The guys over at Valve are hard at work on Half Life Episode 3 and they will finish it when they darn well please. In an interview with Eurogamer.com spokesperson Doug Lombardi dropped a bit of Portal news also.
“There’ll be more Portal, for sure. But the details of that, to be honest, we’re still working out,” he said.
“The only smart thing we did for Portal was to hire those seven kids and give them the support they needed to make the game.”
He also says it will be more then just “a bunch of new puzzles”.
Sweet! Not only new Portal stuff but it looks like they will be giving us some quality new stuff. There really isn’t any release date news here or even a ballpark date but still it looks like the critical darling that was Portal is being given some real tlc and the next one should be great as well.
Always interested in giving people a deal Valve is planning on continuing giving DLC for free for their games.

Digg the song. Or is it Digg this song? Whatever it is it’s not bad. Performed by Kina Grannis. This isn’t the first song she’s done. Just the most internet related. Check out some of Kina’s other songs on her YouTube page here.
So, the story doesn’t end here. She’s looking to make it to the Super Bowl. In a contest from Doritos. You play it. We air it.
It’s only 3 days until the voting ends (December 31st)! We are down to the top 10 bands. The winner will have their music video played during the super bowl AND a record deal with Interscope Records. So who should you vote for? Well, duh. The half Japanese(?) hot chick! Am I right? Kina Grannis is her name, being hot is her game. Really, she’s actually pretty talented. A guitar player and singer and did I say she was cute? She grew up in Mission Viejo, CA and recently moved to Austin, TX. Which by the way is only the best city EVER? So go already and check her out. Vote for her at www.crashthesuperbowl.com.
Crysis players have been waiting for a much needed patch that would fix a few bugs, improved SLI support and we can only hope for quad core support. Well the patch won’t be hitting until next year sometime and there won’t be any quad core support. Check out what Crytek had to say on their forum about the upcoming patch.
At the new, lower price of $99 the MS wireless racing wheel is still a bit expensive for the average gamer. However, if you’re a racing game fan, with a decent size wallet, the wheel really is a solid purchase. As of right now the Xbox 360 is one of the best platforms for racing games. We’ve got some great games like: Dirt (must own), Sega Rally Revo (rental), Forza Motor Sport 2 (best simulation), Project Gotham Racing 4 (best arcade/sim), and the upcoming Burnout Paradise (best speed/crashing).

That’s right, Nintendo is losing billions of dollars a month on all the Wii’s they’re not making and selling. On another note, Sony is still losing billions on all the PS3’s they are making and not selling.So, is it a conspiracy or not? Are the guys over at the big N holding back on purpose? According to Reggie Fils-Aime, the company is not holding back. Why would they? I have to admit, I was a skeptic. I thought they might’ve been holding back. They have been in the video game hardware/software business for over 25 years now and you’d think they, more than any of their competitors, would be able to keep up with demand. Guess not.

On another note, Nintendo will be teaming up with GameStop to help people deal with the Wii shortage. They’ll be offering customers rain checks. According to Yahoo!, the rain checks will be available at the regular Wii system price, $249.99, on Dec. 20 and 21, and will entitle buyers to get the Nintendo console before Jan. 29. Fils-Aime said “many tens of thousands of rain checks” would be available.

First things first Cheapassgamer.com is a great site. The multitudes of gaming deals it brings us everyday are amazing. David Abrams aka CheapyD or your man in Japan, has turned a simple forum for those of us who hate paying full price into a community of like minded gamers who hate paying full price. Along with his partner in crime Wombat they offer a great podcast called the CAGcast. Cheapy’s insight into video games is pretty dead on and sometimes he is even funny.
CheapyD can’t use is online fame just for selfish purposes though. Even though he was recently featured on G4TV’s Attack of the Show in the Global LOOP, he has not forgotten the kids. Once again CAG has set up a fund so that visitors to CAG can donate to the Child’s Play Charity that Penny Arcade set up. As of this post they have collected over 13,000 dollars overtaking the mere 10,000 dollars they donated last year. For every $5 you donate you get a raffle ticket from CAG for some great prizes from CAG. They are running this through DEC. 31 although CheapyD hinted at making it go longer.
Good on ya CAG way to do something good.
What is Fury? And why is it Free? Here’s a quote from the developers website, “Combat with the exciting pace of an FPS game, and the strategic depth and character development of an RPG.”
It’s another free MMORPG. But this one is different from a lot of the others lately. It wasn’t meant to be free. It seems the developer Auran has run into a bit of a money problem. They’ve had to cut jobs and outsource their support services to China. Oh, and bonus, now you can play Fury for free.
Here’s some of the links. UnleashTheFury.com (official site), Free 2 Play (info about free Fury), and finally the link to download the game (the Fury forums).
Boom!
