Here.

You're playing Clear Sky right ?
I don't know what this patch does.
Nobody knows.

Open E3

Kotaku's spies caught the last industry rumor: Open E3, which means the event will be open also to regular people, not gaming-industry only.

ESA's board (Entertainment Software Association) is discussing this possibility as we speak.

As you know, the E3 was, until now, open only to people from the industry. The idea to open the event to the large public could save E3 from disparition.

Starcraft 2 delayed to 2009 ?

Looks like 2009 will be the year of Starcraft 2.

Durind the Activate Asia Pacific event, Philip Earl (Activision Blizzard Managing Director) told StarCraftWire.net that their next year's offerings should include StarCraft II.

So, as we reported a month ago, our chances to celebrate Christmas by a zerg rush are becoming smaller and smaller.

StarCraft 2 Fourth Race comes with the expansion

moSSad

According to Videogaming247 and Blizzard's Frank Pearce, there is the possibility to have a fourth race in StarCraft 2.
This race will come to a PC near you along with the expansion, which between me and you, will definitely come some time in 2009 because it's stupid to have a cow like StarCraft 2 and not to milk it more often.

Gears of War 2 PC is going bye-bye

moSSad

In this interview, Cliffy B tells us that the PC version of Gears of War 2 is going bye-bye. Because.

^{"Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and
therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've
decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around."}

Could it be just a marketing gimmick or Epic really dismissed the platform that made them famous? I think it's the first.
