Gran Turismo 5 is out tomorrow. Yes, seriously. Pinch yourself. Although, you should be warned that once you have the game, there's a 133mb patch to download, and then an hour long install thereafter. Thankfully functionality has been built in so you can play while it installs, but that patch you're just going to have to sit there and wait for. Inconveniences aside, let's move onto the topic of this article and have a look at where you should be buying this console generation's most anticipated racer....

The news has finally arrived: Call of Duty: Black Ops will indeed be available on Steam, with full Steamworks integration - as per Modern Warfare 2. This means auto-updating, achievements and cloud support. Unfortunately for us Australians, who's dollar is now as strong as the US, we're being charged an additional $30 for the game - $90 as opposed to $60....

A little over 30 hours since Australian release, the internet is exploding with StarCraft II, as are the Battle.net servers.

Viva La Revolution! How do we say that in Aussie? GAME and Gametraders recently spoke to GameSpot AU about their new and public support for a ratings system revamp, which EB Games have been promoting as of late. They're doing so with eyes wide open, fully expecting and being able to adhere to strict requirements for the sale of R18+ games. This would likely include a dedicated area for these titles, off-limits to minors, and have the games stored in blank cases....
