Just a few updates of late one been a core site update again!




So far so good no spambots have signed up since the added protection, time well tell though.

Valve has bundled a whopping Complete Pack of games together on Steam for a quite ridiculous discount price.




In total there are 22 titles, including Left 4 Dead, all of the Half-Life series, both Team Fortress outings, Portal, the Counter-Strike collection, the pair of Day of Defeat games and Peggle Extreme.

Individually, that amounts to USD 234 (GBP 157). But Valve is selling the Complete Pack for just USD 99 (GBP 66).

Head over to the Steam website for more information on the Complete Pack, or buy it.

Valve has issued a press release proclaiming that its zombie-fleeing shooter Left 4 Dead is finished, off to the presses, and is now pre-loading for customers who have bought the game in advance over the company's Steam digital distribution service.

They have also released the posters for each campaign as downloadable images, any of which will surely serve as stylish desktop backgrounds in anticipation of the co-op zombie shooter's November 18th (US) / 21st (Europe) release.




Who can't be fucking excited eh??

The demo is now downloadable and playable on all Steam and Xbox Live accounts. The demo will be available till the game is officially released on the 21st November in Europe.

The Xbox 360 demo is 1.2GB, and offers up the first two maps of the No Mercy campaign, which are playable both on your own and with friends. The Steam demo is the same but a little bit bigger to download.

Left 4 Dead is the co-operative zombie-survival shooter from Valve, where groups of four humans use guns to ward off hordes of Infected, which move frighteningly fast and savagely.

Microsoft plans to release Halo Wars next February, in both Standard and Limited Collector's Edition guise.

The latter is chock full of extras, according to Microsoft's Gamerscore blog. Included will be early access to the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3, bizarrely, featuring the Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox areas.

There's also the Halo Wars: Genesis comic book created by lead game designer Graeme Devine, Halo novel writer Eric Nylund, and artist Phil Noto. This book adds some backstory to the Covenant interest in the world of Harvest.

On top of that are unique in-game "Honor Guard" Wraith vehicle, some trading cards of faction leaders, and a Spirit of Fire patch to begin the game as a member of the SOF crew.

Electronic Arts today announced that DICE's first person platform-action title Mirror's Edge has gone gold.




To mark the occasion, EA also passed along the final trailer for the game. The short montage contains a look at a few levels and colour schemes we haven't seen before.

Mirror's Edge is set to ship next week, on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The PC version will hit sometime in the next few months.

The Xbox 360 multiplayer beta for Treyarch's WWII shooter Call of Duty: World at War is now available for any and every Xbox Live Gold member to download and play, the developer has announced on the game's official site.

The download can be found under the Call of Duty: World at War category within the online Xbox Live Marketplace.

The beta launched in mid-October, at the time restricted to only those that had access tokens. The full game arrives at retailers on November 11, with the now-public beta essentially acting as a demo for the wartime shooter.

A multiplayer beta is also underway on the PC, and is likewise open to anyone.
