Well it appears that Valve is being it’s usual generous self and is giving out L4D2 to anyone accidentally banned recently from Modern Warfare 2. I feel that this is quite nice of them and a nice way to make up for this mess-up but I do wish things like this didn’t keep happening.

Sony has recently revealed the good news that it will NOT charge for the PSN service until it can actually justify charging for it. This is good news as Sony appear to want to charge for the service and I am honestly prepared to pay if we are going to get some compelling features to make it worthwhile. I do want the whole multi player thing to stay free though so I can skimp out and still enjoy that. What do you think? Please tell us in the comments.

It’s Wednesday and you know what that means! What do you mean you don’t know? Oh, that’s right. We haven’t introduced ourselves yet. We’re VGTribune and we’re bringing you the coolest wallpaper around for hotly anticipated games (or ones that we think are just plain cool) each Wednesday. Starting today. Just right click the images and hit download to get them in their highest resolution, usually 1920 x 1200 or something crazy like that.
