Teaser Image Suggests SEGA will Publish Double Fine's New Title By Jacob Saylor
The picture plastered above this text is what SEGA published not too long ago. The part of the picture that is blacked out, with only a question mark in the middle of it, is - or was - a mystery.
It should come as no surprise that this "jigsaw puzzle" has already been solved. If code regarding the features of Grand Theft Auto V can be found hidden in the depths of Max Payne 3, then this should be cake for even the most green puzzle-solver.
The team over at Sega Bits put together Ron Gilbert's... More »

Blizzard: Diablo III Accounts Were Hacked Through Traditional Means, Attacks Were Orchestrated By Ian Miles Cheong
Blizzard spokesperson Micah "Bashiok" Whipple has been keeping the Diablo III community abreast of the account hacking situation. His latest update on the game's official forums clarifies Blizzard's investigation into the matter.
Whipple says that the compromised accounts that the company investigated were apparently accessed through "traditional means". In other words, they were either phished or acquired through keyloggers, and weren't actually "hacked," unless you count... More »

Red Orchestra 2 GOTY Edition Adds New Modes, Tons of Improvements By Ian Miles Cheong
The newly announced Red Orchestra 2 Game of the Year Edition is set to add two new gameplay modes, a new map, and a host of improvements according to its developer Tripwire.
"One of the things we learned from the fans after the release was that many of them thought the game was too hardcore, not hardcore enough, or just not enough like the original game," said Tripwire's John Gibson. To that end, the developer is adding two new modes—Classic and Action—to cater to all its fans.

Max Payne 3 Glitches: Zombies, GTA Free Roam & More
By Ian Miles Cheong 
Max Payne 3 Glitches
Max Payne 3 has been out for about a week now, and like every other Rockstar Games release, it is kind of buggy—and will be until they patch it up.
I'm sure we can all recall when Red Dead Redemption's John Marston had to use human birds as target practice and ride a donkey woman instead of a horse, or when the detective could run up buildings in L.A. Noire. Similar oddities happen in Max Payne 3.
We've put together a list of ten bizarre... More »
Minecraft Will Soon Get Trading and Currency Systems By Ian Miles Cheong
Jens Bergensten has been teasing new systems (via Twitter) of trading and currency which he has plans to implement into Minecraft at some point in the near future.
The system will allow players to trade with each other, and with NPC villagers, making the game more of an RPG than ever. Once the system is in place, players will be able to barter items and trade coins for equipment. The implementation will also provide villagers with a purpose besides milling around aimlessly.

GTA 5 Release Could be Narrowed Down Tomorrow By Ian Miles Cheong
Those of us who are paying close attention to Rockstar Games, Take Two, and the development of Grand Theft Auto V have good reason to keep our eyes and ears tuned to Take Two's conference call tomorrow.
The next fiscal year is about to begin, and with it, Take Two will announce its stock price forecasts for fiscal 2013, which has already begun. It ends in March 2013.
The fact of the matter is that if Take Two's CEO Strauss Zelnick forecasts a $2 (or greater) share price, then there's a good... More »
A Payne to End All Pains: Max Payne 3 Verdict — The Hype
By Seb Wuepper 
In the early days of the 21st Century, people were in love with bullet time. That camera technique, popularized by The Matrix movies, turned into a mainstay of early 00s action movies. It wasn’t quite as hard to kill as the grainy look the action genre inherited from Black Hawk Down or other such fads that still endure today, but it proved to be a distinctive feature of a number of films none the less. Finnish made hyper-violent manshooter Max Payne was one of the first games picking up on this stylistic device, making it... More »
