Most gamers already thought the prospect of Crytek's CryEngine 3 was rather sweet. 'Better graphics' than Crysis, support for current generation consoles, and a leap from the jungle to the cityscape of New York with Crysis 2. Well here's the icing on your cake; CryEngine 3 will feature full and tailored support for 3D gaming. Eat up!...

That was a bit of a mouthful. To elaborate; Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is now being played by Americans right across the United States - that's if they've downloaded the additional 300mb patch which delivers "assorted fixes, some perf improvements, fov controllable via Settings.ini (fov=55 default I think)". An official patch change-list is expected later today......

Looking forward to Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Me too. I've even updated the GU theme in anxious anticipation. But before you set your alarms and prep Steam for launch, forget everything you thought you knew, because it seems the release schedule for Bad Company 2 still isn't quite clear. Here's what we do know, right now:...

Welcome to the first of many monthly re-caps at GU, starting with the month just past; February 2010. Here we'll get a chance to have another look over recent releases, industry happenings, and some of the award-worthy and sometimes stupid things we've said in comment and debate.....

Oh how we've pined for something, anything!

Update: it now looks like this bug has been squashed. Please resume normal activities. Over the past few hours I've seen wide-spread PS3 panic all over the web - angry posts on forums and distress calls on Facebook. It turns out that if you don't have a Slim model, a bug in the system's clock functionality is causing game crashes and losses of data - missing trophies and PSN video rental access are being reported. Hit the jump for the hard-word from Sony......

The public consultation period for the heated R18+ classification debate is over. Thousands of note-worthy submissions have been made, including a 17 page demolition of the South Australian Attorney General, Michael Atkinson, by Paul Hunt - formerly Deputy Director of Australia's Classification Board. It's a shame then, with such intelligent and credible support for the tightening of classifications, that a flurry of mindless press continues to corrupt public opinion with scare-tactics and outrageous hyperbole.....

Perhaps inadvertently, a Gamestop sweepstakes promotion is the first sign of an 'official' Brink release date. Given that the promo is in conjunction with Bethesda - they even updated their blog talking about it - I guess we can safely expect the game on September 7th, 2010......
