John Hardie, Sean Kelly, and Joe Santulli are probably names that you haven't heard of before in the gaming industry. Little did you know the three names actually have a fairly large roll in the industry though. Hardi, Kelly, and Santulli are actually 3 ordinary guys who took it upon themselves to document the history of video games and created the Video Game History Museum.
Since the purchase of IGN's Direct 2 Drive, we were all wondering how Gamefly would integrate this into their services. Finally news has surfaced on what Gamefly has planned, and I gotta admit it's pretty damn good. Come this holiday season, Gamefly will be offering unlimited PC gaming through their subscription service. Gamefly has been working hard to sign more publishers up, and come September 8, they plan to have over a hundred publishers for their Beta program. This holiday season seems like the best season to give a Gamefly subscription!
Diablo 3 will have tons of new surprises laying in wait for players, and one big one will be Auction House transactions using real life money. Yes, you heard me correctly. Real money can be used in transactions at the auction house.

Electronic Arts had plenty to boast about during their preliminary financial results report for the first quarter of 2011. Since Battlefield 3 pre-order sales are up 10% over it's predecessor. The company was bolstered by top performing games like Portal 2, Crysis 2, FIFA 11, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12. What may have come as a big surprise for investors was news that Star Wars: The Old Republic broke the already high record set by Battlefield 3 for pre-orders. Within the first 24 hours of pre-orders going live, the $150 Collector's Edition sold out at EA's own store, Origin.
