You know that recurring dream you keep having, where you run around an airship in a dystopian steampunk future, firing on all the bad guy airplanes and such. Man, we have that dream too. Now your dream can become a reality with Guns of Icarus, the first Mac & PC game for purchase and download on Steam. Finally the day of platform parity seems real!
Say the developers,Muse Games:
“Guns of Icarus will be available on Steam today along with the launch of their brand new Mac steam client. As mac users & gamers we’ve been waiting for this one for a long time…But as developers, we’re super excited to be the first new game to launch on Steam with both Mac & PC versions available! An indie game no less! And a lot we owe to Unity, which allows us to simultaneously deploy to both Mac & PC platforms with essentially no effort.
Be sure to pick up your copy at http://store.steampowered.com/app/49800“
Us Mac folks here at GrE highly recommend supporting the hell out of developers who come out swinging with Mac & PC versions of their games.

As longtime fans of the PSP Podcast, we’re really excited about the latest development from podcaster Lloyd Hannesson. Lloyd’s currently the creative genius behind DSLife, Touch of Gaming and WiiSpot, and he’s now decided for some crazy reason to add to his group of Video Game Podcasts with one focused purely on the PS3 and the PSP.
Episode one is out, and it’s a good one. Three dudes talk about all things Sony and share news, new releases, and talk about what each of them are playing. Lloyd has a long history of doing this kind of show, and it really shows here. Make sure you head over and check out the podcast and subscribe. And tell ‘em GrE sent ya.

Just follow us on twitter, and send us an @ reply with the name you’ll give your ship if you’re selected to receive a beta key!

GrE says, "Space… the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Neverpants. It’s continuing mission: to explore strange new MMO’s. To seek out new quests, and space loot. To boldly go where no gamer has gone before! Star Trek Online hits retail on February 2nd, but we had the chance to take a look at the beta ahead of time."

GrE says, "Jagex are a bit of an enigma. They have quietly become one of the biggest players in the MMO market with Runescape boasting figures only bested by World of Warcraft. Interestingly, all of their success has come without the slightest bit of marketing and with a minimal amount of press exposure. Still, they have become one of the finest purveyors of MMO games. Now, with Runscape nearing its ninth birthday, they have decided to tackle something new. Today (Tuesday 19th January, 2010) marks the launch of Jagex’s newest endeavour the massively multiplayer browser based real-time strategy game War of Legends."
