Well for the last two nights i’ve stayed up and watched spike for hours, both nights expecting to see info on Valves newest game, Portal 2 and updates and info on Valves Left 4 Dead series. I missed it., watching for nearly 5 hours tonight it never came on for me, but thats ok!
Valve, the developers of Left 4 Dead 2, have announced some interesting things in store for their popular title Left 4 Dead 2 on the official Left 4 Dead blog. Among them is community campaigns, which means that Valve will be running selected campaigns on 120 of their official servers. (more…)
Well, if you were one of the many players taken by surprise with Torchlight’s success, or even if you never tried out the game. Be ready for Torchlight II to likely do the same next year.
EDIT: Xfire has been acquired by Titan Gaming, who are taking on the Xfire name. Here is the announcement: “Titan Gaming has purchased Xfire. The terms of the purchase are undisclosed. Titan will be taking on the Xfire name. The Xfire services will continue uninterrupted for its users. Xfire redefined how gamers communicate, Titan intends to build upon this tradition and utilize the Xfire platform to help gaming companies better engage and monetize their games.”
ORIGINAL POST:
The popular in-game instant messenger known as Xfire has been sold today to an undisclosed company. It was previously owned by Viacom Inc., the conglomerate in charge of MTV Networks, Gametrailers, and Paramount. Viacom acquired Xfire in 2006 for over $100 million. While it is currently not known who Xfire’s buyers are, we all wait in anticipation to find out who they are and what their plans for the service are. We hope that they will be good corporate overlords for a service that PC gamers around the world have come to know and love. (more…)

We’re here with another community feature from Gamer9er on Torchlight enjoy!
Torchlight is a well-known RPG for all you steam users out there. On day 7 of Perils of Summer, I picked up torchlight off the shelves. Now I’m not really an RPG kinda guy, I’ve loved first person shooters my whole life. This was a whole new experience for me. So I’m going to do a quick and easy review on Torchlight.
Yes you heard me right, the anticipated sequel to Valve’s Portal on now confirmed to be released for Mac OSX by GameInformer! Mac gamers rejoice as we finally get out piece of the cake!
EDIT: Also confirmed by Hardcore is that Steam OSX will be released sometime in May. Even better news for mac gamers.
At this point there’s no denying that Valve may soon have Steam available to Mac Users. The first piece of evidence was when its PC users discovered files and icons referring to an OSX version in the Beta UI update. Valve never had a comment of denying this. A few days later, look what we have here…
