Below are the happening news in the world of Gaming for the week of 20 - 26 February 2012.

A new MOH is set for release this fall, after being rumoured to being announced a few weeks back.

The game is being developed by the 2010 Game's developer, Danger Close, and they will be using DICE's engine, FROSTBITE 2 to make the game, which means on PC it'll be a DX 10 and 11 game only.

This time though, DICE will not handle the multiplayer like they did for the 2010 game, and Danger Close will develop the multiplayer of the game in their own studios.

This game looks ready to take Call of Duty on for the holiday shooter, and is a game to keep an eye on.

Steam and Valve boss, Gabe Newell said that if they had to sell Hardware, they will.

In an extensive interview, he said :

"We have no reason to believe we're any good at it, it's more we think that we need to continue to have innovation and if the only way to get these kind of projects started is by us going and developing and selling the hardware directly then that's what we'll do."

I personally think that if Gabe were to sell Hardware in the near future, it'll be in some form of assembled computers, like Alienware. Though it is still to be seen, that is, If it ever happens.

The PC port of Alan Wake seemed to have a Love-Hate relationship with PC gamers, It was announced and then cancelled, and then it finally launched some days back.

But now that it has released on the PC, Remedy seem far than pleased. They have said :

“Alan Wake on the PC has been something both us and the fans have wanted since the original Alan Wake was released†says Aki Jarvilehto, executive VP at Remedy. “It’s been such a long journey and now that the game is finally out, it’s very emotional to see such a positive fan reaction to it. We hold PC games very dear to our hearts at Remedy, so in a lot of ways, this feels like finding a lost child, you get to reconnect with something you love and cherish and want to spend more time with it in the future.â€​

The game even was the number one bought game on Steam, so we might even expect American nightmare to come on the PC sooner than later.

It was also reported that the game broke even under 48 hours of it releasing on Steam.
