It’s been a busy week in the gaming world. The PSN grumbled back to life, albeit with some password reset issues. Two huge, long-awaited games finally launched – The Witcher 2 and L.A. Noire. L.A. Noire was subsequently accused of causing consoles to overheat, but its Rockstar denies everything. MyGaming went hands-on with Dungeon siege III. Modern Warfare 3 has begun to make itself known, and a batch of new Skyrim details came to light.<\/p>\n

Below we’ve gathered up a selection of the most interesting and awesome stories from the past week for your reading pleasure.<\/p>\n
