Microsoft has reaffirmed that maligned PC service Games for Windows - Live service is here to stay. Can we at least ditch the hyphen? Quizzed by NeoGamr about possible discontinuation (via Rock, Paper, Shotgun), Microsoft responded: "Answer is no." And continued: "Microsoft continues to support the Games for Windows platform, but we are making new investments in Metro style games. To this end, and "for the core PC gamer", Microsoft launched Age of Empires Online and Microsoft Flight. Count yourselves lucky.

Apparently Steam accidentally released it early, so Uber Entertainment decided to just go with it and leave it up. The executive producer had this to say on twitter: https://twitter.com/#!/ekanaut/status/192369061722734593 Only a day early, but still kind of funny. It's free to play http://store.steampowered.com/app/104700/

Welcome and thank you for checking out Rodina, our indie game which is currently under development.

Link to site For those of you that don't know, Two Guys from Andomeda was the duo that created the Space Quest games. They disappeared for quite some time and all of a sudden decided to get back together again and create a new 'Spaceventure'. I don't know if it will be the next Space Quest game, or something entirely new, but either way, I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. Doesn't sound like they are going to jump on board the Kickstarter bandwagon. At least not yet anyways. I realize I may be showing my age by getting excited for all these old games, but who cares, they were what made me the gamer I am today.

For those of you looking to play RPG's the way they used to be, you should check out Echoes of Eternia on Kickstarter. Looks like the old school Final Fantasy games. Linky

Creator of Leisure Suit Larry, Al Lowe is doing an AMA on Reddit right now http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/s8u88/i_am_al_lowe_creator_of_leisure_suit_larry_ama/ If you're unfamiliar with LSL it was one of the greater point and click games out there, very adult themed and hilarious. Or at least it was when I was 9 or 10 years old. They've got a Kickstarter going to remake the original right now, check it! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/leisuresuitlarry/make-leisure-suit-larry-come-again?ref=live

Its finally been confirmed, with new area's and bosses(2 new bosses to be exact), though it also uses GFWL(not a deal breaker but I would just rather it didn't, I don't like having to go through both steam and GFWL just to play Batman Arkham City). I'll probably picked it up again if only for a framerate above 10 in blighttown.

According to a report just published, Bethesda is creating an MMO based on the Elder Scrolls universe. The website Tom's Guide has published an article claiming that an Elder Scrolls MMO is in production, citing an anonymous industry source. The source also told the site that the game would take place a millennium prior to the events of Skyrim, and the author speculates that this would place it in the "Second Era" of Elder Scrolls. This would mean the MMO takes place hundreds of years before any game in the series. The article gives a few more details on the purported MMO, including the plan to have "three playable factions," each represented by an animal -- lion, dragon,…
