Francis Hates Everything

You know I love Left 4 Dead — I actually got to play it quite a lot, too. One thing that’s great about the game is how the characters interact (automatically), letting small conversations form in some spots that are different every playthrough of a map.
Now if you’ve heard a few of those conversations, you [...]

World of Goo has a Soundtrack

Well, it always had. But now the sountrack to World of Goo (which I reviewed earlier) is actually available online, too.
Get the soundtrack from here.
If all the raving reviews everywhere didn’t win you over, maybe this will And maybe you, just like me, merely appreciate that the independent developer that you already supported [...]

Dead Space: First Impressions

I had heard a lot of positive buzz about Dead Space, the new EA SciFi horror shooter, so my expectations were naturally high. When Steam finally had it (funny enough, I’m one of those odd folks who are up in arms against any form of too rigid DRM except when it’s Steam), and in English [...]

Quake Live Beta

Long story short for all you guys coming from Google: Left 4 Dead demo out 6th for preorders, 8th 11th now for everybody, get it from Steam.
It’s rare that I’m as hyped up for a game as I was for this one. I think the last time this happened was for Age of Conan, and [...]

Good Old Games, Beta now Public

Just a short note … remember that post about Good Old Games that I made recently, when I said something along the lines of “hihi, you can’t get in”?
Well, the beta is public now. And they added some more games. So go ahead and knock yourself out with awesome old school gaming bliss!
Also on Joystiq.

UT3 Expansion in the Works

It seems that Epic recently dropping licenses left and right hasn’t affected the sales of Unreal Tournament 3 (over a million sold-through, apparently) nor its future. In the words of Epic’s Mark Rein (the guy who’s blaming piracy for everything):
Our arrangement with Midway isn’t a license but rather a straight publishing agreement and Midway is [...]
