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 [...]

Today we’re pleased to introduce the Pet Store for World of Warcraft, a new way for players to obtain in-game pets to join them on their adventures in Azeroth… So apparently on Wednesday of this week, WoW opened up their new online Pet Store for official business.  Players can now buy in-game pets online through [...]

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 [...]

Want to get Borderlands a little early and stay up a little late? …Basically, you now have only one excuse for not getting Borderlands tonight if you’re into the game and you’re in the US, and that is not wanting to go to GameStop and stand in line at midnight. Which is actually pretty reasonable.

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.

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.

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 [...]

So lately I’ve been pretty busy – this week especially since I’ve been sick, tests are coming up, and I’ve gotten a healthy dose of X-Box live gaming.  One of my housemates has moved his X-box 360 downstairs to the living room, where we have a 52” HDTV setup. 

News has come forth that Left 4 Dead 2 has been refused classification in Australia.  While it isn’t necessarily banned, it has the same effect. Below are the reasons highlighted in the official report.

Remember the full refund promised by a Wolfenstein developer if the game sold more than Madden? Well you can forget about that, NPD Group has released sales for Wolfenstein and revealed the game sold poorly.

So apparently yesterday in Japan, there was some ad on YouTube saying that the release date would actually be announced today.  Some people were able to figure out how to manipulate the ad to actually display the date, and thus presented it yesterday leaked as December 17, 2009. 

As you may or may not have heard, people have developed programs that would simulate you being in a server ‘idling’.  You would just leave it on overnight, then in the morning, wake up to loads of goodies in your inventory.

Red Faction: Guerrilla due for PC on September 15th will have the ‘Demons of the Badlands’ DLC included, console pre-order bonus and a total of 8 new maps (2 exclusive to PC) from the forthcoming DLC.

Check out the new trailer for Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.  At the end, there is a reveal of the new host migration support where if the host drops out, the game will seamlessly reconnect everyone to a different host.  Shortly after, the player executes a throwing knife kill. Sweet! httpvhd://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4PMRFkx07g
