Roll up, roll up for the latest slice of games coverage controversy. In the Podcast naughty corner this week it’s trade publication MCV and an article that rounded-up the reviews of Hitman: Absolution but accidentally forgot to include any of the more critical ones.
Elsewhere in the news, GTA V might be coming to the PC (unless it isn’t), and Blizzard tries to snap up another domain name that may indicate an interest in the name Heroes of Warcraft (unless it doesn’t). We’re on slightly more concrete territory with the news that Chris Roberts’ Star Citizen raised a massive $6.2 million USD in funding, allowing that project to engage all engines and cruise ahead at full speed, and the return of the map ‘Nuketown 2025′ to Black Ops 2 server rotation.
It’s a pretty big week for games releases, as Hitman: Absolution and Far Cry 3 come under discussion. And there’s even time for a retro shout-out for Command & Conquer: Red Alert.
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Star Citizen is hosting a massive free-fly event, offering everyone access to its sci-fi universe as well as almost all its ships and vehicles. The free-to-play promotion lasts for 12 days.
Wait !! What ? No news of STAR Citizen surpassing the Billion dollars funding? This feels like the same as the Malboro guys offering free smokes at a kindergarten garden. I pass and wake me up when this is actually released and has a price for purchase, if reviews scores are 10 or above I might buy... I might.
Even 10 years after release, Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online's player engagement has risen drastically compared to last year.
