Steam Deal:

Capcom is offering half off of either of the last two games in the series over on Steam. Both Resident Evil 5 and the non-canon spinoff Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City are available for half price, making the first one $9.99, and the second $24.99 for the base game, or $38.94 with all of the DLC included.

So I was messing with the 3DS checking out the eshop and saw that game fractured soul, looks super awesome.

Leo, looks like IGN has gone back to the hundred point scale, even though their official page says they left that system in the dust;

For more than a decade, IGN reviewed games on a 100-point scale. Meaning we gave games from a 0.1-10.0 and every digit in between. In the early days of game journalism, the emphasis was on overanalyzing games, perhaps to try and assure people of its validity as an art form.

Over the years, it's become more and more clear that most folks don't need criticism on such a microscopic level and that debating the merits of Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect 2 is valid regardless if one received a .1 higher score.

Our goal has always been to help you make a good purchase decision and, frankly, you don't need scores broken down to such a minute level to get the point across. And we would rather that debates on which game is better (including in our own office) weren't determined by a tenth-of-a-point. If two amazing games get a 9.5, you'll know each is worth buying and the decision on which is better occurs beyond the review. Basically, we don't want reviews to end the discussion, but perhaps encourage more of them. - link

So I guess they have gone back to their old system. I tried to find when they made their changes, but I find their site impossible to navigate.

It is. Mighty Switch Force meets Contra meets Outland. Got it, played it a little bit. Loved what I've seen so far!

Huh... Steve Wozniak is moving to Australia and becoming a citizen. Congrats Australians. You have one of our museum exhibits on permanent display. Apparently he wants to live there because of the proposed highspeed internet for everyone in 2018 or whenever that's going to happen. Enjoy.

The highspeed internet that can't currently be enjoyed in America?

Congrats Edge on getting your PC to work, should be awesome. Enjoy!

Its finally all set in every way, now I can just enjoy it. Its a fucking BEAST dude, I love it!

Its almost like having a console and getting a badass new TV to play it on, you know when you wanna go back and play all your old favorites JUST to see what they look like? Well that's what I want to do on my new PC.

Obviously I gotta continue with Batman, but I am dying to load up Crysis 2 and install the Super HiRes physx pak for it. It will be ridiculous.

Once again...a move in the game world that completely baffles me. Mass Effect Trilogy on Xbox and PC, where you can already get the trilogy. The two consoles that don't have the entire series, come later or not at all?

Amalur only sold 20K in it's launch week in Japan. Slow week over there for so many new games.  When FF3 on PSP is the best selling game I guess that's all you need to know about last week.
