Now that Steam is on Mac and Valve has shown that it's willing to branch out, how long do you think it will be before they announce that they are developing for the PS3?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that by the end of the year, Half Life: Ep. 3 will be announced along with the announcement that the HL series is headed to the PS3. Who's got my back on that? no comments

This week serves up a double-dose of "pew pew", as two shooters arrive on XBLA this week; Metal Slug XX and Aqua.
First off, Metal Slug XX is actually a revamp of Metal Slug 7 and not Metal Slug 20 as you may have guessed at first. The game will release on XBLA on May 19th, for 1200MSP.
Aqua is a steam-punk styled, top-down, naval-based shmup, made by Slovak developers Games Distillery. It is set to release on May 19th, for the price of 800MSP.
Check out videos for both titles after the break.

Update:
All six episodes are now available to view at brightfalls.com. Enjoy!

If you're completely psyched for Alan Wake, and can't wait until it arrives in May, (like, for example, me!), you'll likely be quite excited about Bright Falls, the six-part, live action prequel to the game. The series is due to release soon on Xbox Live, Xbox.com, and brightfalls.com, and is set to run right up until the games North American release. In even better news, The New York Times has been given exclusive access to the first two episodes, which are available to watch now on The New York Times' website.
In these first two episodes, the series introduces the prequels main protagonist, Jake Fisher, and starts setting the scene for the the game. Right from the start, the series is filled with enough intrigue, menace, and down-right quirkiness to draw more than its fair share of comparisons to cult classic TV show Twin Peaks, and is an entertaining watch for those desperate to get their hands on the game. We'll just have to hope that we don't have to wait long for the final four episodes.
In a strange turn of events, likely due to the fact that developers Remedy are based in Finland, Alan Wake is due to hit retail shelves on May 14th in Europe, and May 18th in North America. no comments
As I write this, it's currently early morning, on Friday the 14th of May here in the UK -- which has been officially renamed here in Europe, as Alan Wake release day. So, all I have to do get my hands on all of this survival horror-y goodness, is survive work, manage a trip to whichever shop I decide to purchase the game from without getting over-excited and passing out, and hope that they don't sell out of copies before I get there.
Suddenly today feels like it's going to be a really long day.
As a closing thought, I'd just like to point out that, from the above screenshot, we can clearly see that Mr. Wake is clearly looking for something. In the immortal words of everyone's friend, Lionel Richie (especially if you're a blind chick): "Hello? Is it me you're looking for?" no comments
I'd just like to make one thing clear: I never played the original Little Big Planet. I always wanted to play it, but just never got round to it. So when Media Molecule released the trailer for the recently announced Little Big Planet 2, I couldn't help but notice that it looks... Oh, what's the word I'm looking for? Oh yeah, ABSOLUTELY FRICKIN' RAD!
I mean, did you see the sackboy mech? Or the mouse racing game? OR THE SACKBOY WITH THE 3-D GLASSES AND THE NEWSPAPER BEARD?!? AWESOME!!!
WAIT, WHY AM I SHOUTING? OH RIGHT, IT'S BECAUSE THERE'S JUST TOO MUCH RAD IN THAT TRAILER!

Back to Gamefly goes Batman: Arkham Asylum, and in comes Super Street Fighter 4.
For the most part, I really liked B:AA, and I feel the demo that came out last year didn't do it justice. What I absolutely hated was the way that Joker taunts you over the loudspeaker throughout the entire game. God, that was annoying. Equally annoying was finding one of those Riddler things and every time the Riddler would say some variation of, "That was an easy one..." Ugh, that made me cringe every time. I didn't finish Arkham Asylum, but I got what I imagine to be about halfway through it, so I really feel I got the gist of the game.
Speaking of gist, does anyone else think Harley Quinn and Poisn Ivy were strangely super-sexy? They make me want to gist all over the place. no comments
I just wrote a much longer and more awesome post, but Firefox crashed and I lost the whole thing. But like ol' Bill Shakespeare said, "Brevity is the sould of wit," so here's the gist.
My wife Jess spends more time playing games than I do, but since it's not teh Haloz and teh Mawdurhn Kombatz, I'm still considered the more hardcore gamer (discrimination, anyone?). She's great at puzzle games, probably because she's Korean. She beat every puzzle in Picross DS (300+ puzzles), so I bought her Picross 3D. She likes it, I have no idea what the hell she's doing (again, Korean). no comments
It's an interesting collection of arcade titles this week, which sees the release of Things On Wheels on XBLA, and the HD update of 16-bit classic, Rocket Knight on PSN and XBLA.
Things On Wheels is exclusive to XBLA, and is a racing title in which you race around tracks in miniature remote-controlled cars. The game is set to retail on May 12th for 800MSP. In addition to the single-player campaign, the game features split-screen co-op, and up-to 4 player online play over Xbox Live, and looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Rocket Knight on the other hand, is a a 2.5D revival of the original Rocket Knight series, and has been developed by Climax Entertainment (the developers behind Silent Hill: Shattered Memories), and the game is said to combine the best features from the original series, alongside some fresh new ideas.
Rocket Knight is set to release on the North American PSN store for $15 on May 11th, and will land on the European PSN store on May 12th for the price of €12.99 (£10 UK).
As ever, XBLA will be keeping things simple, and the game will release globally on May 12th, for the price of 1200MSP.
As usual, videos for both titles can be found after the break. Enjoy!
