14 DAY TRIAL // This week, we reviewed a very interesting game from a new studio, King Arthur – The Role Playing Wargame, which is to be found on Steam, we delivered a fresh EndGameWeek piece and a Weekend Reading rant about DLC and how some publishers push it a bit too hard. But we also got a few stories you need to know about covering the days that have gone by.
On Monday, BioWare went all out for charity by releasing Gift of the Yeti on Facebook, a Dragon Age-based experience that would have money donated to Child's Play. Meanwhile, we found out that the new and yet not well defined Tomb Raider videogame might actually include a multiplayer mode.
On Tuesday, we talked about the official confirmation for Dead Space 2, which would see more Necromorphs dismembered by powerful weapons, while also downloading and installing the 1.06 patch for Modern Warfare 2 that developers say eliminates pretty much all the bugs in the game and allows for a smoother experience.
On Wednesday, Sony talked about the since then released 3.15 firmware update for the PlayStation 3, which permits users to play the PSP Minis titles and allows for data transfer between two consoles. And back in Japan, the ubiquitous Famitsu finally reviewed Final Fantasy XIII, which is set to be released on December 17.
On Thursday, we found out that players who are into World of Warcraft might not get to fight Arthas until April if Blizzard kept up blocking access to some areas of Icecrown, while Electrinic Arts seemed to have confirmed that the new Sony motion tracking wand was called the Germ.
On Friday, we settled down a bit and talked about the NPD Group numbers for November, which saw Modern Warfare 2 break records, and about the new update Valve put out for Team Fortress 2, igniting a rivalry between the Demoman and the Soldier.
