What have the gaming public been buying this week via digital distribution platform Steam? Last week, the gaming public purchased a whole lot of copies of Left 4 Dead 2. The latest Gearbox title, Borderlands also proved to be popular, taking out the second spot. The top five was rounded out by Dragon Age: Origins (in two separate flavours) and Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

This week’s Coming Attractions is brought to you by broken street dates and clearance sales. Many of the games marked for release tomorrow, like Colin McCrae DiRT 2, Need for Speed SHIFT and NHL 10 should already be available in stores now, unless your local game shill is one of those ones that plays by the book. There is also a few neat console ports hitting the PC this week, namely destructor-sim Red Faction Guerilla and Resident Evil 5.
From next week on, we’ll be bringing Coming Attractions to you on Mondays, mostly in an effort to avoid street date breaches messing up our hard work. Don’t forget that you can check out our full release schedule for any updates and changes.

Another Tuesday means that it is time for your weekly dose of Now Playing, where each week, Games On Net brings you a selection of the most interesting and sometimes boring trailers released recently.
This week, we start the festivities with a new developer diary from Dark Void, which kind of reveals why people probably won't get the game when it is released. After that we get extremely unnerved by bizarre marketing courtesy of Saints Row 2 which questions my faith in humanity. After that, we declare war on the world, by embarking on a journey into Massive Action Game. After that, we fail to learn how exactly Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince came to be (we're told it was magic), before finally settling a childhood rivalry with a not so Mega Man.

Those of you who've played Saints Row 2 to death, and have been left wanting more can get some more gameplay content today, with the Ultor Exposed downloadable content for the title now available via the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Network.
The Ultor Exposed downloadable content adds a swag of new features - including three new co-op enabled missions, six new vehicles, new clothing, and a variety of new moustaches, a direct result of an Australian initiative started by THQ to raise money for Men's Charity.

2009 has been a bit iffy so far, but that’s about to change as we creep into February. Chrono Trigger makes its PAL debut on the DS, only fourteen years after the original SNES release (and three months after everyone else), R-Type Dimensions storms onto Xbox Live Arcade to cause many an expletive and thrown controller and The Lord of the Rings Online ventures into the Mines of Moria for its first expansion.
Don’t forget to check out the full release schedule for the latest changes and information on upcoming games.

With the temperature here in Adelaide forecast to hit 41 degrees Celsius today, a trinity of news regarding happenings on Valve's digital distribution platform, Steam has fittingly landed on my desk.
Firstly - there is an update for Garry's Mod, and another for Saints Row 2. Finally, the trinity of news is rounded by something suitably F.E.A.Rsome, with users now able to pre-purchase F.E.A.R 2: Project Origin via the digital distribution platform.

It is the end of the year and what better way to celebrate than to have a look back on some of the best trailers we have seen this year? There have been so many good ones! New game announcements, comedy trailers and even movie-like clips. I've sifted through the weeks and weeks of previous installments of Now Playing, peeked in boxes and snooped around in our huge File Library to find the highlights.
What made it into some of the best trailers for this year? Well this week you are just going to have to come in and have a look. If you are in the market for something new, End Credits will still have a dosage of all the latest trailers. So jump in and enjoy a few of the best game trailers of 2008.

With Christmas rapidly approaching, The Warp Pipe is calling time for 2008. After 45 columns without a break this year, I’m clocking off a little early to read a few books, watch some movies, replay some of 2008’s best games and of course, fly to Queensland to spend Christmas with the family. The Warp Pipe will be back on the 18th of January with a few minor tweaks and a couple of bold predictions for 2009.
Speaking of bold proclamations, The Warp Pipe made a few just before the start of the second, third and final quarters of the year. I thought we’d use the final column of the year evaluating my ability to predict the quality of soon-to-be-released video games.

With Movember coming to an end, it is time to pull out those razors and come back to the real world. But before that we have the Mo-riffic Awards to hand out to some of the best mustaches in video games.
This competition is closer than a barber's shave. With some great characters sporting some great 'tashes - who will get the hairy award? Have to come on in to find out!

Another week and another selection of the best trailers from our File Library. With so many big name games coming out this week we have a look at some of the bigger releases and add another victim to Our Favourite Trailers. So come in, kick back and enjoy the show.
We start off with a hit from the mob. We look at how to launch yourself off an edge with faith and answering the call of duty. We check in with Shaun White and his adventure to the the snow and are alerted to a new infomercial. Finally we see what The Saints are doing to support Movember.

This has been a huge week for announcements. Lists, expansions and of course a heap of new trailers. As the Q4 releases get close and closer, each week we have been sent a heap of new trailers made just tease us that little more on the fact they aren't out yet.
This week we look at a classic 3D game. We continue to form our band and look at becoming a saint. We check out where our board can go, even if it is undercover. Lastly we finish off by finding something unleashed.

2008 has been a little different from the standard industry year, in that we’ve seen a lot of major titles released outside of the holiday shopping season. Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Grand Theft Auto IV and Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots were all released in the first half of the year. One would think that that might make for a less than stellar holiday line up, but the game publishers of the world (bar Nintendo) are inclined to prove otherwise.
Over the next two weeks (due to the sheer number of releases), The Warp Pipe will be boldly predicting the quality of new games in the next quarter.

While it seems that a lot of the news involving video games and the Classifications Board is fairly negative, detailing just which games you won't be able to buy in this country, today we've got some news that will turn the tides a bit.
THQ are pleased to announce that their upcoming sequel, Saints Row 2 has been granted an MA15+ rating (due to strong violence, sexual references and coarse language), meaning anyone in Australia over the age of 15 will be able to purchase the game unrestricted when it hits our shores on October 16th.
Even better? The publishers have confirmed that the game has not been edited for the Australian market!

It's been a while since we've heard anything about Saints Row 2, but if you're a fan of double-crosses, violence and the occasional stripper, you're in luck. Check out the new Saints are coming trailer, it's jam-packed with all three, plus some impressive animation and gameplay for good measure.
Promising "vastly expanded" customisation options, sandbox tools and toys and all new vehicles that you can use to explore the totally transformed and expanded city of Stilwater, Saints Row 2 is set to arrive later this year. This new video (and the accompanying screens) shed some light on the backstory that surrounds the sequel to the 2006 best-seller, including information on three of the new featured gangs.

With the release of a certain game today I'm sure you are all sitting at home and wanting to check out some new trailers of up coming releases... right? Oh well, I'm sure the rest of us will enjoy them and the newest addition to Now Playing, All-Time Favourites.
This week I have a new type of trailer, we break some faces and we check out the latest fashion. Some troops let us in on their survival guide that might just help us on a conspiracy and Gary Busey lets us meet his new friends.
