This couldn't be easier guys - if you like the Company of Heroes page on Facebook they'll let you access an app that gives you a Steam key for the Company Of Heroes 2 beta.

I still don't know why you lot didn't agree that Dishonored deserved Game of the Year last year, but I don't think I'll ever get over it. Anyway, The Knife of Dunwall for the greatest game of 2012 is now available on Steam and Xbox 360 - and will be available on PlayStation 3 late this evening or tomorrow!

And in a staggeringly remarkable move for Bethesda, it only costs $9.95 on Steam instead of $15.95. $6 may not seem like a lot of savings, but coming from a company who still charges $80 for the base game and $60 for the year and a half old Skyrim, it's pretty surprising. I'm sure it was a mistake though, and they'll jack the price up by an arbitrary amount when they remember. So buy it now!

The Knife of Dunwall follows Daud and shows a different perspective of the events of the main game. You can watch the gameplay trailer for Dishonored's second DLC embedded below or in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. Are you buying The Knife of Dunwall? Have you bought it already? Let us know in the comments below!

We first talked about Big Robot's Sir, You Are Being Hunted just over a year ago when it was first announced. With gameplay primarily focused on exploration and hiding, Sir, You Are Being Hunted has you on the run from terrifying robots wearing top hats and smoking pipes as they hunt you for sport.




And today our days of running from tweed wearing robots draw ever closer, as Big Robot have opened Sir, You Are Being Hunted to pre-orders! Operating through the Humble Store, $20 will secure you a copy of the game on PC, Mac and Linux upon release, along with access to beta testing - expected to kick off sometime in Winter.

And in other pre-order news this week, Terraria developer Tiyuri's new, awesome looking game Starbound is available for purchase, with an order of $15 getting you a copy of the game on Steam, a copy of the soundtrack and beta access expected sometime this year.

For those wondering what Starbound will entail, think Terarria, but bigger. Much bigger. With endless planets to visit, story missions, side quests and sweet, sweet 2D survival and building style action. Heck yes. Have you pre-ordered Sir, You Are Being Hunted or Starbound, or are you planning to? Let us know in the comments below!

Who am I? Generally good natured, I seem a little naive, but I'm very friendly - up to a point. If you get on my bad side, I will do whatever I can to get revenge, all with a creepy and malicious smile on my face. If you guessed either a) a psychopath or b) Mickey Mouse, you are correct. I have never understood why anyone likes Mickey Mouse. And yet, I loved Castle of Illusion.

Even with Mickey Mouse's insufferable blend of arrogance, malevolence and gee shucks good nature, it's difficult not to enjoy one of the Sega Mega Drive's best platformers. So I am very pleased by the new announcement that Castle of Illusion would be revisited in a HD remake for the PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and PC this winter.

The remake is being developed by Sega Studios Australia - presumably once they finish closing up shop in August. Embedded below is the trailer for Castle of Illusion, which you can also watch in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course. Were you a fan of the original Castle of Illusion? Are you looking forward to the remake? Let us know in the comments below!

Holy heck everyone, I am sick. Like really sick. But enough about me, because I have confirmed with both JB Hifi and EB Games that Injustice: Gods Among Us broke street date today - two days before its expected release date of Wednesday the 17th. If you aren't familiar with Injustice, it mashes Mortal Kombat's fighting with the DC Universe in a combination guaranteed to be more popular than the not-particularly-good Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe of 2008.

Injustice is a fighting game in which you play as one of the many excellent characters from the DC Universe, including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Joker and, like, twenty others. In a story outlined in a series of comics (which you can buy digitally through Comixology) Superman loses it after a visit from The Joker and the entire pantheon of super characters form alliances and start punching faces. It sounds like every fighting game story in history, but it's actually got a few surprises in store.

Embedded below is the launch trailer for Injustice, which features a good deal of the aforementioned facepunching and can also be checked out in our videos library - going full screen for HD of course! Are you going to grab Injustice, or are you going to wait for Joaby's upcoming review? Let us know in the comments below!

There has been a good deal of speculation about Microsoft's next console - the so called 'Xbox Entertainment 720'. Lately the rumours have focused on the internet connection - like an MMO or Diablo 3, the console is thought to be 'always on' - requiring a constant connection to the internet. Naturally, Microsoft will neither confirm or deny those rumours, but recently one Creative Director - Adam Orth - spoke on Twitter about constant internet connections - causing a good deal of outrage.




Now it seems that outrage did what outrage does best, as Game Informer today noted that, according to sources, Adam Orth no longer works for Microsoft.
