Celebration time; Minecraft turned 3 years old today

It’s been three years since the first public unveiling of Minecraft, a game that was described back then as a very early test of an Infiniminer clone in which Notch has been working on, and was meant to have more resource management and material elements. Ironically, Notch said back then that Minecraft would have those features if he ever got around finishing it. Fast forward three years and Minecraft is the most successful indie game, Notch is a millionaire and Mojang is a reality. Just wow.

Street Fighter x Tekken PC suffers from the same, initial issues and bugs of the console versions

That’s hilarious. PC gamers have been waiting patiently for the PC version of SFxT and now that they have it, they can’t even enjoy it as Street Fighter x Tekken PC suffers from the same issues that were present in the console versions at their time of release. And although those issues have been fixed on the console versions, Capcom has not applied those fixes on the PC version that was delayed. This basically means that PC gamers will have to wait even more, especially if they want to enjoy the online mode of SFxT.

A couple of days ago, we informed you about the successful launch of Warface’s beta in Russia.

In addition, Neogaf’s member ‘subversus’ shared some screenshots that can be viewed below. Enjoy! Continue reading Warface – Screenshots and Videos from the Russian Closed Beta

Back in April, we informed you about the PC release date and features of Ghost Recon: Future Soldier.
