The Silver Lining Website announces the release of the first episode in the fan-created King's Quest game that was recently rescued from legal complications that nearly caused its demise. "I am deeply honored that a group of devoted fans have dedicated themselves to reviving the characters, lands, and quests of my adventure game series," says King’s Quest creator and Sierra On-Line cofounder Roberta Williams. "Without the bravery and persistence of these volunteers, it is almost certain that King’s Quest would have been relegated to a forgotten obscurity—its story left untold. Now there is a chance to truly find out what happens to the royal family of the Kingdom of Daventry. I, like many other fans, would like to see how this story unfolds!"

There are four new RAGE trailers on GameSpot and three new trailers from Hunted: The Demon's Forge. The clips are all linked from the Bethesda Blog.

Here are the ten bestselling games for the week sold through Steam, Valve's digital distribution service:

1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Resurgence Pack
2. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
3. APB All Points Bulletin
4. Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck’s Revenge
5. THQ Complete Pack
6. Sid Meier's Civilization IV: The Complete Edition
7. BioShock 2
8. Just Cause 2
9. Mass Effect 2
10. Killing Floor

Greywardens.com - Is Dragon Age II the End of BioWare as a Traditional RPG Creator?
Teasing me with something as open and infinitely superior in its complexity as was Dragon Age: Origins, only to follow up with something that is simply NOT in the same style or genre, is completely and utterly unfair. As a gamer and a fan, I care how much profit BioWare makes only insofar as it keeps them afloat to continue making more cool stuff that I like. Selfish, but true of most gamers. I don’t want to see things get blanded away from the features and elements that made BioWare my favourite game maker. While I understand their need to grow and expand, on an intellectual level, I am thoroughly disheartened at this turn of events.
