Valve Trademark Half-Life 3
Valve have trademarked Half-Life 3, a move that will no doubt excite millions of fans of the series. This has so far only happened in Europe and there's no more information about it available, so it's probably far too early to be saying "Half-Life 3 Confirmed" but, at least of the surface of it, Half-Life 3 seems at least semi-confirmed.

There was one major complain that I had about the PC re-release of Final Fantasy VII, which was rather good otherwise.

Steam Announcements are about Steam, not Game Related
Ever since Steam announced that they'd be announcing three things very shortly, there has been a lot of theorizing. Some of it has been based on actual evidence - Left 4 Dead 3 showing up in a picture from Valve HQ for instance - and some of it has been a little less... scientific - OH MY GOD, THERE ARE THREE ANNOUNCEMENTS, HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED.

Without any history to go along with it, it’s hard to know the exact circumstances of the package being delivered. Outside of…

Finally! GTAV is mere hours away from releasing worldwide. Are you excited? Are you one of the lucky few who got it early? Needless to say, it's my most anticipated game since.. well since GTAIV I suppose. Still though, let's not forget all those other releases this week too.

We all knew it would be only a matter of time before someone used Oculus Rift for something less savoury than becoming a space ship pilot or exploring villages.
