Counter-Strike: Global Offensive was a pleasant surprise announced by Valve in August. But even more surprising is that developers will bring Counter Strike to both PC and consoles. To top it off, PC, Macs and PS3 will get cross-platform multiplayer. Sounds ambitious? First of all, the queue for CS:GO at Eurogamer Expo  was enormous. This was the first showing of the demo in Europe, the staff ... more.

The first day of Eurogamer 2011 saw the launch of OnLive gaming service in the UK. The service has been available in the US for a year now, and it has been causing quite a stir. Imagine any computer, TV or even tablet instantly running top games at best visual settings. Sounds unbelievable? We saw it, and it works. Eight years in the making, OnLive was made open to American public in June 2010.... more.

Not a great game, but you will occasionally have fun. I was waiting anxiously for Space Marine. I gave in to the hype, to the advertising, to the epic trailers, screenshots and a life-size Utramarine walking around Gamescom. I always liked the WH40K universe, with its distinct art style and technology design, but you would never find me playing the real tabletop thing. Figurines and heavy tome... more.

Epic slo-mo has taken over this final pre-release trailer of Formula One 2011. The video is set to music composed by John Sponsler and Tom Gire, the people who wrote the additional score for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.  Heroic stuff. Now try to watch the trailer and not think about transformers. F1 2011 is being developed by Codemasters for all major platforms (except for Wii). The... more.

This summer at E3 we were told that ex-Japanese horror Silent Hill: Downpour will feature a main theme by the nu-metal band Korn. Last week at Tokyo Game Show, the song was released together with a trailer. You can appreciate both below. Interestingly, Korn has produced a theme for a game before. In 2008, the PS3-exclusive shooter Haze was promoted with a song by the same name. The game receive... more.

Japanese developers at Grasshopper Manufacture are responsible for some of the craziest games to ever hit mainstream. Killer7 and No More Heroes were completely messed-up, and the upcoming Lollipop Chainsaw will no doubt continue the tradition.

As if that wasn't enough, on the same day EA will release an expansion for the game titled Mark of the Assassin. DA:R will follow Dalish assassin Tallis as she hunts for a runaway sorcerer. The mini-series will be aired as 6 episodes, all available to download before the end of th... more.

You have two more days to download Valve's mind-blowing puzzle for free. The generous offer is a part of  "Learn With Portals" programme. Now, apparently Portal can be used in schools to help study science, mathematics and engineering. How does that work? Honestly, I have no idea. Portal and its sequel are works of genius, a vision straight from the future. Videogame industry spent a long time... more.
