It's nearly here! LittleBigPlanet has gone gold, and will be hitting stores in North and Latin America on October 21st.

Also up for grabs during week one is the rare "I was there Week One" t-shirt, which is indeed so rare that I've placed it after the jump. More »

About two years ago, I made the prediction that GSC Game World's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, already four years in development at that point, would never see the light of day. That's something I wish were only partly true, as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a pain in the ass to type. But publisher THQ has proven me wrong by announcing that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. has indeed gone gold and will ship this March for the PC. The first-person shooter from the Ukrainian dev features a spooky blend of sci-fi and horror in a post nuclear Chernobyl. More »
