StarCraft II player gm0ney did things a bit differently.

CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed via conference call yesterday with investors that the new Star Wars: Battlefront title being worked on by DICE is going "very, very well" although admitting that much work remains to be done on the title.

EA's conference is slated to be on June 9th but the title may be shown during an earlier E3 event. The last time Battlefront has graced the hands of Star Wars lovers has been in 2004 and 2005 and was developed by Pandemic.

There is one hyphenated word that truly arouses mixed reactions from gamers around the world.Cross-Platform. Can't we all just play along? Unless you’ve been living under a rock this past decade, you’d recognize the term and possibly have even experienced some early attempts at cross-platform titles like Shadowrun for the PC/Xbox 360. Even Valve’s upcoming release of Portal 2 promises to connect users of the Playstation Network up against PC players gaming on Steam. Cross-platform titles are essentially games that you can play online one system against users on a completely different console. What is the limit of gaming interconnectivity? We’ve seen what can happe…

All this week Sega has been teasing about “big news” coming to Sonic the Hedgehog’s Facebook page. Fans of Sega’s favorite blue chili dog eating hero start tapping your feet, because Sonic is back in a new game coming to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 later this year. The colorful 3D teaser trailer which you can view checking out Sonic’s very own Facebook page, shows Sonic speeding along, leaping from platform to platform only to make one big jump and another blue Sonic appears beside him.

I was looking around the blizzard forums the other day and came across this thread in one of the more recent topics created. While as of now WoW is the only game that I know of that this is effected by I thought it could be interesting to see what everyone else thought of it and how they would react to it if this were done to one of your games. To sum up the thread and what has been happening in patch 4.3, Blizzard has recently created a new feature called Looking For Raid or LFR.

In the landmark decision US Supreme Court strikes down Defense of Marriage Act defining federally recognized marriage as a union of one man and one woman.
