With rumours, fake images and wild speculation about anything Valve at E3 are running rampant at the moment, VG247 has received a tip that Valve's E3 2010 'surprise' will be the unveiling of Source Engine 2.



The source, who wished to remain anonymous, said it’s possible Valve will also be showing Half-Life 3 running on the new tech. Seems unlikely to me, but you never know with Valve.

Full story here

EDIT: Seems it's all a load of bull dish. Valve's 'surprise' will in fact be "PORTAL 2 THEMED FOR GOD'S SAKE"

Epic's/PCF's serously OTT title, Bulletstorm gets the trailer treatment.



Coming to PC, PS3 and X360 in 2011.

Hit the big red button. Hurry though, as the offer expires on 24th May.



Portal used to cost money. Until May 24th, it's free. End of story. Well, technically speaking, there are some strings attached. Fortunately, they're entirely decorative. We just like the way they look, swaying in the gentle breeze created by a million people simultanously fainting from shock at the news that Portal is free. Now you have no reason not to try Portal.

"I have a reason," some of you are probably typing into an angry email. "You see, sir, I own a Mac."

Well guess what: For the first time ever, Portal is also available for the Mac.

"Capital news! But the excellent puzzle adventure Portal won over 40 Game of the Year awards; Surely it must cost at least five or six hundred dollars."

You'd think that, especially since it actually won over 70 Game of the Year Awards. But, like we keep saying, Portal is free. Free on the Mac. Free on the PC. But only until May 24th. So you only have a few days to decide if your free copy of Portal is worth the price we're currently charging.

Now this is some crazy, crazy shit



I already have the funky Ice Cream van and Monster Truck. Can't wait for the parachute thrusters and the Tuk Tuk Boom Boom

Suit up once more as Isaac Clarke. Bad ass Necromorph pwner.

Vodka.....

Gametrailers reviews the delighfully slick looking Super Street Fighter IV. Quite an upgrade for Capcom, considering they're the king of milking the SF franchise.



Give it another year and we'll have Super Street Fighter IV Turbo Ultra Awsum Giggidy Edition to look forward to.

City Interactive's Sniper: Ghost Warrior shows us how to pwn glowing soldiers with a rather spiffy looking Max Payne-esque slo-mo bullet cam jobbie thing.



Looking pretty cool. Although it's all been done before, right?

Hubba hubba. I love me some juicy Dee El Cee JC2 is seeing significant portion of it next week. See here:

F-33 DragonFly Jet Fighter
Try out the new F-33 Dragonfly fighter jet. With quad-mounted miniguns and double missile launchers, this agile bird is the definite ruler of the skies, and packs a serious punch to land based targets as well.

Dual Parachute Thrusters
Take to the air for longer! The Dual Parachute Thrusters when mounted to the parachute rig provides bursts of forward momentum to extend airtime.

Multi-lock Missile Launcher
This highly sophisticated weapon of destruction allows you to lock up to four targets and unleash a barrage of homing missiles to take care of all your troubles.

Pricing will set you Xboxers back 160MS points (roughly just over a quid) and I assume Steamers will pay around the same price. Cheap for all hours of fun you'll get out of the pack.

The dual parachute thrusters sound awesome. Can't wait

The good ol' Valve boys have finally announced that Left 4 Dead 2's first DLC has been slated for release this Thursday. Read on:



April 20, 2010 - Valve, creators of best-selling game franchises (such as Half-Life, Portal, Team Fortress, and Counter-Strike) and leading technologies (such as Steam and Source), today announced the first game add-on for its co-operative zombie thriller, Left 4 Dead 2 The Passing, is due for release Thursday, April 22 exclusively for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system and the PC.

The first game add-on for Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) brings the original Left 4 Dead (L4D1) Survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay for the PC and Xbox 360.

The Passing also introduces a series of weekly game mode events dubbed "Mutations." These week-long runs of new gameplay modes range from "Realism Versus" mode to "Chainsaw Massacre," which gives all players chainsaws with an unlimited supply of gasoline. There are over 20 Mutations planned, each playable on all L4D2 Campaigns. Mutations are exclusively available to owners of "The Passing" DLC.

In addition, "The Passing" offers a new co-operative challenge mode of play, support for infected bot play in Versus, a new "uncommon common" zombie class (the fallen survivor), melee weapon (golf club), and firearm (M-60).

Available for 560 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and free on the PC, "The Passing" takes place just after the Dead Center campaign of L4D2. Set in a small town in rural Georgia, players assume the role of the L4D2 Survivors as they meet with the L4D1 characters.

Exclusively available for Xbox 360 and the PC, L4D2 sets a new benchmark for co-operative action games. The title adds melee combat to enable deeper co-operative gameplay, with items such as a chainsaws, frying pans, axes, baseball bats, and more.

With the AI Director 2.0, L4D's dynamic gameplay is taken to the next level by giving the Director the ability to procedurally change weather effects, world objects, and pathways in addition to tailoring the enemy population, effects, and sounds to match the players' performance. The result is a unique game session custom fitted to provide a satisfying and uniquely challenging experience each time the game is played.

Finally, with new Survivors, boss zombies, weapons, and items, Left 4 Dead 2 offers a much larger game than the original, featuring more co-operative campaigns, more Versus campaigns, new Survival maps, and the new competitive game mode, Scavenge.

Free on PC, as in Valve tradition. Looking forward to playing this puppy come Thursday
