The community manager at Blizzard Entertainment tweeted via twitter that Diablo III for the consoles was in the works.

The well-known Co-Op mod for Half-Life has recently just had another major update. For those who don’t know, this is a coop mod that allows you to play through the Half-Life 1 campaign as well hundreds of varied custom maps (with their own style and objectives) with your friends. On top of that Sven-Coop adds numerous weapons, game-play enhancements, and engine improvements to spice things up.

On some system configurations, Battlefield 3 exhibits extreme stuttering issues as well as random video artifacts rendering the game unplayable. This problem frequently happens on Geforce GTX 560 TI cards however other video cards can experience it too. There is currently a workaround, until DICE and Nvidia can debug the problem and fix it.

As some of you have known, Bethesda had sued Mojang over use of the “Scrolls” name in their upcoming game.  Betehsda believed that Scrolls would cause confusion with Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.  Notch just tweeted a few hours ago that they had won the interim injunction which means they can still use the “Scrolls” name meanwhile [...]

Yeah, this blog has been dead for a while, I know that.  Not to sound like  broken record but real-life does take away a lot of free time and that unfortunately is one of the main reasons why this blog had died down.  Also, motivations change and other problems arise we couldn’t take care of, [...]

Having a horrible online experience with Tekken 6?  Namco Bandai are promising a patch to improve the online game experience.  I have not personally picked up a copy yet, but for those who have let us know how it is for you?

You know that whole debacle about MW2 not having dedicated servers?  It just got even worse, with Infinity Ward confirming that there is a 18-player cap on the PC version online, which is is the same cap imposed on the console versions.

Two Valve universes collide, when you pre-order Left 4 Dead 2, which nets you a exclusive hat in Team Fortress 2. If that isn’t enough, the 10% off the price might be an incentive.  L4D2 will be available November 17th. In addition, the L4D2 demo is live! In case you’re on the fence of buying [...]

A trailer for the Prince of Persia movie adaptation has been released.  My initial impressions are quite positive.  So far, it looks like they have nailed the setting and feel of the game, as well as having a decent storyline set out.  However, trailers can be quite misleading. It will be interesting to see how [...]

New week, new ASOT.  From what I gathered from Twitter, seemed to be a good episode.  Let us know in the comments. Also, next week is the DJ Mag Poll results!

Armin plays us some new tracks by Arnej, Wippenberg, Sophie Sugar, First State, Ronski Speed and Daniel Kandi. Download and tracklist after the break.

Apple are now attempting to halt jailbreaking for the time being.  Latest 3GS models are now loaded with a new booting firmware update, iBoot-359.3.2 which fixes the popular 24kpwn exploit. Another exploit will have to be found in order to jailbreak future iPhones, but fear not there will always be a way around this.

Starting November 11th, all WoW players will be required to login using Battle.net accounts.   Makes sense as Blizzard is really trying to push the Battle.net 2.0 platform, finally getting rid of redundancy and consolidating everything into one account.

It seems that the leaders of the L4D2 Boycott (Agent Chaos and Walking_Target) have decided that the goal of the group was accomplished and that the group no longer serves a purpose.

Armin is back already? Thought it was two weeks, oh well, here is last week’s ASOT that I forgot to post up, tracklist and download link after the break. 

Yesterday a Chinese site had revealed what was apparently the last two campaigns in Left 4 Dead 2, those were “Hard Rain” and “Dead Center”.  This has now been confirmed by Xbox360Achievements.org who has the juicy details about new and otherwise rumored futures, like a defibrillator to revive teammates.  Check out the rest over at [...]

Marvel is introducing Carnage to the Ultimate Alliance lineup.  Carnage has a striking resemblance to Spider-man’s foe Venom.  He is quick like Spider-Man and deadly like Venom, in other words, badass.

A very monumental episode this week with Armin on vacation and deciding that Andy Moor and John O’Callaghan will take over ASOT for two weeks. 

The PC version of Borderlands will be hitting stores this 26th of October, which is unfortunately a week after the console versions  hit.  This game promises to bring a unique perspective on the first person genre by incorporating MMORPG elements along with an interesting artstyle.

Here we go with another weekly PC sales charts from Steam and Direct2Drive.  Aion is completely owning the charts having been in top positions for several weeks now.  Good to see another MMO other than WoW getting some love.  I have played some Aion and it is definitely a very beautiful game, and very fun [...]

Super Street Fighter IV has been announced today as a stand-alone separate title.  The game will include 8 new characters, improved online play, and balance changes to all the current characters based of feedback from the community. 

Today, Valve released Crash Course, a DLC campaign add on for Left 4 Dead that aims to close the gap between the first and second campaign.  It is available on PC free of charge and $7 for Xbox 360 owners.

A killer episode of ASOT this week, it is pumped with 2 hours of CLASSICS!  The special occasion? The release of “A State Of Trance Classics Volume 4″.  This is an ASOT you don’t want to miss!
