"A local business decision," says publisher.
Ubisoft's piped up and explained that Assassin's Creed II and Silent Hunter V were not removed
from Steam due to DRM disagreements.
"The games listed are available for sale in all other countries on Steam. The fact it is not
available on Steam UK has nothing to do with the DRM but is linked to a local business discussion
between Ubisoft and Steam in UK," said Ubisoft in a statement.
Both games had mysteriously vanished amid speculation that Valve didn't want to muddy its
reputation and be associated with Ubisoft's controversial DRM solution that requires users to be
online at all times.

Ubisoft has revealed that Splinter Cell: Conviction on the PC will now be released on 30th April,
two weeks after the Xbox 360 version.
That's according to the publisher's latest release schedule issued this afternoon.
Ubisoft has had some PR difficulties with PC gamers lately, stemming from its controversial DRM
system, which has become a target for hackers since it launched with Assassin's Creed II and
Silent Hunter 5.

Valve "really excited" about future.
Valve's released the first "bunch" of user-made items and weapons for Team Fortress 2 on Steam.
These were submitted to the new Team Fortress 2 Contribution Site, and Valve's excited about the
potential this has for the future.
"This is really exciting for us here at Valve," reads a post on the TF2 blog. "This update
represents the next step in that process. The line between developers and players is getting very
blurry, and we think that's a great thing. "

Alpha top dog.
Saying I'm a fan of Planescape: Torment is a bit like saying that Vlad III Dracula enjoyed a spot
of impaling - it gets the point across, but doesn't quite convey the extent of the fervour.
It doesn't reveal how Vlad took the time to ensure his preferred method of execution was as
painful and humiliating as possible, nor the number of poor souls he consigned to such a fate.
Similarly, it doesn't address the fact that I grunt "I feel stronger" whenever I finish my daily
exercise routine, and sometimes wish my wife had a fleshy tail and a Scottish accent.
However, I am eternally grateful to the man who, by and large, made my dysfunction possible:
Chris Avellone, whom you may also know for having a hand in Alpha Protocol, Knights of the Old
Republic II, Fallout 2, and, perhaps less excitingly, Descent to Undermountain.

Valve's Steam authentication favoured.
The Steam edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will ditch SecuROM in an upcoming game patch.
Valve's own authentication service will be used instead.
The update, version 522175, is imminent. Apparently there's a bit of extra QA on Steam to bypass.
All non-Steam users can download the patch now. Unfortunately, a few problems appear to have
cropped up; members of the BFBC2 forum report crashes to desktop after installing the update, and
some are having account login issues.

They have a voice. They're going to use it.
Let's remove any confusion from the start. Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening is not another piece
of crappy DLC following the dismal inclusions we've seen since the BioWare RPG's release last
November. This expansion is 25 hours of full-scale new content, essentially an entire new game,
that picks up the story however you may have left it. It has a new setting, a (mostly) new crew
of companions, new abilities, skills, spells and talents, and most importantly, a re-imagined
approach that's appropriate to a shorter format while still achieving the necessary sense of
scale.
You've finished Dragon Age, right? By necessity, this review has to mention the events at the end
of that game, so consider yourself spoiler-warned. That said, we can all rest easy because the
Archdemon has been defeated, the Blight quashed, and now all citizens of Ferelden live in happy
bliss, singing songs of praise to the mighty Grey Warden [your name here] who saved the day.
Except, of course, that's not the case at all. It's never that easy.
There are a number of ways you could have chosen to end Dragon Age. The consequences of these can
be dramatic enough that you might not even have a character to import into the start of
Awakenings. My character, Simon, survived, and so I pick things up with the level 21 Grey Warden
being attacked on his way to Warden stronghold Vigil's Keep to take up his post as Commander.
Attacked by darkspawn.

Nodded off.
When Command & Conquer 4 was announced, they made it sound like it was time for some
answers. You want to find out who Kane really is and where he comes from? How he never dies? How
his tiny beard always looks so neat? You want to know about that stuff, do you? Are you sure?
Wouldn't you like some more questions? Don't you like questions? C'mon, what's wrong with
questions? Why are you leaving? Won't you come back?
