Kalypso Media announces the release of the Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion – Ultimate Edition in some territories, specifically the U.K., Benelux, France, Italy, Spain, Nordics, Greece, Portugal, South Africa, Russia, Middle East, and Asia. This comes without warning, as we never got a penultimate edition, but word is this is the last planned version of the game: "Developed by Ironclad Games and co-published by Stardock and Kalypso Media, Sins: Rebellion – Ultimate Edition is the final instalment of the award-winning 4X real-time strategy game and bundles the main Sins: Rebellion game with the highly praised ‘Forbidden Worlds’ and ‘Stellar Phenomena’ DLC as well as a printed manual and soundtrack CD to create the ultimate Sins experience."

Battle.net announces plans to free up "sidelined" character names in World of Warcraft upon the release of the version 6.2 patch for the MMORPG. Word is that names of characters who have not logged in since December 7, 2010 will be available to newly created characters. So those hoping to be King Vuvuzela or Bieber Hair may have the chance soon enough. Thanks Ant.

The Anarchy Online forums announce a new graphics engine is available for testing in Funcom's venerable sci-fi MMORPG. This is being offered without much fanfare, word simply is: "Click this link and download that file. Have feedback? We'd love to hear it! Reply here, or go to the testlive forums and let your voice be heard!" There are warnings in the thread from users on how to ensure you don't overwrite your existing installation of the game." Thanks Erling.

Seemed like a lot of announcements at E3 this year. Certainly a far cry from 2007/2008 when it seemed like the whole thing was dying. Guess the show is like PC gaming... rumors of its death were greatly exaggerated.
