Evening Reading
by Brian Leahy, Jan 03, 2011 5:00pm PSTOh boy! It's 2011 and it's time for gaming to ramp up again before the summer slump. There are a lot of great games coming out early this year and I'm definitely looking forward to LittleBigPlanet 2, Dead Space 2, and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. And that's just in the coming weeks!
Also, the first league of the 2011 GSL StarCraft II season has started with games already in the books and available as VODs. Access will cost you $10 with ads or $20 without.

"I think it's fair to say that Valve never approaches a product release the same way twice," Valve marketing director Doug Lombardi told Issue 100 of Xbox World 360 magazine.
"With Half-Life 2 we took six years to create an epic sequel, then we immediately shifted to episodic releases, which were then followed by the release of a new IP (Left 4 Dead) which was given a sequel in less than a year.
"Now, with Portal 2, we've taken a couple of years to produce a full sequel to a game that was launched in episodic size. The point is not that we're schizophrenic, but that we try to productise every game in a way that's best for [it], given market conditions and other factors."
