Star Wars Galaxies: Shutting Down on Dec. 15th

The upcoming shutdown, taking place on December 15, 2011, will put an end to both the MMO and Trading Card Game, which was an aspect of the game released as a part of an update in 2008. The official site describes it as a "very difficult decision, but SOE and LucasArts have mutually agreed that the end of 2011 is the appropriate time to end the game.""We are extremely grateful to all of the SWG fans. We have had the rare opportunity to host one of the most dedicated and passionate online gaming communities and we truly appreciate the support we've received from each and every one of you over the course of the past eight years."

TEAM FORTRESS 2, FREE TO PLAY?

So there's been some speculation on Valve making a FTP game these days, specially with the support they're giving to some FTP games.But some user at NeoGAF just posted this, leaving people in awe:http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=28696648&postcount=18291For people who can't see it, it basically shows Valve's Registry "TestApp" with values such as: "TestApp440" Which is Team Fortress 2. And it has in "Payment method" "No cost".Is Valve doing a good move on a game that is already (and has been selling) really well for a lot of time? Time will tell....

RUMOR: Mass Effect 3 may actually have Multiplayer. Fans weep tears of blood.

Picture taken from Gamebrood.comA friend of mine just linked me to this. It overrides the last thing Casey Hudson told us before about ME3 having no Multiplayer. To be honest, I don't want Mass Effect 3 with multiplayer. it serves no purpose on a Single Player, Story-driven game. No purpose at all. Then again...it might prove itself as a good thing. Or not. Quoting from GalaxyNextDoor.com:Ray Muzyka has officially changed BioWare’s stance on Mass Effect 3 having multiplayer to “we’re not saying, but stay tuned.”For months we’ve heard rumors that Mass Effect 3 was going to get the multiplayer treatment and it looks like it really is happening....

EA Pulls Crysis 2 off Steam and gives it "Exclusive on Origin" - Start of new war?

At this year's E3, EA announced its seriousness with the new digital distribution service Origin, aiming to rival Steam - another digital distribution service operated by Valve, currently holding a huge market share. Yesterday (June 13th/14th) - EA officially pulled Crysis 2 off steam and put it up on the Origin service, as an exclusive download. In addition to that, the latest Alice game is also strictly available on the Origin service. Some people say - "about time steam gets some competition" and "this is better for the industry". However, is it competition when a product in simply denied to be on another service leaving choice up to customer? There...

Saints Row: The Third shows us how to make a sandbox game.

This is one ugly logo. Won't say a lot more, since the video is pretty self-explanatory. But I WILL say that there's a guy punching people in the balls, who then brings out a massive flexi-dildo and starts hitting more people with it. That is all. Additional Note from ReDDoT - By the way, for those wondering, this game's PC version is fully developed and supported, it is NOT a console port! This was confirmed by developers on E3, as well as the players trying out the demos.&nbs...

The ultimate E3 trailer - 3-minute long video game orgasm
