Evil Avatar is linking to a somewhat low-res version of the Unreal Engine 3 tech demo (hosted by gamingbolt) as shown at GDC. Beware the Brumak!

Thanks to daloonie in our forums for pointing this one out. Not much to say about this one other than this is an incredible work of art created with amazingly noisy tools. The description accompanying the video:

Thejeisonsan creates an awesomely accurate wood sculpture of a Bioshock 2 Big Daddy.

The rumour is true as 2K Community Manager, 2K Elizabeth confirms: the recently released $5 cosmetic Downloadable Content for BioShock 2 is already on the game disc. Ponying up the cash simply unlocks the extras. (thanks Evil Avatar)

I noticed there was a bit of confusion about our Sinclair Solutions Tester Pack file size, and I […]

Gamespot is among the first to review Borderlands’ SAMOGK (sorry… not spelling it out!) DLC, scoring it a 9/10. The previous two - Zombie Island and Moxxi - scoring an 8 and a 6, respectively, by comparison.
Did I mention they did away with install limits?

It’s refreshing to see a developer take notice of feedback and Gearbox apparently listened to the masses groaning about install limits on its previous two Borderlands downloadable additions, Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot and The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. Yep, that’s right, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx was released on the PC today and […]
