About this time last year, a relatively new development studio named Riot Games that hardly anyone had heard of managed to snaffle about US $7 million in funding. The gaming world looked on with interest, mainly to see if the CEO's would do a midnight flit, and then promptly forgot all about it (as is our wont) until the announcement of the upcoming League of Legends. Since about a hundred games are announced each week, we didn't pay much attention then, either - but the news that a couple of ex-Blizzard employees have joined the flock is pricking my interest.

So the Max Payne movie is out now, and it sucks. Hard. I don’t think I’ve actually paid money to see such a bad film at the cinema before.

Depths of Peril proved pretty damn addictive, and fans have been looking forward to the release of Soldak's next project, the hack-and-slash Kivi's Underworld. The open beta has arrived, and we've got the full client available for you on the mirror, for both PC and Mac.

Mid-year sales tend to be pretty awful, but one particular Australian retailer was running out a lot of stock for around the $5 mark, mainly on the PC, PS2, DS and Xbox 360. Needless to say, this week, I came home a couple of hundred dollars poorer and weighed down by bags of games, yet could not find many of the titles I wanted due to the store having been raided by people buying up multiple copies of the one game to trade or sell on eBay. Such is life. I'm still trying to wrestle my way through Alone in the Dark on the Xbox 360, a game with some stunning ideas, but absolutely horrendous controls and far too many bugs and glitches.
