CCP Games have unveiled that the 17th free expansion for its award-winning game EVE Online, called Inferno, will be launched on May 22nd. More than any other expansion in EVE’s history, Inferno aims to shake up all levels of warfare in the over 7,500 solar systems in EVE’s massive universe. Overhauls of major war-related game systems will affect player-driven conflict and the first set of many new ship modules to come promise to alter tactics at the most visceral levels.

The latest UK PC Retail and Steam Digital charts have been revealed and as we can see, Football Manager 2012 and Portal 2 are at the top places. The UK PC Retail chart is almost the same with the one of last week, so there isn’t really anything to say. TERA has lost one place, while The Sims 3 gained one and that’s it. Everything else remains the same. Continue reading Weekly Top 10 PC Charts; UK PC Retail and Steam Digital Charts [May 6th – 12th]→
And another one bites the dust. Crystal Dynamics have unveiled – a couple of hours ago – the the highly anticipated reboot of Tomb Raider will be pushed back to 2013.

The second was to make this the best game of thei careers, something they would be really proud to be a part of. Continue reading Tomb Raider delayed to 2013→
We’ve heard a lot of you criticizing CryEngine 3 and believing that CryEngine 2 is better when it comes to its technical features and raw power. We’ve explained how CryEngine 3 is more advanced and that Crysis 2 did not showcase the full potential of Crytek’s next-generation engine. Naturally, some need proof instead of mere words. So look and behold some brand new screenshots from the upcoming CryEngine 3 project, Titanic: Lost in the Darkness. The following, impressive shots show off pure, in-game visuals. Apart from the plants (as we’ve seen better, damn you CryEngine 3 modding community), everything looks spectacular. Especially the lighting and shadows. They almost feel like real photos. Enjoy and keep in mind that CryEngine 3 has tremendous potential. Continue reading New Titanic: Lost in the Darkness screenshots will leave you speechless; CryEngine 3 at its best→

Now this is interesting. Although NCSoft has not announced any release date for their upcoming MMORPG, Guild Wars 2, GameStop has it listed with a June 26th release date. As you can see here, the Collector’s Edition will cost around 150 bucks and is slated for a June 26th release. We’ve also captured a screengrab from this listing – in case GameStop decides to change the product’s page – that can be viewed below. Could this mean that Guild Wars 2 will hit stores in late June? We’ve contacted NCSoft and are awaiting for an official response to this, so stay tuned. Continue reading GameStop Lists June 26th Release Date for Guild Wars 2→
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.

Great news for all X-Com fans as Xenonauts, the spiritual successor to X-Com, has hit its initial Kickstarter goal in just three days and will be funded. Truth be told, that goal was relatively low ($50K USD) and there are still 28 days left. Since the Kickstarter hit its goal, Goldhawk Interactive will also be putting female soldiers into the game, and providing a Mac and Linux version of the game too. Awesome, right? Continue reading Xenonauts, the spiritual successor to X-Com, got funded in just three days→
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. Continue reading Street Fighter x Tekken PC suffers from the same, initial issues and bugs of the console versions→
