We Wuz Price-Jacked! - L.A. Noire Steam Price Doubles

It might be late, but L.A. Noire is due to arrive on PC in a little over a fortnight in the form of L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition. Hitting shelves, both physical and digital, on November 12, PC gamers who hadn't already placed their pre-order on Steam are in for a rude shock.

As of today, the Australian Steam price is now listed as $89.99 USD, with a 10% discount for pre-orders making it $80.99 for those who buy in advance.

Until now, the Steam price for Australia had been the same as America, priced at $44.99 USD.

Ed Boon wants Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter to happen

To me, it’d be cool to see other characters from other fighting games, Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter or someone from Tekken would be fun ones as well.

We absolutely have thought about it. We’ve all dreamt with crossing over with Street Fighter or Tekken. Killer Instinct was also one that was coming up since they were an M-rated game as well. But I’ll tell you that we’ve had many, many conversations along those lines.

Chinese Couple Sells All Three Kids to Play Online Games

A young Chinese couple has sold all three of their children in exchange for money to play online Nick jr games at Internet cafes, reports a southern Chinese newspaper.

According to Sanxiang City News, the couple met in an Internet cafe back in 2007 and bonded over their obsession with online video games.  A year later, the parents — who are both under 21 — welcomed their first child, a son.  Days after his birth, they left him home alone while they went to play online agame at an Internet cafe 30 km away.

In 2009, Li Lin and Li Juan welcomed their second child, a baby girl, and came up with the idea to sell her for money to fund their online game obsession.  They did so, receiving RMB 3,000 (less than $500), which they spent entirely shortly after.  The couple then proceeded to sell their first child and got 10 times as much for him — RMB 30,000, or about $4600.

Upon having their third child — another boy — the parents followed in their previous footsteps and also got RMB 30,000 for him.

They were finally turned into authorities when Li Lin’s mother found out what her son and his girlfriend had done.

When asked if they missed their children, the parents answered, “We don’t want to raise them, we just want to sell them for some money.”

Sanxiang City Newsreports the couple didn’t know they were breaking the law.
