Here’s another mini-review! This time we decided to check out the latest modern shooter – Bad Company 2.

There’s a hope for Polish XboX Live and Games For Windows Live. As far as I know the creators of WWL are about to receive an official statement from Microsoft head quarters in USA.

Too bad Microsoft waited a month to do this… We will post more details here as soon as we know something.

UPDATE:

Here’s an official Microsoft statement about XboX Live sevice in Poland:

Xbox is very committed to the Polish market and is appreciative of the passion and excitement that our community of users show for our products, including Xbox LIVE. This year, 2010,  is going to be a historic year for Xbox and our aim is to bring to our Polish community of users the full and best interactive experiences possible on the Xbox 360. We currently finalizing our plans for the Polish market that we will become public at the forthcoming E3 consumer trade show, later in June.  Our Polish community of Xbox users should expect to hear more about how we will take the Xbox 360 experience to another level in Poland.

They didn’t even bother to sign the freaking letter (no one knows who wrote this, it just says Microsoft). I say fuck them and their legal games in Poland, just don’t buy new XboX 360 games if your country isn’t supported – like the upcoming Bad Company 2 (a 100% multiplayer game which has no…multiplayer).

I’ll get back to laughing now!

Pretty cool midweek madness on Steam:

There’s a pack of games for 9.99€ (2€ for each game if you don’t want the pack). Including: Gridrunner, Space Giraffe, Bullet Candy, Bob Came in Pieces, Altitude, Super Laser Racer, and Galcon Fusion!

That’s right, it’s less than a day for Microsoft to respond on the lack of XboX Live and Games For Windows Live in Poland (and the most of central, eastern European countries). I wonder if they’re going to send anything at all, at least an e-mail?

We’ll see!

PlayStation 3  users all over the planet (the regular version, not PS3 slim) can’t login to the PlayStation Network, use their DLCs or earn achievements (and play some single player games).

The famous 8001050F error sets up the date in the device to January 1st 2000. What does it mean? It will disable your console.

Sony did react to all of this on their Twitter account saying:

PSN status update: We’re narrowing down the issue and continue to work to restore service to all. Updates as soon as we have them.

And the latest:

Here’s the latest info on PlayStation Network’s status: http://bit.ly/cZQKpn

Does it sound familiar to you guys? It does to me, it’s just like Steam – when it’s down you can’t access any of that stuff and you can’t even play most of your games if you didn’t activate the offline mode at least once.

A very nice weekend sale on Games For Windows Live has just started, the first title is: Batman: Arkham Asylum for only $12.49 (75% off!)

More games coming on next weekends. More information can be found here.

Warning! Games For Windows Live is NOT supported in some countries.

Just a simple poll, do you like the new user interface beta? Got any suggestions for it? Leave a comment and if we’ll get enough of them maybe we could send over our ideas to Valve Software.

And here’s the poll:

Also check out this thread with a lot of good suggestions (official Steam forums).

And here’s an official support/bug report forum.

Some angry Steam user posted a very interesting message on the official Steam Forums. He wanted a refund for his pre-order of Aliens vs Predator game (for whatever reason, you can always refund a pre-order). But he bought the game with a discounted game Psychonauts ($2 at a time).

What’s wrong you may think? Well, according to Steam Support you can’t refund only one game if you put them both in the shopping cart. And now the guy had to “give back” (and get back the $2 of course) Psychonauts in order to get his money for AvP back.

After that he wanted a refund for his pre-ordered copy of  Battlefield Bad Company 2. I wonder why?

Whats’s our point? Watch out there kids, don’t get pre-orders with regular games!
