News :: General News : Monday Screens! (26/07/2010) - now 67% pure organic guff |
We're back on form this week as PR dudes and dudettes everywhere remember what screenshots are for. They're for sending to us, so we can look at them, and get excited. Major Releases has a whole legion at his beck and call this fine Monday, while poor old Additional Content Required and Doubleyou Tee Eff languish almost unattended. Downloadable Delights remains strong, while the Treasure Chest is overflowing with PC gems.
And then, of course, there's The Guff. There's always The Guff.

News :: General News : Friday Roundup! (7/08/2009) |
While it is Friday, it certainly doesn't feel like it is the end of the week here, with my personal weekend likely to be full of catching up on University work and burying my head in research.
For those of you who don't have such commitments, you can point your fingers and laugh at me for choosing to begin a Masters degree, or you can explore a collection of demos and full clients that have been added to the file library in the past week.
This week, we have for you demos from All Aspect Warfare, Angel of Attack, East India Company, Hearts of Iron III, Jutland, Nation Red, Order of War, Restaurant Empire 2
... and we have for you full games from Gates of Andaron, Mortal Online, Orbiter, World of Kung Fu.
Enjoy!

News :: General News : Steam downtime scheduled on the 7th of August |
It is often thought that the Steam servers run in a constant state of flux, never needing anything changed, fixed, or altered. While that may seem to be the case, Valve have announced that on the 7th of August (locally, at least) the Steam servers will be put into surgery briefly, because they need some "software maintenance".
The downtime is expected to last three hours, and will begin on the 7th of August at around 10:30AM Adelaide time. The servers "should be" fully operational again at around 1:30PM - with Valve aiming to make everyone's life as easy as possible.
