As Andrew pointed out there's a distinct theme in box art and game's primary colors these days - just look. Coincidentally all three of those titles will be on the staff's gaming queue this weekend in Outland, Mortal Kombat and Portal 2. And as diverse as that lineup is in terms of gaming genres, the staff is just as diverse - I mean one of us is doing something called "a royal wedding."
It should come as no surprise to, well, anyone that Valve Software would want to cash-in on their amazing Portal 2. The game came out a week and a half ago, and already DLC #1 has been announced. What is surprising is that apparently the good people at Valve don't know how to properly 'cash-in' on a product. They'll be giving away this DLC for free across all platforms.

Whether it's a disc-based compilation, an Xbox Live or Playstation Network release, a Virtual Console download, or even a PC version, their best co-op classics are easy to obtain.

The story will be more than just a mere suggestion as to why you're killing everything between points A and B.
Nick must have been using his amazing powers of deduction when he surmised that the final trailer for The First Templar would focus on Marie. The latest, and most likely final, trailer does indeed showcase Marie's talents. She appears to be more lithe and acrobatic than her Templar counterparts, Roland and Celian.

Bad news today folks - F.E.A.R. 3 is getting another delay, though this time its shorter than the last. Originally slated for a March release, then May, the game will now be released in North America on June 21st with the rest of the world seeing it shortly after.

The Sony PlayStation Network disaster had made into the mainstream news cycle.
