- Red Faction III was confirmed during THQ's latest investors call. Exactly one year after CEO Brian Farrell practically said the same thing. Only this time, we know with relative certainty that it's developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. By Volition, duh.

- Steam reaches 15 million accounts. For some odd reason, players keep making new accounts after getting their asses banned, or forget their password. Or username.

- Activision confirmed various sequels for their top franchises, from Call of Duty, to Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk, Spider-Man, Bond and other kiddie games. Or we could've just said "Activision confirms Call of Duty 5", since we don't give a crap about any of the others.

- The Club demo is out of for the PC. So is the full game, but only on the PS3 and Xbox 360 momentarily. Good luck clearing 2 GB for the demo!

- "We at EA blew it" (with Bullfrog, Origin and Westwood). No, you didn't blow it. You fucked it up. You fucked it up!

- Okami Wii is completely playable by now, but Capcom is still not giving a firm release date. March? Maybe. By the way, this game should've been made for the Wii from head start.

- StarCraft II and WoW: Wrath of the Lich King also playable, if you can hold your breath until the end of June, and find your way inside Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational event from Paris.
While we were busy putting the finishing touches on this shiny new website, some folks from Blizzard were having a laugh over in Los Angeles at the D.I.C.E. Summit, reminiscing various stories and their past failures. Fortunately, we'll never know just how bad those failed games were, since they were cancelled long before they could reach us. But we did find out what games exactly they cancelled - some of which 99.9% of humanity had no idea even existed at all, prior to seeing this list.
- Games People Play
- Crixa
- Shattered Nations
- Pax Imperia
- Denizen
- Warcraft Adventures
- Nomad
- Raiko

The most dubious absence from that list is of course StarCraft: Ghost, which was clearly left out on purpose. So, in other words, it's still not dead and burried. Yep, Blizzard is "still in denial about that one”. Jeez, wake up and smell the fucking napalm already!

Another absence spotted by Blizzplanet is Diablo II: Salvation, a brand which Blizzard abandoned back in 2005. And finally, that same story points to Gamespot's "lengthy article covering the D.I.C.E. event with quotes from Mike Morhaime and a few screenshots"... Umm, screenshots?! This may come as a shock to whoever wrote that story, but those are actually photos of something called real-life. You know, that thing we all have to face once in while, when we're out of booze and need to run down to the store. Speaking of which, brb.
