New Left 4 Dead Patch This Week
Posted @ 6:03 PM, January 12 2009, By: DigiQ8 In Left 4 Dead
Valve's Chet Faliszek confirmed in an email to a fan, that Left 4 Dead should be patched this week. This patch should fix many glitches and bugs in the game and it may add Death Toll and Dead Air in Versus mode.
Sadly Microsoft has nothing to do with the pc patch... that delay is all us. The PC and 360 will be patched independently not sure where people picked up that exploit/bug fixing was tied together. Only the DLC will be simultaneous. The problem on the PC side was a few large bugs affected other systems that we were going to rewrite on the pc so we ended up waiting to fix a whole class of bugs instead of just individual bugs. The patch should be out this week.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, the latest installment in this extremely popular real-time strategy game Command & Conquer is now available on Steam with a $49.99 price tag.
The desperate leadership of a doomed Soviet Union travels back in time to change history and restore the glory of Mother Russia. The time travel mission goes awry, creating an alternate timeline where technology has followed an entirely different evolution, a new superpower has been thrust on to the world stage, and World War III is raging. The Empire of the Rising Sun has risen in the East, making World War III a three-way struggle between the Soviets, the Allies, and the Empire with armies fielding wacky and wonderful weapons and technologies like Tesla coils, heavily armed War Blimps, teleportation, intelligent dolphins, floating island fortresses, and transforming tanks.

Half-life 2: Wars mod Update
Posted @ 9:38 AM, January 7 2009, By: Hectic Glenn In Mods
The HL2: Wars mod team have been working hard over the past months with huge improvements on their 0.5 Beta release of the mod back in July. If you've not played HL2: Wars before, it's the Half-life 2 universe implemented into a RTS game. This mod has achieved this convincingly already, but are looking to improve the gameplay significantly.
The game is in the process of being fully redesigned to replace the lackluster gameplay. Much has also been done to the game to improve latency issues, navigation, and AI, including a brand new NPC system that runs much more smoothly online and allows full control over how all of the units behave. HL2: Wars also now features a traditional RTS game lobby and team colours. You can see an example of the lobby and team colours below. Keep up to date with the mod on the Half-life 2: Wars website or check out their moddb page for more media and to vote HL2: Wars your Mod of the Year 2008
