For those of you that thought 2004′s Magna Cum Laude was Leisure Suit Larry’s last battle in lonely loserville, you’ll be happy to know that his original creator, Al Lowe, is back in the fold and starting work on a brand new set of adventures.

Those browser-obsessed trillionaires over at Zynga have launched yet another addicting (and most likely annoying) game for you and your friends to enjoy in-between sessions of cyber stalking.

Shacknews in particular has put together a nice summary of the event along with the award winners list. It noted that cooperative gameplay [...]

We seem to be talking about indie games more and more these days. Thanks in no small part to their increased availability on a variety of marketplace platforms. However, one limitation of services like Steam, PSN, and Xbox Live Indie Games is that developers have to provide the companies behind these services a cut of the profits.

Granted, Gears 3 sold 3 million copies in its first week but for a rerelease of critically acclaimed PS2 games to take over the number 1 position is surprising. Especially because those games didn’t sell that well when both were originally released last decade. [...]
