It\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
