The Witcher 2, Coming to a 360 Near You – Release date Confirmed
Warner Bros. has finally announced the official launch date for the Xbox 360 port of the highly anticipated CD Projekt Red sequel, The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. That’s right, it’ll be coming to an Xbox 360 near you on April 17th. Excited? You should be!
Originally announced last summer, the title was originally planned to launch on Xbox 360 in 2011, but had to be pushed back to early 2012 before Warner Bros. signed on to publish. I think it’s safe to say that we’ve waited long enough.
New Steam App Available on iOS and Android
Yesterday, Valve announced and launched Steam applications for both the iOS and Android platforms. The app, “Steam Mobile,” allows users to chat, read gaming news, browse groups and profiles as well as purchase games while on the go. Like many Valve products, the App is launching in limited beta, with only invitees currently able to log in. Snagging the App and attempting to sign in lets Valve know that you’re interested, and select users will then receive an invite should they be chosen.
Gabe Newell, company president and co-founder, stated that the app comes at the request of many fans; it will be Valve’s first step into the mobile space.
“Mobile is changing the way people interact, play games and consume media, and the Steam app is part of our commitment to meet customer demands and expand the service functionality of Steam to make it richer and more accessible for everyone,” Newell said.
There has been no news as to whether this could translate as to purchasing iOS/Android games through Steam further down the line but it isn’t a likely move.

LEGO Minecraft to become an even Blockier Reality
Due to mass fan request, LEGO Minecraft is to begin development sometime in the near future. The movement to convert the virtual blocks of Minecraft into the plastic blocks of the LEGO world was first brought about by Mojang back in December.
The developers urged its fan base to sign a petition on the LEGO Cuusoo website and it has clearly worked. The way in which that system works is that if an idea or project receives 10,000 supporters then it would become subject to official approval and, when you think about it, it really does make sense.
A post went live today on the Cuuso website, which broke the news:
“We’re happy to announce that the Minecraft project on LEGO CUUSOO has passed the LEGO review and we are now developing a concept that celebrates the best aspects of building with the LEGO system and in Minecraft.”
However, the post also warned eager fans that this wasn’t something that would happen overnight.
“We can’t wait to show it to you—but it isn’t ready just yet. These things take time, so we appreciate your patience.”
