Full reveal and details at E3 With this generation’s meteoric rise ofCall of Dutycame a similar interest in gaming headsets.

Lack of honesty in the game’s marketing cited After rising through the Steam Greenlight approval process,Earth: Year 2066was released on Steam Early Access just last month for $19.99. If you follow Jim Sterling’s fine work over at The Escapist, you’ll beall too familiarwith this godawful game.

Instrumental version of the tune with cosplay inspiration Lindsey Stirling is back with a brand new video for her single“Shatter Me,”only this time she’s ditching Halestorm’s Lzzy Hale for a wordless instrumental version of the song set to what I can only describe as a cosplay video forChild of Light. It’s pretty, I guess, though I would have rather seen bits of gameplay interspersed with the song. You know, I’m not really a Lindsey Stirling fan....

New engine for the 15 year old game My brief experience withRunescapemust have been more than 10 years ago. A friend played, I guess, and was playing. Maybe he was showing it to me in the hopes that I, too, would play; with him, no less! Instead, what I did was take over the keyboard, becauseRunescapeis click click click kind of deal, and hurled insults like they were fireballs. I pissed off anyone within earshot, begging them to try and fight “me” as my panic-stricken friend tried to flee from the growing angry mob that wanted to wreck his shit....

Then on December 8, be sure to tune into The Game Awards via the Steam app. All qualifying participants, who are currently watching the ceremony via Steam will be placed into a lottery....

I’m happy that I get to write this story because I love our European readers and it makes me really sad every time I have to write a story about a game that isn’t coming out there. Or that a game is going to be coming out three months after everyone else gets to play. Or that North America and Japan are getting cool pre-order bonuses but Europe receives jack sh*t....

According to Ubisoft, that is In news that probably wouldn’t surprise anyone, Ubisoft estimated in their 2012-13 financial fiscal report thatAssassin’s Creed IIIsold well over 3.5 million copies in only its first week of hitting shelves. To put things in perspective,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3sold 6.5 million copiesin its first 24 hours last year.

Today, Svensson announced that he’s left Capcom voluntarily amid a planned reorganization for the firm which will include layoffs....
