he security of your information is critically important to us, so we’re really sorry to share that a portion of our North American account information was recently compromised. What we know: usernames, email addresses, salted password hashes, and some first and last names were accessed. This means that the password files are unreadable, but players with easily guessable passwords are vulnerable to account theft. Additionally, we are investigating that approximately 120,000 transaction records from 2011 that contained hashed and salted credit card numbers have been accessed. The payment system involved with these records hasn't been used since July of 2011, and this ty…

http://www.techspot.com/news/39727-npd-48-of-pc-games-sold-in-2009-were-downloads.html The NPD is FINALLY tracking digital downloads. Showing that 48% of games sold in 2009 on the PC were digital downloads. I bring this up because they historically haven't tracked digital sales. That's 23.5million hard copies and 21.3million digital ones. Easy to spew PC gaming is dieing when you don't count half of the damn sales! Glad to see they're finally catching up with the times.

We are very proud to present the debut trailer for Reset. Everything you see in the trailer is straight from the in-game engine, no up-ressed textures, geometry or effects. What you see is what you will get. Except hopefully a little bit better since we’re not even in alpha yet. This is however a big milestone for us, and we are going to be concentrating more on the gameplay side of things next. Ladies and gentlemen, Theory Interactive presents, Reset Debut trailer. http://reset-game.net/

Graphics card maker nVidia has issued an apology to GeForce GPU users who have encountered "major performance and stability issues" with Tomb Raider in maximum settings. Tomb Raider (2013) Screenshot nVidia's Andrew Burnes placed the blame on Crystal Dynamics failing to provide a final build of the game with enough lead time ahead of its release, which introduced new issues that were not present in previously-provided builds. "We are aware of major performance and stability issues with GeForce GPUs running Tomb Raider with maximum settings," said Burnes.

Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy and girl leading parallel lives. The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster--but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world. Adventures ensue. Broken Age development began when we asked our community if they would help us create a classic-style adventure game without needing to rely on traditional publishers. It turns out they did. And ever since day one, 2 Player Productions has been recording the whole process…

http://www.cityofheroes.com/en.html Ever wanted to be a super hero (or a super villain) growing up as a kid?
