And lots of mining Red5’s sci-fi MMOFirefallhas been in beta for a very long time, recently hitting thatopen-betamilestone. So long, in fact, that when I started playing the closed beta in earnest last month, it had transformed into an entirelydifferentgame since my initial glimpse of it a year ago. This substantial overhaul reflects the changes within the MMO genre itself. Static quests, classes, and progressing by leveling up and unlocking new abilities have become, dare I say it, passé....

Hilarity prevails when home shopping channel QVC accidentally broadcasts a portion of Charlie Brooker’sScreenwipeat the most inopportune time. If you’ve never actually seen the segment which QVC inadvertently publicizes, I suggest you give it a quick Youtube glance, as it’s quite amusing in its own right. Anyway, I’ve had a surprisingly busy weekend considering there was barely any news, so let’s get right down to our games of the week. Hit the jump for the usual....
