Last week, it was all about how much Activision and Infinity Ward have failed us, with Modern Warfare 2 absolutely dominating the news, for all the wrong reasons.

Last week wasn't all that "fun" for PC gamers on the news front, so let us hope that this week will bring some good news.

Finally, news regarding the Team Fortress 2 Sniper update also proved popular, making it a week dominated by news of first person shooters.

Each week, we collate the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe. That way, in case you missed something, you can catch up in one helpful little spot, every Monday morning.
It's starting to get cold here, especially in the mornings (and yes, "cold" is all relative to where you are in the world) - so I'd like to think that last week's news will warm you up a bit. You can make sure you're up to date with news of the StarCraft II beta, or maybe the "future features" promised in Team Fortress 2, or perhaps the sad news that 3D Realms has closed down (no more Duke Nukem Forever!). In happier news, we've also got a review of the Logitech G35 Surround Sound headset, and it looks pretty interesting.

Last week, gamers were inspired to quit their jobs in style, while learning about the "future features" promised in Team Fortress 2 (is it turning into an RPG?), and checking out our latest hardware review - the Nintendo DSi. Steam had a sale on The Orange Box, and we had a sneaky preview at Red Faction: Guerrilla, to round out the top five. For the rest - read on!

Last week was all about hardware, with a couple of interviews with NVIDIA topping the list. We also learned a bit about what's in store with Battlefield 1943, and eagerly waited for the Survival Pack for Left 4 Dead. Continuing a theme, Battlefield 2 was finally upgraded to 1.50 Beta, and the R18+ debate continues, after being picked up by the Minister for Home Affairs.

Unsurprisingly, the world's best-selling MMO dominated a bit last week, with gamers wanting to read all about Blizzard house band Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain in our exclusive interview, plus some more details on the then-looming 3.1 patch. In less-pleasant news, the official Classification Board banhammer came down on Polish FPS NecroVisioN, deeming WWI zombies and demons unsuitable for Australians. George Broussard from 3D Realms let slip some information about Duke Nukem Forever, and Ubisoft took the wraps off of Ezio, the main character in their upcoming Assassin's Creed 2.

The big news last week was that we chatted with Tom Chilton, lead game designer on World of Warcraft, all about the upcoming 3.1 content patch - if you ever wanted to see a developer admit that they make mistakes, read this now!
We also showed off an "obscure teaser" for Assassin's Creed 2, some signs of life from Stargate Worlds, details on The Secret World, a zombie-filled update for Call of Duty: World at War, and a bit of video card news with the Radeon 4890. That's all in addition to our continued recap of GDC news from San Francisco!

Plus, don't forget our GDC coverage, including a preview of Wolfenstein, and an exclusive interview with the developers of R.U.S.E.

You also wanted to know a bit more about the freshly-announced CryENGINE 3, the upcoming game releases, and some details about the Russian war machine.

This is all at the same time as we're giving away Alpha keys for Galaxy Online - have you claimed yours yet?

In case you missed it, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II was released last week, and we reviewed it. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin was also released recently, and we reviewed that, too.

People are also very interested in what you get if you buy Killzone 2, the brand new trailer for ARMA 2, the price of the new Left 4 Dead downloadable content (it's free!), and finally, the Red Valentines sent out from Command & Conquer Red Alert 3: Uprising. Take a look at what else was news!

Last week, everybody still wanted to know what we thought about Killzone 2. We also brought you news that Battlefield: 1943 had been announced (no, that's not a typo), and we spent some quality time with the Dawn of War II beta. Apparently, all is not well in the land of Warhammer Online, with some really low player counts, and Steam has finally done what we've been asking for - given us the ability to choose our own download region. Woohoo!

As we launch into the second month of 2009, everybody wanted to know about Killzone 2. The more beta-oriented strategists preferred Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II, while others read up on what's happening to Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa. We put in the hard work to test out some new headphones for you - and brought it to your attention that the first downloadable content update for Fallout 3 had landed, in icy Anchorage.

The highlight of last week was, without a doubt, the videos of our visit to NetDevil Studios in Colorado, where we found out all about Jumpgate Evolution and Lego Universe! Some less-great news, however, came to Pandemic Brisbane, who were effectively closed by parent company EA. We also had a new video for Mafia II, some system specs for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, and some good news for Australian Savage 2 fans.

A little boy in the US apparently taught himself to drive by playing video games, NVIDIA also announced some new and shiny toys, while online free-to-play browser-based shooter QUAKE Live started its closed beta.

Yes, things have been a bit quiet over here for the past week or so, but it's back to whatever passes as 'normal' this week, our regular diet of news, reviews and letting you know what's going on in the games world.
To recap last week, while a lot of you wanted to know about One Laptop Per Child with our exclusive new video interview, it was narrowly beaten to top spot by a zombie-huntin' review. Number 3 was another review, this one difficult to resist. We handed out some awards, a bit of WAAAGH!, and looked back at the year that was 2008 in gaming.

While I've grown accustomed to being the bearer of bad news, last week's top story was a positive one - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin has been granted an MA15+ rating from the Review Board, which successfully overturns the Refused Classification judgement of last month. We also got our hands on some brand new StarCraft II footage, pointed and laughed at an Xbox 360 thief, took a look at how Duke Nukem Forever is shaping up, and rounded out the top five with some details on new Internode plans.

Things that were popular last week though were Left 4 Dead, as well as the resurgence and apparent backflip over the R18+ for Australian video games news. People also wanted to know what was selling well in this country, and we had a couple of hardware reviews that proved very interesting indeed.

...also popular last week was the latest update in the on-going R18+ saga, with SA attorney-general Michael Atkinson effectively squashing debate on the matter.

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.

...and yes, we're a bit late this week - I'm sorry! I'm actually in Baltimore, Maryland right now - and it's only just clicked over into Monday morning where I am. It's not that I forgot about y'all or anything, more that I had a date with a boat and a fishing rod - and time just got away from me!
This week - of course - it's still all about BlizzCon, as if you needed to ask.

This week, obviously, BlizzCon is dominating the list, with news about StarCraft II, Diablo 3 and even the Glider lawsuit making the cut. If you've been as busy as I have over the past week - take a look and check out what you might have missed!

This week, our most exciting stories involved the Spore/StarCraft mashup of SporeCraft, some new images for Duke Nukem Forever, and a story all about a clever games heist in the UK. There's a couple of reviews that have snuck in, too - they're well worth a read if you haven't already!

This week, you're still reading about Diablo 3 and the DRM in Crysis Warhead, but you also wanted to know more about why Silent Hill: Homecoming was Refused Classification in Australia. On a much lighter note, we looked at some folks in Korea with too much time on their hands, creating SporeCraft, explored how Warhammer Online is dealing with gold spammers, and many of you rejoiced that Jack Thompson has been disbarred. Finally.

The most popular story last week concerned the edited version of Fallout 3, which was granted an MA15+ rating, and release in Australia after the original was Refused Classification due in part to in-game drug use (later, we revealed some details of the edited version). You also wanted to know more about the religious (and anti-religious) arguments popping up about Spore, the system specs for Far Cry 2, the details about nVidia releasing new tech demos to accompany their revelation that 8 series cards are now capable of PhysX functionality, and some information about the impending Heavy Update for Team Fortress 2.

The big stories were about DirectX 11, a new game called Damnation... and UgLyPuNk's rant about the level of professionalism displayed in Australian games journalism these days.

This week, unsurprisingly, things got a bit political with the announcements surrounding Fallout 3. You also wanted to know about Jade Raymond's new project, and the new titles from Call of Duty and Tom Clancy. Rounding out the top six is the Warp Pipe's list of third-quarter games to look out for (and some that you can skip).

While this week's wrap up does look fairly similar to last week's, it's worth noting that - generally - the weekends are a pretty slow time for news, so we include a bit of overlap when calculating the digest. Most of the time, this just gives the slightly older posts a bit of a boost, nothing to worry about. This week, however, we're seeing several stories making a repeat appearance - just in case you missed them the first time 'round!

If all that learning seems a bit much, why not enter our latest competition? To celebrate the launch of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, we have some fancy DS skins and an Xbox 360 faceplate for you to bling out your gaming machine. Check out the details and enter!

A happy Monday to you all, hope you're back at work or play bright and early, and all set to see what this week of exciting new things holds for you!

It seems last week, you were interested in politics, a new patch for an old(er) game, and the sneaky evolving bits of information we're being given by Will Wright.

The stories that are the most popular often surprise me. Just when I think I've got you all figured out, you'll throw a curveball and show that, while you like games, you really like technology - and some of you quite like science and politics as well. There seems to be no pattern, no magic formula - two stories on the same topic in different weeks can get very different results. It's fascinating.

This week we get a few more titles thrown into the mix, no longer dominated by one or two major players. Instead, we get information on indie games (as in "independent"), Indy games (as in Indiana Jones), games about movies, movies about games, a mech battle, a metal battle and a medieval battle, and our usual handful of regular features.

Every week, I'm surprised by what's made it to the top of the lists. It can be about hardware, software, or something so seemingly small as a game update. Sometimes, it's the biggest news about the latest game to hit the shelves. Others, it's information about something that's about to arrive, and is building up last-minute hype. This week? It's some vague details about a game that may not even really exist.

This week's digest is proudly brought to you by Grand Theft Auto IV - you didn't think it'd escape without controversy now, did you?
Over the past week, we've had edits revealed, rumours started, rumours squashed, new trailers, and even a retrospective in the Warp Pipe. We've spoken to people from Rockstar, Customs, and various gaming websites, to try and find out what's going on. And - really - we still don't know. Good thing the game's coming out in eight days, eh!
In the meantime, here are the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe. Not all of it's about GTA4, trust me.

The eagle-eyed among you will notice something a bit odd about this week's Digest. There are three different versions of the Australian Weekly Video Game Charts included. We'd slipped a bit behind in our coverage, and took last week to catch up. It seems people are very interested in knowing what games are selling these days, and so three different weeks of updates have made it into the most-read posts.
Don't worry, posting those three in rapid succession has brought us up to date, and now we're all set for another set of charts, due to arrive later this week.

I dug out a bunch of old records over the weekend and have been listening to music that's older than I am. I don't mind living in the past, but some of you prefer things a little fresher, a bit more "new release", and a tad more cutting edge.

So - a day late - here are the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe, just to get you all caught up.

Here are the most popular stories that we published over the past seven days, plus a lineup of the most downloaded files added in the same timeframe.
