Weekend gaming news roundup

16 February 2013

The week consisting of Valentine’s day brought MyGaming to the conclusion that we needed to acknowledge the greatest romances in gaming, appreciate the heroines of 2013 and look at who has the cheapest PC games in SA.

But it wasn’t all love, as Aliens: Colonial Marines emerged to be tragically underwhelming, with a lot of questions raised about Gearbox’s involvement in the game.
