Im not sure what's happening on steam, but it looks like I have 5 more copies of DOTA2 to give away. If you want a copy, please let me know your steam name. This is the second time I have been given 5 extra copies. Crazy eh?



I guess they like me? lol

For anyone who missed the big news post, Microsoft will reveal their new Xbox on May 21 (in Washington, USA). Not much else is known about the new console, Microsoft have been very secret about it.

On May 21 we should know a lot more about the new system, how much it will need an online connection, what the new hardware like (we know its based on x86), what new features have been added etc.

A quick look around on the net and I think the event should be broadcast around 1pm EST. That is around 5pm GMT or 6pm BST (British summer time).

I bet to many, its no surprise that EA have won an award for being the 'Worst company'. However this isnt the first year, but the second time (in a row) that EA have been voted the Worst company in a poll ran by consumerist.

EA COO Peter Moore commented on the poll, saying:



EA won the poll with nearly 78% of the votes, second to the Bank of America.

I do feel EA games arent the best; often forcing people to buy extra content to fix the game, countless DLC's, or releasing games that are half finished. However its not the only bad thing EA do, often they take-over small independent companies, to force them out of business.

Take the C&C community, once ran by Westwood each release was great, from the first C&C (Tiberium Dawn) right upto Red Alert 2. However EA acquired the franchise and it was never the same. C&C games have kind-off fell off the radar together after failure of C&C4, due to EA taking over.

I do hope egosoft dont fall to EA as well...
