - $20... how many? 230 Blu's, that's what ;) Lots of new releases too! The best deal of the bunch imo, and the one I snatched up, is the Spider-Man HD Trilogy for $43.49 =O...

Taken from Slickdeals, which took it from Cheapassgamer.com, blah blah blah. Anyways, here is the list, surprised it wasn't on [H] from the beginning... it's all console games, know there aren't a lot of console fans here but somebody will hopefully find something! $8.96 clearance XBOX...
