Steam’s EA Week

In case you haven’t seen this on ATK or somewhere else, Valve have named the images used in this week’s EA Sale (do I need to explain?), allowing you to see what offers are coming up and plan accordingly. Here is the rundown for the week…

Monday: Crysis Day
You’re too late for this one, it wasn’t a great deal £10 each for Crysis and Warhead.

Tuesday: Military Day
Bad Company 2 for £20 is well worth it if you haven’t got it already. Pre-order Medal Of Honor and get access to the beta. If you already have BC2, then you get to play on the 17th (4 days earlier).

Wednesday: C&C Day
C&C4 is meant to be a poor end to the series, though some previous games may be on offer if you’re interested. Red Alert 3 isn’t a bad game.

Thursday: Racing Day
Need For Speed Shift and Burnout Paradise are both great games. NFS:S is the first game to take the series in a realistic, track racing direction. If you like racing games, these could be well worth £10.

Friday: Mirror's Edge, Dead Space, Spore
Mirror’s Edge is a great freestyle running game, shame the combat is so awful and unnecessary. Dead Space is a must if you like your scary games. I expect both of these to be less than £5.

Saturday: Mass Effect Day
Mass Effect will most probably be less than £5, while the sequel will be 50% off at £15. Both well worth picking up. Play the first one before the sequel if you can.

Sunday: Dragon Age Day
The pick of the crop, Dragon Age is the best RPG in decades. If you don’t have this, pick it up for most likely £15. Awakenings, the expansion to Dragon Age, is also worth picking up for £10, it provides an additional 15 excellent hours of gameplay.

Electronic Entertainment Expo: Dead Space 2

Yes, it’s been a long time since my last post. University work and yada yada excuses, but hopefully I’m back and I’ll be posting regular blog entries on the world of gaming and technology! What a week to start blogging again though (this wasn’t my reason, honest), with E3 getting into full swing and lots of hot new gaming news being delivered by the biggest names in the industry, including EA, Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft.

The first game that’s got me really excited is Dead Space 2, which was announced a good few months ago on consoles, but only recently has it been confirmed on PC, after months of uncertainty. During EA’s Press Conference, new gameplay footage was shown which includes Isaac shooting limbs off mutated babies in a setting that rather reminds me of Bioshock, which can only be a good thing. Possibly Isaac has got himself trapped inside a galactic leisure cruiser this time. See the video below.

There was also a shorter more action packed gameplay section in Son’y Press Conference, which I managed to record and upload to YouTube, which you can see below provided it doesn’t get removed (I got an email from YouTube about the content being licensed to E3 broadcasters *gulp*). This footage seems to open with the last scene of the above video, and features more bright flashy lights, more long limbed Necromorphs with handily placed pussy joints to shoot, and more glass smashing and sucking Isaac into oblivion.

Note: You might also have noticed that the site design has changed, well I’ll be playing around with that over the next few days so expect things to change randomly.
