It’s that time of the year again, everybody. Take out your wallets and spend, spend, spend. The Steam Summer sale is now live, and although you’ll no doubt have problems getting onto the service for ten or fifteen minutes after 6, it’ll be more than worth the wait. There’s already been some odd problems all day, with images not loading and games disappearing entirely, so expect a bumpy ride with a fulfilling reward at the end. As always, it’s important…

Watch Dogs is a game that you'll want to have connected at all times, Ubisoft has revealed. Multiplayer will be so subtle that you probably won't even know you're in a multiplayer situation until the player entering your game actually chooses to attack, and there's no limit on the time they might follow you around, looking for the perfect opportunity.

There's an awful lot of evidence pointing to tomorrow being the beginning of the famous Summer Steam sale. Some of it has been going around for weeks, with database updates and current sales ending abruptly pointing to the fact that something is going on, and it's happening tomorrow.

There will be some new single player Aliens DLC. Stasis Interrupted will be the final piece of DLC linked to the Colonial Marines season pass and the first piece of single player DLC made available. The four or five people who have been waiting patiently for some single player Aliens DLC (or any Aliens DLC for that matter) since launch probably won't be able to buy it, as they're not allowed access to money lest they spend it on silly things like Aliens: Colonial Marines DLC.

Apogee Software have discovered the Blake Stone source code and are releasing it to fans. Blake Stone: Planet Strike was a 1994 FPS from around the same time as Doom. Nearly twenty years after its release, the source code (which was presumed missing) will allow fans to look into how Blake Stone was built.

A pretty good week for new releases this week with something for everyone on almost all platforms. As always this is not an exhaustive list and release dates may change at short notice.

It's the final day of the GoG sale, so pull out your while and rebuy some of those Good Old Games. Great GoG deals include Fez at 50% off.

Final Fantasy VII has finally made its way to Steam. For those that want to add one of the greatest RPGs of all time to their library, now's the chance.

The Mortal Kombat Komplete Edition for PC was one of the worst kept gaming secrets of this year. Now, however, it’s out and it’s available to buy from Steam. Available for £24.99, the Komplete Edition includes everything that was released for the game – all the extra kostumes and kharacters are available right from the base game. There’s also leaderboards and achievements available from the official Mortal Kombat website, so get in quick if you want to pretend you’re awesome…

Those of you that saw the movie Indie Game: The Movie which follows the development stages of Fez and Super Meat Boy would be forgiven for thinking very little money actually went into making Fez. A PC, desk, chair, some pizza and some software shouldn't run up too high of a bill right? Of course there are more to take into consideration naturally but if a Tweet by the outspoken developer Phil Fish is to believed, the end cost for bringing Fez to life is over half a million.
