Weekly Digest - 28/10/2008
By Steven Perdikis - Tue Oct 28, 2008 10:39am
Each week, we collate the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a line-up of the most downloaded files added in the same time frame. That way, in case you missed something, you can catch up in one helpful little spot, every Monday morning.
Much like our "Monday" Screens, the digest is a little bit late this week, due to unforeseen circumstances. First person shooters appeared to be popular this week, with Call of Duty: World at War's beta information proving to be the most popular, followed by our review of S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky, and our discussion with Far Cry 2 lead designer Clint Hocking and producer Louis-Pierre Pharand.
