This week in gaming is a quick bite sized segment of the latest and most interesting gaming news to release during the week (Mostly the crap I care about!). Be sure to check it out every Thursday (AND YES IT WILL COME OUT EVERY THURSDAY) only on The GOML!

Starhawk releases: On May 8th Light Box Interactive’s Starhawk was unleashed on to the world and I must say it’s one hell of a game! And no, it’s not just cause I had the opportunity to work with MLG and Sony to promote the game (and worked with Dylan Jobe to boot) but I genuinely enjoy playing the game. It’s a shooter with RTS elements and Pod Killing some helpless bastard is just to fun! Be sure to check it out if you haven’t yet!

Mincraft on Xbox 360 releases: It seems like you can’t go anywhere without reading or seeing Minecraft! Now it’s on the Xbox! Come on bro I think the world has had enough mi… let me not finish that sentence before the Creepers come get me.

Yeah, that’d be for the best…

Strongside, vVv CDjr and ItsGosu get sponsored by Nos Energy Drink: I can’t believe people are still sponsoring Halo players! Granted this is great news as Side is one of the nicest people I have ever met and CDjr is a G! As for ItsGosu I guess that is just another win for the SC2 community! Good to see all the communities getting recognized in this deal!

Thorzain picked up by Evil Geniuses: I’m not a SC2 guy by any means but this could only be a great thing for the EG Organization! According to Live on Three SirScoots stated that they were looking at Thorzain for quite some time even before his big win at Dreamhack (I won’t lie, I had to go to YouTube to see video of the victory… it was baller). Just another win for the “Yankees of eSports” (Thought it’d be cool to put it in quotation marks).

Oh yeah and there is a Starhawk Tournament going down on http://www.gamebattles.com with $20,000 up for grabs (that’s a lot of nuts!) so don’t be a punk and sign up ;D

Happy Slaying ;D
