Today we are sad because it's no longer pancake day. We know that it's not against the law to make pancakes when it isn't pancake day, but it somehow seems so wrong. In an effort to cheer ourselves up, we decided to go ahead and launch two competitions. If you like the sound of Darkspore , or would like to try Trion World's new MMO Rift , check them out.
In the news today we had Microsoft talking about improving Games for Windows Live . Speaking of fixing things, Crytek put up a patch for the Crysis 2 demo and Sports Interactive unleashed their massive January update on Football Manager 2011 . In between all of this we also had a think about Battlefield 3 , and put together a list of 10 things we really want to see from the sequel. Now it's time to sit back and relax with a list of everything that's been going on in PC gaming, and more importantly, watch the next episode of Adventure Call. Are you ready to begin your quest, traveller?
