"Videogames players heading to i39 this April could return with more than new friends and happy memories as organiser Multiplay has unveiled the UK's biggest gaming bounty. A total of over £20,000 will be up for grabs across five separate tournaments, making this the largest and potentially most profitable competitive gaming event of the year."
"You wake up, move to your computer, and launch Steam. This has become your routine. This is "normal" to you. Are you addicted to video games or are you simply part of a growing, culturally accepted phenomenon?
Video games are fun, and it's illogical to assume that everyone will be responsible with their gaming habits. Some of us enjoy a few hours of casual play per week while others insist on spending the night in front of a screen. At the end of the day, most of us depend on games for a s..."
Steam has recently released their top 10 sellers for the week of January 17-23rd, and surprisingly the top sellers are actually Pre-Orders.

"Heaven Media, a publisher for the most important gaming websites, has today presented a professional eSports tournament, to be held at Gadget Show Live, at Birmingham NEC from 17th to 19th April 2009. Four teams from all over Europe will challenge for free against each other, with the chance to be awarded with a £6,000 prize. The tournament will feature Valves FPS Counter-Strike: Source."
Russ Frushtick and Chris Plante delivers a debateable list of the games that offer infinite replay - the most value for your gaming dollar. Personally, I feel there are some glaring omissions including grind-heavy and replay friendly titles like Disgaea 3, Pixeljunk's Eden and Monsters, SPORE, NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 2 (because of the ugc adventure packs) *stern look thrown Plante's way* and Way of the Samurai 3 (though I'm the only one in the office with the import and can hiragana/katakana and s...
