Steam coming to Mac!
We first reported on these rumours here, so it’s worth getting some context on this story.

Greed Corp review
W!Games represents a new lease of life in Dutch software development. The largest piece of entertainment produced in the country was Guerilla’s €43million monolith, Killzone 2. Perhaps with smaller ambitions, W!Games releases it’s second title, a rather more interesting affair then it’s first release; My Horse & Me.
Set in a rich environment and world which [...]

Ireland set to win World Cup
In an incredible move that no one expected, EA have decided to release another full-priced remake of their hit classic, FIFA 1998. Except this time using the tweaked engine from the 2010 iteration and with HD graphics (though FIFA 2010 is hardly proper HD looking at the state of the renders). This time, instead of [...]
SEGA to launch new console…not quite “Next Gen” though, think Wii/MegaDrive
So today there are 3 players in the current console wars, but back in the 90’s it was SEGA and Nintendo who were slugging it out to be number 1.
Unlike today it was a very rare thing for someone to have both consoles so you truly had to pick your side. I was with SEGA [...]

Rocksteady, not content with blasting out an instant classic this year, have decided to continue their endeavour to ruin the lives of all 3rd-person superhero platformy type game developers, and announce the second coming iteration of their Batman franchise.
Video below, revealing very little other then the tagline that “Arkham has [...]
Console wars part 2 – the consoles
In part one of our Christmas present rundown of the three big consoles, we looked at the hardware. Controllers, specifically. Well, this time we move on to the main bit, the computational powerhouses locked up in shiny and matte cases. We’ll also introduce the portables as a means of testing the cheaper option. So let’s [...]
