Onslaught (a new cooperative mode for Bad Company 2) will be available for the PC. There is no release date yet but it is 100% sure that the coop mode will be available on PC as well.
Patrick Bach from DICE wants to support over 4 million of fans by releasing the new game mode.
The Onslaught is going to have 4 re-designed levels – very well known Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Inocentes and Nelson bay. So basically if it’s gonna be the same maps over again. But that’s better than nothing.
Every map will have different objectives and things like vehicular combat or simple shootouts.
Update:
It seems that this is not true!
The remakes of classic 2D games are getting really popular these days, Ubisoft announced that they will release yet another Rayman game but this time it will be in 2D with Full HD. hand drawn graphics (thanks to Ubi Art Framework). They’ve said that the game will be available pretty soon on PlayStation Network and XBoX Live but at the moment Ubisoft is considering other platform release such as Nintendo Wii, 3DS, iPad and finally the PC.
This is a perfect title for Steam, Impulse and other digital platforms and Ubisoft should release it along with other platforms.
Here’s a great trailer of Rayman Origins in Full HD:
Speaking of classic 2D remakes, another great episode of Monkey Island is about to be released on Steam, when you pre-order right now you will get the first episode totally free (too bad the publisher didn’t let people who already own the first one to use it as Steam gift…).
Fallout, King’s Quest, Bonk, and more. Download the best titles that companies gave away! Here’s a quote from Games Radar:
We like free stuff. That’s why we posted links to download and play 365 free games so you could have a decent game to play for every day of the year, free of charge. Unfortunately, GamesRadar has yet to wrestle the most formidable type of free games into submission so that they can be preserved in their proper list form for eternity. We’re talking about the free games that were good enough to sell, important enough to review, and memorable enough to warrant a second play through years later.
Luckily, we’ve somehow managed to sort through over a hundred previously-for-sale titles that you can now play for free, and synthesized our list down to just the essential games you’d still want to play. Most of them look dated, for sure, but whether you’re looking for some decent side-scrolling action, nostalgic hits from the golden age of adventure, classic titles of interest, or even MMORPGs, you’re bound to find something in the following pages.

Microsoft has announced that on December 15th, Games on Demand comes to Games for Windows Live, which means they are going to start digitally distributing PC games.
The Xbox 360 Games on Demand program has been doing well enough, and services like Stardock’s Impulse and Steam have already proven the viability of the digital download store model, so now we’re getting Games on Demand for Games for Windows Live.
"With Games on Demand, we didn’t just want to create a cut-and-paste version of existing digital distribution services," said Mike Ybarra, general manager of LIVE Engagement Services. "We challenged ourselves to deliver an integrated platform that takes full advantage of the unique capabilities offered by the LIVE service. Our goal has always been to create a seamless online gaming experience for the Windows community, and Games on Demand is a great step toward that end."
The main difference between Games on Demand and something like Steam is the use of Microsoft points to purchase games along with actual cash money, but it’s certainly a start. If they can keep prices competitive, they could be on to something.
Service’s launch lineup will include Resident Evil 5, Red Faction: Guerrilla, and Battlestations: Pacific, along with Live-enabled versions of popular downloadable titles like World of Goo and Osmos. If those aren’t enticing enough, there’s also a free Live-enabled version of Tinker, the Windows Vista Ultimate Extra exclusive for those willing to download the Games for Windows Live client when the service goes live on the 15th.
You can download the Games for Windows Live client at Microsoft’s official website.
