Successor to smash-hit Operation Flashpoint, the sequel (dubbed Dragon Rising) will be rising on Steam's top-sellers list this weekend. You will be able to find it for 75% off from now until Monday. Dragon Rising is produced by Codemasters and follows up on the original Operation Flashpoint, published in 2001. The original game was credited as being one of the most realistic shooters of its time. If you want to see the game before shelling out the $7.50 bones for it, you can always nab a demo from Steam.

Paradox Interactive has teamed up with Arrowhead Game Studios to publish this "unique" action-adventure fantasy game. Arrowhead takes a hilarious twist with the typical fantasy setting, admitting outright that it is "generic," but in a funny way. Get your bath robes ready.
In Magicka, players will control four wizards in a not-so-serious epic quest to save a not-so-unique town. In fact, Magicka sets itself apartby being uniquely generic. Consider your mind blown.
Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios, said:
Bethesda released a trailer Thursday giving the first look at the Obsidian-developed Fallout sequel, Fallout: New Vegas. The trailer opens to Frank Sinatra's Blue Moon before pulling back and revealing New Vegas, ending with the iconic Fallout phrase "War never changes." Fallout 2 veterans will also notice the flag of the New California Republic, indicating that they may play a major roll in the game.
Obsidian Entertainment was formed in 2003 by former Black Isle employees, some of whom worked on the original Fallout games. Obsidian is known for their RPG sequels, including KotOR 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2. Let's hope that this one doesn't get rushed and Obsidian lives up to their full potential.
Bethesda also announced that Fallout: New Vegas is set for release on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 in fall 2010.
Blizzard Entertainment released new screenshots of the upcoming AAA title, Diablo 3. Diablo is a hack-n-slash dungeon-crawler that inspired many modern remakes, such as Torchlight.

What are your thoughts on the new art direction? Has Diablo 3 strayed from its roots? Read More for screens.
For those that watch House M. D. on a regular basis, you probably can't get enough of the hilariously unconventional and downright politically incorrect Doctor, Greg House.
