News Bytes: Microsoft Pegs PEGI
by Nick Breckon, Jul 20, 2007 5:54pm PDTSo many impressions of so many good games, and none of them are out right now. Video game stores have been a barren wasteland this summer. In what little game time I've had, I'm going back to stuff like StarCraft and Guitar Hero, while pretending that I'm playing StarCraft 2 and Rock Band. It doesn't really work, but hey, it's still fun. What are you guys playing lately? Today's bytes include a new deal between Microsoft and European content labelling company PEGI, notes on GDC Austin's preoccupation with MMOs, Dragon's Lair HD DVD details, and some information on a truly limited release of Growlanser: Heritage of War.

Next week i will play Combat Mission: Shock Force and the CoH OF beta. :)
Nice games just arent coming out, recently.
I did pick up DiRT recently, and it's fun and all, and pretty, but it doesn't capture my attention for more than a couple races a week.
Come November I'm hoping that this lack of new PC games will finally come to an end.
