- StarCraft II Beta in 2009 - During the BlizzCon 2008 show, a
StarCraft II Q&A session was held with the long haired and rockin' Chris

heard about that lot already) and
a confirmation that the StarCraft Beta will start in 2009!

- Fallout 3 PS3 is Ugly - The internet exploded last night when an
official Playstation magazine's story was leaked about Fallout 3. The

released
a statement regarding the quote and clarifies their comments.
