Besides, it’s now in your best interest to go ahead and go for it. Not only has a pass to play Minecraft for a while been added, you can now get Steel Storm (Windows, Mac, Linux) as well!

It gets even better than that. Anyone who pays more than the average price of the bundle…

You’re in serious trouble. It’s the absolute last second and you still have a handful of people to shop for. But there’s always hope. Rather than running out to some store and battling the crowds today (December 23, 2010) or, even worse, on Christmas Eve, you can fall back on a nice downloadable game. It’s quick, it’s easy and in most cases, the online game store will automatically deliver your gift to whoever it is supposed to go to.

So here’s a brief list of downloadable DSi, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, PS3, PSP, Windows, Mac, Linux, Wii and Xbox 360 games you can get and send for friends. In many cases, it’s as easy as firing up your computer or system, going through a few listings and then entering the recipient’s email address or username…

The Humble Indie Bundle 2 was a great deal right at the start. Five fantastic indie games for whatever you want to pay and you get to choose which charities and developers get your money. But today (December 22, 2010), the Humble Indie Bundle 2 got even better. To celebrate the over 180,000 sales of the Humble Indie Bundle 2, the original Humble Indie Bundle has been added to the deal…

Yesterday (December 14, 2010) we told you about The Humble Indie Bundle 2. The Humble Indie Bundle 2 is comprised of five indie games that will be on sale for the next six days. The Humble Indie Bundle 2 is unique in that is lets buyers choose what they want to pay for the bundle. They can also decide how to distribute their payment. The decision on whether to donate all the money to developers, charities or both is totally customizable. The bundle has proved to be a big success. In less than a day, the bundle has made over $400,000.

The Humble Indie Bundle 2 is possibly the best videogame deal you’ll see all day. The Humble Indie Bundle 2 is a collection of five games that are being sold to support charity or the game’s developers. Best of all, you pay whatever you want for the Humble Indie Bundle 2. If you want to give $100, you can. Alternatively, you can give $0.05 and make off like a bandit.

This Valentine’s Day, let us remember the stories of a few modern videogame characters who have loved and lost. Their stories run the gamut from mutual love to borderline restraining order tactics.Take a moment if you will and read our short list of three videogame characters ruined by love.

Videogame developer and publisher MumboJumbo will be responsible for Braid‘s release in stores. It hopes to expand Braid‘s audience to those who may not have the ability to purchase games digitally.

Next week’s PlayStation Store update is going to feature the critically acclaimed Braid among its many new downloads. Jonathan Blow’s thought-provoking, beautiful and time-controlling action game is finally going to make its debut November 12, 2009. It’s going to cost you $14.99 if you decide to pick it up, which is what the XBox 360 version cost when it debuted back in 2008. While Number None handled the Xbox Live Arcade and Windows versions, Hothead Games was tasked with the Mac and PS3 ports.

Braid is a rather unique platformer. The star, Tim, is journeying through multiple environments and worlds in an attempt to save a princess. Players aren’t given many details of the storyline, and only know that Tim has to reach the princess and make up for a mistake he had made…

According to Joystiq, Stardock (publishers of Sins of a Solar Empire) has announced that a PC version of last summer’s breakout Xbox Live Arcade puzzle game, Braid, is set to be released via digital distribution over Stardock’s Impulse service on March 31, 2009, for $14.95.

Last year, the $15 price sent waves of anger throughout the XBLA community which considered the price to be far too high for the platformer. Both on his blog and in interviews, developer Jonathan Blow defended the seemingly high price stating…

Well, 2008 is over now, and we can officially make judgments from our 20/20 hindsight.

One of the biggest (baddest?) buzzwords of the year was innovation. Game critics debated the merits of innovation – specifically, whether developers deserve credit for delivering truly new experiences, even if they contain flaws. Developers and publishers touted innovation and new IPs as the greatest new thing, and the best thing for the industry (especially if their game happened to fit into that category). And perhaps most important of all, gamers themselves discussed innovative game design, trying to decide if we’d rather have new (and maybe rough around the edges) or the familiar (and maybe polished and near-perfected).
