It’s been a busy week for us here at MyGaming. Highlights news wise include word of a new Command & Conquer game in the works, a local distributor switch for Codemasters, and continued developments in the court case between hacker GeoHot and Sony. We were kept busy with Dragon Age 2 and Total War: Shogun 2 demos, and government announced that it is going to start taxing PC monitors the same as TVs, which means we should see a price increase.
We also got to chat to Gearbox founder Randy Pitchford about Duke Nukem forever, as well as the Magicka developers, and not to forget, creators of local indie hit Desktop Dungeons.
