CD Projekt RED has released five new screenshots from The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, due for release this September.
Whilst we loved the original title, this version promises to fix all the little things that earned it some criticism. Like the barmy dialogue.
As we've already reported, the new package includes a rewritten script, multiple languages, new adventures, a map editor, the soundtrack, a music CD inspired by the game, a game guide, a short story, a making-of DVD, a map and a cuddly Geralt toy. The last one isn't confirmed.
The screenshots look quite nice too. Take a look, here.

Bungie has finally scrapped CD checking in old-timer Halo 1 for PC, feeling five years of spinning may have ruined your discs.
This will be coming in patch 1.08, which will be mandatory from Friday onwards, according to the Bungie website. Other fixes address server-crashing bugs but nothing else; the game is too old to bother combatting aimbots in, apparently.
Anyway, Bungie doesn't officially support Halo 1 PC because Microsoft owns the game. This patch was made as a favour to the community.
However, don't expect too many more fixes in the future or for source code to be opened to the internet.

Ubisoft has filed a lawsuit against the company it hired to reproduce discs for the PC edition of Assassin's Creed, for no less then USD 10 million on counts of breach of contract and negligence, plus fees, and for an undisclosed sum on a count of copyright infringement.
The suit is the result of a leak which Ubisoft claims came from US-based Optical Experts Manufacturing which led to over 700,000 pirated downloads of the title, as well as "irreparable harm" to its reputation, reports GameSpot.
It is alleged that an employee of OEM took a copy of the game home and uploaded it to the Internet around six weeks before the game shipped for the PC in April this year, and that OEM ignored a number of security protocols which would have prevented that from happening.
Ubisoft also claims that a bug which it had purposely introduced to the unfinished code (which was what was pirated) caused the game to crash partway through - but that this bug found its way into some reviews, causing customer confusion as to the reliability of the clean retail game.
Piracy on the PC platform is a hot topic in the industry worldwide, with some regions in Asia-Pacific and Europe so blighted by the problem that no PC packaged software market exists to speak of.
Piracy has also been cited as a reason for the decline in the PC gaming market - outside of MMOs - and part of the subsequent rise of console popularity.

It appears that Blizzard has beefed up their World of Warcraft recruit-a-friend program rather substantially. There have been rumors that this was coming for a while now, but the details are still a little surprising. Benefits include triple experience, being able to summon your friend from anywhere in the world, free levels, free gametime, and even a free mount if your friend signs up for a two-month subscription. All of these are subject to several quid pro quos, but it looks like Blizzard is really trying to ramp up their player base for the expansion.

We showed you the first footage of an OLPC booting the official Windows XP installation back in June, but now Laptop has given the XP-sporting XO a quick round of testing, and unsurprisingly, things are a bit sluggish. The XO's hardware has gone unchanged for the XP edition, so Windows boots off of an SD card which also packs Office, IE, and other apps. While IE fired up in five seconds, the OS took 1 minute 24 seconds to boot, and no one should be surprised that multitasking on the little guy's 256MB of RAM was not fun. Mesh networking is also not making it to the Windows version, unfortunately, but kids can still dual-boot into the Sugar OS for that.

Rockstar has announced that Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC will ship on November 18 in North America and November 21 in Europe, approximately six months after the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions smashed sales records with sales of $500 million in the first week.
This news wasn't entirely unexpected; previous GTA games have been ported over to the PC, and the series itself began only on the PC. Speculation ramped up in recent weeks, though, especially after industry ratings organization ESRB listed Grand Theft Auto IV and Bully: Scholarship Edition, another Rockstar game, for the "Windows PC" platform. The ESRB then updated the list to remove those citations.
Grand Theft Auto IV is the latest in the popular, open-world crime saga. In this game, you play as Eastern European immigrant Niko Belic as he attempts to make it in Liberty City, which is basically a stand-in for New York City. The console versions were universally praised by critics, and the game averages a 9.4 and a 9.5 on GameStats for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, respectively.

Paradox Interactive has released nine screenshots for space action combat sim Dark Horizon.
As we've suggested before, Dark Horizon looks like it follows in the footsteps of X-wing, TIE Fighter and Wing Commander.
These particular screens hint that it takes more inspiration from the latter than the former. Paradox promises the game will include some RPG elements too, several modes of combat and advanced ship customisation.
You'll also be able to play it with a joystick, so it might be time to go hunting through the cupboards and find that old PC stick you thought you'd never use again.
Dark Horizon will be available in shops and online as of September 26.

MyBB is a is a freeware, visible source bulletin board system software package.
Full changelog here: http://www.mybboard.net/features/whats-new
http://community.mybboard.net/thread-34565.htmlI'm very proud to announce that MyBB 1.4 has been released and is now available directly on the MyBB website.
MyBB 1.4 is a great leap forward in terms of both functionality of the board as well as a complete overhaul of the administrator control panel. There are over 70+ new features that have been built in to MyBB and the MyBB code base has almost doubled in size since MyBB 1.2.
We've also updated the MyBB Website to contain a feature tour and full feature listing for what's available in MyBB 1.4: http://www.mybboard.net.
We recommend that all users upgrade to 1.4 so they can take advantage of the great new features in MyBB 1.4, but we recommend you plan your upgrade first. More information on upgrading and changes to templates, themes, plugins and languages can be found below.
From me personally, I'd like to thank all of the MyBB staff both past and present for the fantastic work they've put in to MyBB 1.4 - it's been a long time, but I'm ever so grateful for your dedication and support of the MyBB project. A huge thanks should also go to our beta testers who've been on the MyBB 1.4 beta from the start, and finally for the community for their fantastic support.

http://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=6712.0
So after not being updated for a good half a decade, PCSXTrace is back! Since I lost the original source code, I had to do everything from scratch...Still from 1.5 because it hasn't been updated. And that's a good thing if you've played around with PCSXTrace before. So the major changes are that it has many more cpu tracing options and I ditched the special (gpu, dma, etc) tracing options because I don't think anybody uses those. I would've recoded them but I'm hoping to add a debugger someday.
You can download it below from its RHDN home:
PCSXTrace 1.5b

Diablo III designer Jay Wilson has responded to fan made Diablo screenshots created in response to the game's art style.
Within days of the Diablo III reveal, fans were modifying released screenshots to express what their disappointment in the style of the game (see some examples here). Blizzard has since said that the art will remain unchanged.
In an effort to appease fans, Wilson has now explained why specific images would not work within the game.
Referring to a screen with an added light radius (see right), Wilson told MTV that "the key thing to remember here is that this has been Photoshopped. This isn't created by the engine.
"Though it looks really cool, it's almost impossible to do in a 3D engine because you can't have lighting that smart and run on systems that are reasonable. If we could do that, we probably would in a few of the dungeons."
Wilson also addressed the controversial rainbow shot. In the original Blizzard version, a rainbow can be seen in the distance.
"No, you're probably not going to see a ton of rainbows," he said. "But we don't think the one that's in there is that big a deal. You know it's like, it's a waterfall.
"We don't think it's that big a deal; we just think it adds a lot of interest to that scene. We don't have specific plans to fill 'Diablo' with rainbows. It's not like we restarted the project and were like 'Diablo III - now with rainbows!'"

Do you find it difficult to slip the fact that you conquered a certain titular Lord of Terror into your daily conversations? Feel insecure when bragging about your latest successful Zerg Rush to your colleagues? Blizzard's got your back -- in a recent interview with MTV Multiplayer, World of Warcraft lead designer Jeff Kaplan revealed that there will be achievements in Blizzard's next two highly anticipated projects, Diablo III and Starcraft II.
These achievements will join the recently revealed achievements for WoW (which will make their debut with the Wrath of the Lich King expansion) -- however, Kaplan revealed that eventually, achievements from the three games will be linked to your Blizzard account, forming a "Blizzard Level". Kaplan likened the system to the Xbox Live gamerscore -- only without all the embarrassment one must suffer after earning 780 points from Pimp My Ride.

New version of the front end for PC.
Chnagelog:
New Features:
- Thanks to the hard work of Flash and Headkaze for providing the tools, the first of the updated databases using the new format are in this release. These are for the Sega Saturn and NEC PC-FX
- I realised today that the MAME manufacturer list and filter had really become a useless feature due to the huge amount of MAME games now supported and the data accuracy issues in the MAME XML output. Therefore GameEx now performs formating on the Manufacturer, resulting in less manufacturers in the list and more games grouped under each one as well as fixing the data accuracy issues in recent MAME builds. This results in a smaller list making the feature once again worth having hopefully. An update list is required
Changes:
- For new installs by default GameEx will not set the resolution to 800x600 but will use the current windows desktop resolution. This is to provide a better initial experience for new users, and should only be a problem on really low end machines set at high resolutions
- There is a slight change to the 2d animations. Hopefully for the better. Feedback welcome
- When choosing the Lite or MAME only option on install, ebooks and search will be disabled. The theme is set at Media Center instead of MCE Glossy
Fixes:
- GameEx should be more usable in touch screen setups as the issue where clicking the page down error did not return focus to the list from the menu with the default V3 themes is fixed
- Fixes issue where the menu would not be visible after updating the MAME list
- Fixes ICONS only being created on a restart when the first MAME list update is done
