Time to Give
Posted by Rocky on Saturday, December 1 2012

It's almost Christmas, the season of giving. With that in mind we have a charity opportunity for you to check out if you want to get into the spirit of the season of goodwill - The Humble THQ Bundle.

Humble Bundles are a way of buying Steam games but donating a portion of the purchase price to charity. This months bundle is a THQ bundle that contains 7 top rated games, including one of my personal favourites, the Company of Heroes series. You choose how much you want to pay for all seven games, and what portion goes to charity. The average purchase price so far is a ridiculious $6!

Do the right thing, double that and put half to charity, what a deal!

On the subject of Steam, have you seen the Big Picture yet? Play steam on your massive telly, from the couch - we tried it out, see here!

Ubisoft Survey Time!
Posted by Rocky on Friday, September 21 2012

Ubisoft are running two pretty good surveys right now, so here's your chance to feedback on Ubisoft's performance!

The first survey is a short forum feedback survey that only takes 2 minutes to complete.  Ubisoft recently switched forum platforms and are keen to know users opinions. You can take the Ubisoft forum survey here. 

The other survey is a longer 15 minute survey polling player feedback for Ghost Recon Future Solider. After an initial hiccup, we found the survey to be one of the most indepth game feedback surveys we have seen, so this is your chance to let Ubisoft know exactly what you liked and what you would like to see changed in the Ghost Recon franchise. Because the survey is quite detailed, participants will recieve free uPlay points for taking part. Watch your email box for this Future Soldier survey that is being sent directly from Ubisoft to uPlay account holders.
