Then, people managed to get a rough draft of the script from that leaked demo. found here
Now, there’s another leak. It just so happens that The Art of the Mass Effect Universe artbook, which wasn’t due out until February 21, 2012, has landed in some fans’ hands and sensitive images have been scanned and uploaded online.

In co-op mode, each player will assume the persona of a Colonial Marine and have a distinct role to play in the completion of every mission. Additionally, more multiplayer modes will be revealed later in the year that will complete the Aliens video game experience.
Serious Sam 3 ..4 Player Split Screen on pc !

justforkicks
For some reason a lot of developers don't realize how many people actually want to play split screen on a PC.
Every time we see a big PC release we have dozens of users clamoring for split-screen play. Serious Sam 3: BFE will be bucking the trend and including split-screen play on a PC game. Some claim it might be a play to get more money out of gamers by not including the feature - and it appears that the fake CFO of the game's developer, Devolver Digital, might just agree.
“These Serious Sam nerds need to get a job and pay for their own copy of Serious Sam 3: BFE. We’re losing a ton of cash on this little split screen feature,” added Devolver CFO Fork Parker. “By the way, do they make split screen adult films? Watching four at once would save me a lot of time in the shower. F*ck, don’t print that.”
Serious Sam 3: BFE will support up to four players on a single copy by using a combination of the mouse and keyboard as well as gamepads. Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, Survival, Beast Hunt, and Co-Op are all supported.Bravo Devolver Digital...bravo.
Global Agenda patch 1.44 to add new maps and “cosmetic flair”
14:45
justforkicks
A new Global Agenda update is set to arrive later today, adding new maps and a couple of new stores, one selling jetpacks, and another selling “cosmetic flair.”
The two new maps, Magmarock and Haulin’ Acid have been promoted from beta status to be played in PvP mode. Magmarock is a control map that will be added to the Mercenaries PvP queue, while Haulin’ Acid provides another payload arena.
The new jetpack store can be found in Dome City. Ironically, you have to use a Dome City jetpack to reach the jetpack store on the upper levels of the hub. The store will also sell custom jetpack trails.
The new fashion store, Burning Fashions, will replace Carter’s Seasonal Accessories, and provide more buy-able cyborg bling to pimp out your warrior. You’ll find the full patch notes below.
Dome City Changes:
- Carter’s Seasonal Accessories has closed up shop.
- Burning Fashion has arrived in Dome City and will be selling cosmetic flair where Carter’s used to be.
- The long awaited Skyward Jetpacks has finally landed at the upper deck of Dome City and is open for business. In addition to selling jetpacks available elsewhere in the game, Skyward also sells high-end jetpack trail effects. You must be a boosted customer with a jetpack in Dome City in order to reach the upper deck of Dome City where Skyward resides.
- Adjusted the position of the guard at the South gate to the Sonoran Desert to be less confusing to players attempting to exit the dome.
- Uncommon quality Repair Kits can now be purchased from Yuma Imports at New Yuma Station
- Fixed some issues with materials that appeared to flicker when using Direct X 10 on some clients
- Frenzy wave should now properly award buff points for hitting allies
- Finalized netcode update (initially deployed on 6/23). Significant changes to net code that improve communication between the Atlanta data center and the games` other data centers. This should reduce occurrences of the “stuck on floor” issue for EU and NA West users, as well as provide some other benefits while entering and leaving matches.
- New PvP Control map “Magmarock” has been promoted from Beta and added permanently to the Mercenary PvP Queue.
- New PvP Payload map “Haulin’ Acid” has been added to the Beta Maps Queue.
Battlefield 3's two player co-op campaign

Battlefield 3's online two-player co-op mode will include 10 maps, DICE has confirmed.DICE executive producer Patrick Bach revealed that Battlefield 3's co-op mode will be separate to its single-player campaign.
Bach also said that Battlefield 3's mix of vehicles, shooting, and destructible environments make it a game "everyone claims they want".
"Something I hear a lot from people who haven't actually played Battlefield is that they'd love a modern day, first-person shooter with everything you have in other games, but with vehicles and proper destruction."
"They say, 'that would be awesome!' In other words, this is the game everyone claims they want," says Bach.
Battlefield 3 is released for 360, PS3, and PC on October 28.
Wii U: all the latest details (updated)
11:55
justforkicks
Here is a video of T3's first impressions:
Wii U UK release date
The Nintendo Wii U UK release date is pencilled in for April 2012.
Wii U UK price
Pricing is yet to be announced. But the fear is that, with the new controller, it may be a little too high.
Wii U is a Full HD, 1080p console
The new console will be fully HD compatible unlike its predecessor.
EA boss John Riccitiello says that Wii U is "stunning breakthrough" which "speaks directly to EA sports games" and boasts "brilliant HD graphics."
"Imagine a shooter like Battlefield with jaw-dropping graphics and smooth animations from the Frostbite engine, brought to you on a Nintendo system with that brilliant controller… We can't wait to see EA games on this new system."
Wii U has a touchscreen controller
The controller for the Wii U is, as was rumoured a 6.2-inch touchscreen tablet that also features an accelerometer and gyroscope for motion control, dual analogue sticks, rumble feedback, a D-pad, a front-facing camera, triggers and shoulder buttons, start/select/home buttons and a microphone.
Each Wii U console will come with a new controller and can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers. The system is also backward compatible and can play all Wii games and use all Wii accessories.
Can Nintendo disrupt the market – just as they did with the original Wii controller - yet again?
Wii U processor
According to IBM, Nintendo's Wii U is powered by a custom 45nm multi-core Power processor with embedded DRAM.
Says the company: "IBM's embedded dynamic random access memory will help deliver a thrilling new game experience to Nintendo fans. The new memory technology, a key element of the new Power microprocessor that IBM is building for the Nintendo Wii U console, can triple the amount of memory contained on a single chip, making for extreme game play."
Wii U graphics
Wii U's graphics carry on the ATI heritage of the Wii, with a custom AMD Radeon HD GPU reports Kotaku.
Wii U specifications and connectivity
It appears the original Wii's Gamecube controller compatibility will be binned. while there will be four USB 2.0 ports under that hatch/at the rear and there will still be an SD card slot. There will also be some internal storage, though you'll be able to boost that by plugging in an external drive. And, as befits an HD console, there will be HDMI on board in addition to S-Video and component. Also expect 802.11n Wi-Fi.
Wii U disc format
We know Wii U will be backwards compatible with all past Wii games, but we don't know if there will be any upscaling - or indeed whether the unit will boast a Blu-ray or DVD drive.
You can play games solely on the Wii U touchscreen controller
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata agrees that the first Wii U demo video "may have answered some questions, but it probably raised several others, too.
But the key concept is clear – Nintendo hopes that you will be able to transfer the game you are playing on a TV screen in your home to the local screen, should you wish to play alone in your bedroom or study - perhaps if someone else needs the TV.
"Up until now, home console games had to occupy the TV screen in order to be played. But, the new controller for Wii U with 6.2-inch screen means you won't need to give up your gameplay when someone else comes in the room and wants to watch a TV program."
Demos show that you can move your game from the TV to the screen in your hand almost immediately.
Games can also make use of both screens - there's an ace video of this in action where a girl is using the controller as the tee in a golf game while using a standard Wiimote to actually swing - it's at 3m30s.
So in single-player games the new controller can display information on its screen that does not appear on the TV, while the information and viewpoint can also change in the new controller based on the orientation of its gyroscope.
In multiplayer games the player using the new controller can have a different experience than those looking at the TV.
Wii U does video calling and more
It also looks like you will be able to make video-calls on the Wii U control pad, using its front-facing camera. Plus, you will be able to share your content such as your holiday pictures and home videos from your local controller to the main television with ease.
Wii U is fully backwards compatible with kit and games
Wii U is fully backwards compatible, which means that you can play all of your current Wii games on the system and use your Wii Fit or any other accessories you currently use with it.
But Wii U's controller is not a standalone handheld console
The controller needs to be tethered to the Wii U console to function - it isn't a PlayStation Vita competitor.
Wii U games will be plentiful
"Wii U was created so that the widest variety of games can be supported," says Nintendo. "That means those aimed at experienced controllers that can use circle controllers using both their hands, plus those games that can be intuitively played without the need for any buttons."
Games design guru Shigeru Miyamoto says of Nintendo's new home console: "More than anything I'm really looking forward to new styles of play... There are so many we're just trying to decide where to begin."
Nintendo announced new content based on its own franchises such as Mario and Zelda, but more interestingly,says Adam Hartley, "is that EA, Ubisoft, Sega and lots of other third party games developers were showing off new adult-themed, hardcore games that they are making for Nintendo's Wii U."
Graphically, many of the games look on par with new AAA-titles on PS3 or Xbox 360.
Hardcore favourites such as Tekken, Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham City and Ghost Recon Online were also demonstrated.
Clearly, Nintendo aims to push Wii U to the hardcore crowd as well as to the casual market it has so successfully won over with Wii.
Beautiful.
"EA boss John Riccitiello took to the Nintendo stage to tell the crowd that: 'Over the years I've made E3 appearances with several console partners, but never before with Nintendo.'"

You can play coop without the need of any of the annoying .cfg files if you just assign the controller to player 1 and let player 2 use the keyboard.
its pretty simple : connect your X360 controller and start the game. Make sure that controller is enabled from the options. Load a map (ss_map mp_coop_start), then, in console type:
sv_cheats 1
in_forceuser 1
what this does is force the keyboard input to player 2, but the controller input remains mapped to player 1 by default, and VOILA! u have a working multiplayer game!

1. Find an XBOX360 controller
2. Plug it in
3. Edit your 360controller.cfg file located in your \left4dead\cfg folder
Copy and paste the following and overwrite other information in your 360controller.cfg
Code:

5. Boot up the game
6. open console and type "Exec 360controller.cfg" without the quotations
7. Set your split screen mode to either Horizontal-Cut (ss_splitmode 1) or Vertical-Cut (ss_splitmode 2) through the console, vertical cut is meant for widescreen monitors and dual monitor setups while the horizontal for standard monitors
8. Open the console and enter ss_enable 1 once this is enabled you can simply start a single player game through the menu and splitscreen will already be enabled.
Alternatively, join an online game and enter "ss_connect" to add a splitscreen player and "ss_disconnect" to remove.
ATTENTION; IF SECOND PLAYER JOINS GAME AND DOES NOT AUTOMATICLY JOIN A TEAM USE THE COMMAND "cmd2 jointeam 2" FOR 2nd PLAYER TO JOIN SURVIVORS AND "cmd2 jointeam 3" FOR 2nd PLAYER TO JOIN INFECTED
9. HAVE THE CONTROLLER SET TO PLAYER 1, START A GAME AND AS SOON AS THE LOADING SCREEN APPEARS UNPLUG THE CONTROLLER, WAIT ONE OR TWO SECONDS AND PLUG IT BACK IN BEFORE THE GAME STARTS
10. PLAY CO-OP THE WAY ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED!
11. People with controllers other than Xbox 360 controllers will have to create their own controller configurations, simply edit the above CFG to match your controller. Lines that start with "cmd2 bind" are the controls you will need to set.
This is really fantastic VALVe is the last developer I would expect to make a splitscreen pc game and I am crying with joy that this is possible, note the fact that the game is running at 1680X1050 in those screenshots with a solid 60fps on both screens with max settings 4xaa on only an 8800gt.
Hope this helps those who want to play in splitscreen on their pc, hopefully a patch will come out that can make this process much simpiler.

If anyone was wondering, you can play split screen on a PC just like L4D1. All you need is a spare controller. If you don't know what a developer console is, this guide is probably not for you. Ask a friend for help or see another guide.
HINT FOR CONSOLE NEWBIES:
I've noticed a lot of people having trouble running exec or ss_map. It's usually just a typo. To save yourself a lot of time and trouble, try pushing the TAB key when you type. The Source engine has something called tab completion built into the console - it will try to fill in whatever you are typing or give you possible results as you type.
Working Controllers
- Wired 360 Controller
- PS3 Controller (MotionJoy Driver, 360 profile, requires two controllers)
- Wii Classic Controller (see post)
- PS2 Controller (see post)
- Some hints for a Logitech pad are in this post. You can also try emulation (see below).
- Other controllers can try using a 360 controller emulator, see this post or this post for help.

cmd2 +jlook- This is basically the joy_configuration.cfg file but with cmd2 in front of everything. Name your new file something appropriate like joy_coop.360.cfg and save in the "common/Portal 2/Portal2/cfg" folder. Feel free to customize the binds to whatever you like as long as you keep the cmd2 in front of any command or bind.
- NEW STEP! Click "Play Cooperative" and wait for it to load the friends list. This allows you to save your progress. Thanks Gander!
- Plug in the controller, and load a map with the following in your developer console:
Code:ss_map mp_coop_start
- IMPORTANT! While it is loading, unplug your controller, wait a few seconds, then replug it. This should switch the player light on the 360 pad to the second slot. Once you have the light on the player 2 slot you can leave the joypad in and it should stay on that slot (mine survives a hibernate even). If this doesn't work (you probably have a wireless 360 pad) you can try JoyID (note: JoyID doesn't work for me).
- Execute the config you just made in the developer console:
You should only need to do this once - the config should stick for player 2.Code:exec joy_coop.360.cfg
You should now be able to control the second slot with your 360 pad and the first should be whatever binds you had on the keyboard/mouse!
Tips and Tweaks

Change the cmd2 joystick 1 line in the config to cmd2 joystick 2Vertical Split for Two Monitors
Edit your aspect in the "common\Portal 2\portal2\splitscreen_config.txt" file. Here's another tutorial that will probably help you out.Changing FOV
The FOV settings for various split modes are also in the "common\Portal 2\portal2\splitscreen_config.txt" file.Switch to Vertical/Horizontal Split
Use ss_splitmode 0, ss_splitmode 1, or ss_splitmode 2 to select a different split mode.
