We assume we are not the only ones believing that DLC is the cancer of gaming and should be eradicated as soon as possible. You see, back in the days developers provided users with modding tools to create their own content and share it with other players. But since the introduction of this DLC crap, we’ve been getting unimpressive and cash-in additional contents, with some of them being cut from the actual games.

The latest UK PC Retail and Steam Digital charts have been unveiled and as we can see, Diablo III and ArmA II: Combined Operations are still the best selling PC titles. And it’s funny as hell because this very same sentence was also in last week’s PC charts. History repeats itself, I guess. The UK PC Retail Charts are almost the same with those of last week’s. Anno 2070 has managed to re-enter the charts while The Secret World has fallen to the 15th place. Apart from that, there is nothing to write home about.

Our CryEngine 3 gallery is dedicated this week on the amazing total conversion/CryEngine 3 game, Titanic – Lost in the Darkness. You know, the one from that memorable video.
