What should one call Corsair now that it’s no longer easy to pigeon hole as a memory manufacturer or SSD supplier? With its keyboards, cases, mice and headsets it’s becoming the company of all things, and there’s a couple of quirky new products launched today which expand its oeuvre once again.
Over at CES in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, Corsair is busy showing off its new Link Commander and Link Cooling kits. The principle behind Link is a complete monitoring and real time tweaking platform for your PC. Heatsinks like the H80 CPU cooler and Airflow Pro memory fan attach to a front panel mounted control box, which in turn is run via Windows desktop software.
The idea is that you can adjust fan speeds at the click of a mouse. Normally I’d prefer to do this using a hardware controller on the front of the case, on account of the fact that I won’t even load keyboard drivers into the background of my gaming PC. However, Corsairs system also comes with LED lighting tubes capable of illuminating the inside of your case with 16million colours, so a more sophisticated control is necessary.
All in the Cooling and Light kits cost $139, but you can buy them separately for less.
As well as the Corsair Link kits, there’s also a couple of new cases on display at CES. The Carbide 300R is the new $89 budget enclosure

The full version of the Red Orchestra 2 SDK has been released for free, giving RO2 owners the opportunity to create maps and game modes for Tripwire’s multiplayer shooter. The developers have released a few limited versions of the SDK, but the full suite of tools is now available.
“Users can now make and publish everything from simple mods and mutators, through custom maps and on to full total conversion mods,” Tripwire say, mentioning that big mods like Rising Storm, In Country Vietnam and Iron Europe are already in development. You can grab the mod tools from the Tools tab of your Steam account.
Tripwire are no strangers to the modding scene. Killing Floor and Red Orchestra started out as mods for Unreal 2004. Hopefully the SDK release can inspire another wave of talented modders.

I’ve settled into a comfy routine during my past week in Skyrim. I spend time by my new riverside shack, hunting, fishing, gathering alchemy ingredients, and chopping wood at a nearby mill. Every other day I make the walk to Windhelm to mix potions and craft armor to sell to vendors. I even run (well, walk) into a giant who is doing some strolling of his own near my house, and to my delight he doesn’t try to kill me or ask me to do something for him. In my mind, he’s the perfect NPC: completely indifferent to my existence. I’ve named him Andre.
This morning, however, on my way back from spending the night in Windhelm, something is nagging at me. I’ve spent my morning walk trying to figure out what do to next, but I’m drawing a blank. Where do I go from here? What’s on my to-do list? And then, as my shack comes into view, I suddenly realize why I’m having so much trouble planning my next move: I may not actually have a next move.
Joystiq is reporting that a twitter user has posted a photo of a piece of Best Buy marketing that points to a February 1 release date for Diablo III. There is a lot of evidence to contradict this exciting release date, but there is also some evidence to support Best Buy's claim.
First the supporting evidence. The photo above, obviously, and many retailers are listing the game for release next month. Best Buy's website and Target both have the game pegged for a February release date. We also know that Diablo III is going through the ratings board hoops, although that isn't necessarily indicative of the game being near completion.
Now, the contradictory evidence. In the image above, February is misspelled, which does happen admittedly (although I wouldn't know anything abouut about that), but that's a pretty glaring mistake for such a big release. In response to the image, Blizzard's Community manager,

Myst, as everyone who ignores people who are wrong can tell you, is a festering boil upon the gaming industry, found just off to the side of adventuring’s anus, on the itchiest part of point and click’s clammiest buttock. It landed in 1993, with its pretty graphics instantly bedazzling all who gazed upon it, especially those who found a copy stuffed with their first CD drive or nestled in the packaging of their printer for reasons that still escape all comprehension. To this day, it has armies of admirers. Unrelated, there are millions of people whose idea of a good time is watching obese members of the opposite sex bathing in porridge to the tunes of Barry Manilow. Probably. In conclusion, Myst is rubbish.
But did you ever wonder what happened to scenic Myst Island after some four million players had tramped across it? Of course not. But if you had, Pyst might just have been your answer…
Looking to build yourself a new gaming PC for the top titles of 2012? Sadly, January sales don’t really affect PC component prices. If anything, things are a little bit more expensive than they were in mid-December. Memory is a little bit cheaper than it was, but most other components have gone up a little bit.
Even so, and with big news like Intel’s Ivy Bridge and more affordable Southern Islands graphics cards on the horizon, now’s as good a time as any to start upgrading your system.
The first look at the PC Gamer Rig for the year doesn’t see any significant improvements in terms of processing power or component selection. But I have swapped its case again as a result of a group test recently written for the mag. The new Corsair Carbide 500R is a bit more expensive than the Cooler Master Plus 912HAF that it wore at the end of 2011, but it’s an exceptional case for the price, with tons of room inside and some excellent features. Plus, it looks good and runs quietly.
If you’re after a bargain, though, you might think about getting your hands on one of AMD’s Bulldozer chips. Just before Christmas the company announced a cashback scheme of up to

Microsoft claims the recent string of overseas phishing attempts against Xbox Live members is not a result of the service being hacked.
One such phishing scam was detailed on a Tumblr blog called “Hacked on Xbox.” User Susan Taylor had her Xbox Live account illegally accessed by someone who apparently then purchased a Family Gold Pack under her name and gifted points to other accounts that are later sold through online auctions.
In total, Taylor lost $300 from her PayPal account and has since been refunded for her troubles.
“Microsoft can confirm that there has been no breach to the security of our Xbox Live service. In recent cases, some Xbox Live members appear to have been victims of malicious scams,” a spokesperson said. “Unfortunately this is something that affects many Internet based services.
“The online safety of Xbox Live members remains of the utmost importance, which is why we consistently take measures to protect Xbox Live against ever-changing threats. However, we are aware that a handful of customers have experienced problems getting their accounts restored once they’ve reported an issue,” the company added.
“We are working directly with those customers to restore their accounts as soon as possible and are reviewing our processes to ensure a positive customer support experience.”

Hirai will replace current president Howard Stringer, though Stringer will remain on board as chairman and chief executive officer. Hirai was promoted to deputy president of the company last March and was in charge of Sony's consumer products and services division, which included PlayStation.

Here's where things get interesting. A Namco Europe employee recently suggested on the company's forums that a PC version of Dark Souls is entirely possible...if there's demand for it.
"There is always possibilities to have games adapted on PC and the good news is that Dark Souls is not a 100% typical Console game so the adaptation is possible," Namco said. "Now to make things happen, let's say the demand has to be properly done. Someone to make a successful petition?"
Fans have already started an online petition and gathered over 10,000 signatures in less than a day. Impressive! When asked for comment, though, Namco told Rock Paper Shotgun that any talk of a PC port of Dark Souls at this point is purely speculative and that there's no further comment on the matter.

is a portable software that will not require you to install it on your computer. It is also very easy to use; all you have to do is run the application and the keyboard will be automatically blocked. Naturally, you also have the option of putting the program on hold so that you may actually use the keyboard when you need it.
Another interesting feature that can offer you is the ability to record and then save your baby's performance on the keyboard. This will allow you to brag about your kid's creativity to absolutely anyone you want. Of course, you will also be able to import and a listen to a previously saved "music session". All in all, is a fun, innovative and handy application that will allow you to ingeniously and effortlessly keep your infant busy while you use your computer.

Gotham City Impostors’ armed-to-the-teeth cast of Bruce Wayne wannabes may look sloppy and ragtag, but it’s all subterfuge. Zany vigilante justice takes hard work, so Monolith’s opted to delay the game into February to make sure every last hair is meticulously out of place. Currently, the developer isn’t offering any further whens, whys, or wherefores, but I’ve requested details with emails and gravily bellows of “WHERE IS HE?” I feel like they might not be getting the message, though. Maybe I should try my Bane impression.

The third week sales results for PlayStation Vita in Japan were released today, and it's not looking too good.
According to Japan retail tracker Media Create, Sony's latest handheld only sold 42,648 units. This is a drop from the 72,479 Sony sold in week 2 and 321,407 in week 1. Total Vita sales in Japan currently sit at nearly 437,000 units.
Sales for the 3DS also dropped to 197,952 from 482,200 the week prior, but the handheld still led all console sales. These figures represent sales from December 26, 2011 through January 1, 2012.

Grand Theft Auto III didn't see many changes after the events of 9/11. As part of an ongoing Q&A series on its website, Rockstar Games says the only significant change was the removal of one story mission.
"We removed only one mission that referenced terrorists and changed a few other cosmetic details – car details, a couple of ped comments, lines of radio dialogue etc – the game came out a very short time later," Rockstar said. "The biggest change was the US packaging which remixed the previous packaging into what became our signature style – because the previous packaging

Marvel's MODOK, the character who appears to be modeled after Humpty Dumpty, is the highlight of this wave. Capcom's four-legged painter Armaterasu is also included. The packs breakdowns are Ryu versus Captain America, She-Hulk versus Chun Li, Doctor Doom versus Wesker, X-23 versus Felicia (the cool one, not Day), MODOK versus Akuma, and Amaterasu versus Thor.

The Dark Ages might be drawing to a close, but Europe is still in turmoil. Petty lords vie against beleaguered kings who struggle to assert control over their fragmented realms. The Pope calls for a Crusade to protect the Christians in the Holy Land even as he refuses to relinquish control over the investiture of bishops - and their riches. Now is the time for greatness.

Syndicate’s co-op mode should provide the closest experience to the Bullfrog original. Sort of. The four player mode will put you in the shoes of the squad of agents you controlled in the old games. The trailer mentions nine missions based on the original campaign, as well as 12 “breach applications.” These are special abilities that let you hack into enemy equipment (including the chips in their brains) and revive downed allies. Like the weapons, you’ll be able to customise these with upgrades earned as you progress. Find out more in our Syndicate preview.

TweetBattlefield 3′s core gameplay designer, Alan Kertz has opened up DICE’s Battlefield 3 patch ideas for feedback on Reddit. The discussion, spotted by Games.on.net, has been going for a few days, but includes frank assessments of many of Battlefield 3′s unlocks along with a suggestion from Kertz that “the player is limited in choice due to a few accessories being the clear winners in almost all categories.”
The list of suggested balance changes haven’t been decided on yet. DICE have decided to go to the community for some feedback first.
Kertz describes some potential changes for overused perks like the foregrip that provides steadier aim when firing from the hip, and suggests that the bipod attachment that lets players steady their weapon against a hard surface before firing is underpowered. The post also includes in depth musings on the role and effectiveness of suppressors, flash suppressors and heavy barrels.
Based on my experiences, the assessment of bipods is especially accurate, but it’s worth seconding some of the suggestions that commenters mention in response to Kertz’ post. Currently, the right mouse button brings a weapon up to aim by default, but also deploys the bipod if there’s a nearby surface that’s suitable. It’d be good to see these on different keys. On respawn, flashlights and laser pointers are switched on by default, potentially giving your position away if you’re spawning on a squadmate in a good position behind enemy lines. Pressing T on every spawn gets annoying pretty quickly.
It’s good to know that DICE are still working to balance BF3 and involving the community in the process. It’s always useful to see the thinking behind the changes the devs are making. The last Battlefield 3 patch made some popular improvements, nerfing mortars and tactical lights. What would you like to see tweaked in the next patch?

TweetThe recent Ilum exploits in Star Wars: The Old Republic pale in comparison to the the glitch shown above, spotted by RPS, in which a bounty hunter discovers that dancing instantly interrupts all enemy attacks, effectively rendering him invincible as long as he never, ever drops the beat.
Typing the /getdown command in front of an enemy that’s targeting you seems to do the trick. We haven’t had chance to try it yet, but we’ll dive in for a quick boogie in front of the first Rancor we find at lunchtime. Chris reckons that as the /getdown command is used for group dancing, the attacking NPC’s indecision may be down to the fact that he’s TRYING to dance, but can’t manage it, because he only knows how to kill :(
UPDATE: Reports have been coming in that players using this exploit are being banned by BioWare. Do NOT use the irrepressible power of dance to avoid a fight until we confirm.
UPDATE #2: The earlier reports of players being banned have been outed as fakes, and we’ve confirmed with BioWare directly that no one has been banned, suspended, or even warned in regards to the /getdown bug. Get back out on that dance floor!

TweetDeity places you in the hooves of a purple-horned demon whose realm is invaded by torch-bearing, sword-wielding fantasy types. On the surface, it’s an isometric dungeon-crawler in the vein of Diablo: but there’s no direct combat and no loot to find. Instead, this is a stealth puzzle game – the student developers at Digipen cite Batman: Arkham Asylum as one of their influences, and it shows.
It’s entirely mouse controlled, with left click to move and right click to teleport between locations in a cone of purple mist. You’re vulnerable to light, but by teleporting into wall-mounted braziers you can turn them to your side, gaining a little health and a place to hide in the process. Teleporting into enemies, meanwhile, causes them to explode into a shower of giblets.

As with the original, King Arthur 2 promises Total War-esque strategy with a fantasy twist. It’s set in a fairytale version of the United Kingdom steeped in Celtic lore and old Arthurian legends, which means it contains significantly more flying harpies and antlered giants than most Total War titles.
It’s available to pre-order now on Steam and, like the faeries of old, is seeking to tempt ye with promises of silvery treasure. If you pay now, you’ll be able to start playing the Dead Legion prologue campaign right away. The rest of the game is due to be released sometime later this month, when the old gods deign that the time is right. Find out more about the sequel in our King Arthur 2 preview.

The latest Max Payne 3 screenshots give us our first look at the new multiplayer mode, as season favourites MaxPayneDev3, 4 and 5 take on blue team underdogs MaxPayneDev7, 8 and 9. It’s weird to see nametags floating over people’s heads in a Max Payne game, but it looks as though we’ll be able to dive through things and over things with the same dexterity as Payne himself in multiplayer
The closest comparison I can think to how the whole thing might work is John Woo’s Stranglehold, and that was completely bonkers. You could swing from chandeliers and run up and down dinosaur spines in slow motion shooting each other. Max Payne 3 is likely to take a much more serious tone judging from the screenshots below.

This report comes from a guy who knows a guy, so get your grains of salt ready, but it all does sound very reasonable, especially when you consider that Nintendo does have plans to expand the Wii U's virtual offerings beyond games.
According to forgetthebox.net, Nintendo is planning to make the Wii U an e-reader capable of downloading books, magazines, and more interestingly, strategy guides and instruction booklets. According to the blog, Nintendo is planning to allow the 3DS to share similar services. In fact, you may be able to download digital versions of magazines you are already subscribed to, and the system could download the latest issues as soon as they become available without any prompting from the user.
The idea of logging into the Virtual Console store and downloading games that come with an electronic version of the booklets that used to come with classic games is very exciting. Those little books used to be the closest I could get to a video game when I wasn't able to actually play them, and I have vivid memories of leafing through them and taking in what little story and hints they were able to add to the game.
This is all without confirmation from Nintendo, of course, but it all seems entirely possible.

David Cox, a producer for Konami working with the Lords of Shadow series, tweets links to interesting articles about his game often, but this tweet was directed towards a site with a write-up about wanting to see a sequel to Lords of Shadow. The link was offered with a message from Cox: "Tweeted without comment :)"
Maybe I am looking for subtext that doesn't exist, but that comment about not commenting seems like a hint to me. Or maybe I just really want to see a sequel to Lords of Shadow, and will grasp at anything that seems remotely like a hint. This isn't the first time he has dropped subtle clues about more Castlevania.

Good news all you Steel Diver fans! Japan is getting miniatures of all the memorable submarines from the game. There are also some Star Fox ones, which are pretty cool, I guess.
You'll have to import them if you want them unfortunately, but the set includes an Arwing, the Landmaster Tank, and the Blue Marine submarine. There are also three subs from Steel Diver, but you don't have to keep those if you don't want them.

Darth Vader was played by five different actors across the six Star Wars films. Bob Anderson, the stuntman who donned the cape in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi to perform the battle sequences with Luke, has passed away.
David Prowse wore the Vader suit the majority of the time in the original Star Wars films. James Earl Jones gave Vader his memorable voice. Sebastian Shaw played the unmasked version of Vader in Return of the Jedi. Hayden Christensen only wore the suit briefly in the end of Revenge of the Sith, but it still counts. Bob Anderson was the man who made Vader an intimidating fighter.
Anderson also helped train actors in the art of swordplay for the Lord of the Rings films, further cementing his influence on nerd culture for decades to come.

Team Meat has announced via twitter that its excellent and difficult tile, Super Meat Boy, has now sold over one million copies.
That is an incredible milestone, and deserved for such a great game, but the statistic I am more interested in, is how many deaths have occurred across those one million sold?

That is where the game was meant to release, but upon winning the Dream Play Build Challenge, Microsoft offered developer Humble Hearts a contract to release the game on Xbox Live Arcade.
We haven't heard much of it since then, but Dean Dodrill, the developer of the game, recently said on Neogaf that he promised the game would release this year. That is good news, because Dust looks super slick. Check out some of the gameplay below.

Possibly in response to the recent plethora of news stories covering SOPA and Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony's engagement with the act, the Entertainment Software Association has issued a statement.
The ESA issued the following statement to Joystiq.com in regard to its stance on SOPA:
"As an industry of innovators and creators, we understand the importance of both technological innovation and content protection, and do not believe the two are mutually exclusive. Rogue websites – those singularly devoted to profiting from their blatant illegal piracy – restrict demand for legitimate video game products and services, thereby costing jobs. Our industry needs effective remedies to address this specific problem, and we support the House and Senate proposals to achieve this objective. We are mindful of concerns raised about a negative impact on innovation. We look forward to working with the House and Senate, and all interested parties, to find the right balance and define useful remedies to combat willful wrongdoers that do not impede lawful product and business model innovation."

This Zero figure is for sale, but not in the mass produced action figure in plastic casing sort of way that we are normally used to. This one has been custom created by designer Jin Saotome.
Saotome has apparently been working his way through a series of Mega Man characters and has already created a custom Mega Man himself figure. For more images of Zero and details and how it was created, just head this way.
Filed under: News, Capcom, Mega Man, Gamer Culture, Zero, custom .textbox_commentsThese companies are in favor of an act like SOPA, but have never, technically, endorsed the actual SOPA. This means that their names didn't suddenly disappear from the list of companies supporting SOPA, it just means they were never included to begin with.

It's important to note that this is not a Sony sanctioned price drop, but some retailers of the handheld are already cutting into the price of the Vita after initial sales were disappointing in Japan.
According to GamesRadar, The 3G model is especially struggling, and the price has come down 20% already. That's a far cry from the price jump that the 3DS was forced to make, but it ultimately helped Nintendo when the 3DS was not selling as well as expected.
Since this is not a new MSRP set by Sony, but rather retailers trying to move stock in Japan, it shouldn't affect the assorted prices of the Vita when it launches in the U.S. in February.
Filed under: News, Sony, PlayStation, price drop, vita .textbox_commentsAt E3, Nintendo said that it would be staging a series of symphony concerts around the world to celebrate the music of The Legend of Zelda series in honor of its 25th anniversary. Today, three new dates were announced.

Activision's blockbuster Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is already an incredible sales success. Now, the company revealed that it plans to keep its audience engaged year-round with frequent downloadable content -- including the possibility of new missions and spec-ops modes.
In an interview with Wired, Activision Publishing CEO Eric Hirshberg said that the company now sees Modern Warfare as a "persistent" franchise, played and updated constantly throughout the year.
Hirshberg said, “The idea of giving people constant incremental playable content and making it so you’re never more than a few weeks away from the next new experience within the Call of Duty universe is part of what we’re experimenting with….This franchise doesn’t really behave like most franchises. It’s become something of a year-round activity for a large percentage of our player population.”
This new strategy could take several forms. For one, Hirshberg said that they've received feedback from fans that might prompt them to break up DLC into smaller portions so that it can be delivered on a more regular basis. Also, he's looking beyond the usual multiplayer map packs towards content that could incorporate both mission and spec-ops modes.
He said that the company is relying heavily on fan feedback from messageboards, Twitter, and social networks to understand what players want. Activision hopes that more frequent DLC updates will also drive membership to its Call of Duty Elite service. All Elite members who subscribe for the $50 annual fee receive all of the game's DLC content for free.
The greatest pinball game in history is coming to the Nintendo 3DS eShop next week, complete with new 3D visuals and some classic tables.
Zen Pinball (also known as Pinball FX 2 on Xbox Live) is one of the great examples of a small studio thriving in the new world of digital distribution. By continuing to build on its base with a steady stream of new tables and brilliant licensing moves (like the game's Marvel tables), Zen Pinball has become a favorite of many of the GI staff. Now, we'll be able to play on our 3DSs.
Zen Pinball will release for 3DS on January 12 for $6.99. Included in the price are four classic tables: Earth Defense, Eldorado, Excalibur, and Shaman. As you would expect, developer Zen Studios plans to keep the game stocked with a steady stream of DLC in the coming months. If you own a 3DS, put this right at the top of your DLC wishlist.

This awesome mod adds the full World Trade Center complex in GTA IV or EFLC, in the southern Algonquin. It has been congratulated many times for its realism, its conformity, its quality and its precision. You can visit the plaza, go to the roof thanks to elevators to admire the view, jump or base jump, or do whatever you want ! You are free, the World Trade Center was awesome and you can now make it go back to live, for ever. After 6 months of hard-working development, it is certainly the best IV map mod available for now ! We have tried our best to make it the most realistic and the most conform as possible and here is the result ! Recover the Liberty City skyline as it meant to be !
