Valve trademarks DOTA after hiring some DOTA guys and being really quiet about it alongside their hiring of the Alien Swarm guys from Unreal Tournament 2004. It looks like Valve is going to start doing non-shooters.

Gearbox might be reviving Duke Nukem Forever. (it was like 70% done anyway so it's totally feasible)

Mafia 2 demo impressions:
After some tweaking to get it working properly on my PC I gotta say the physics are p crazy. But physics don't make a game amazing. What makes a game amazing is a Starcraft 2 OCD attention to detail dev team so that when you're playing the game you notice new little details each time. It's a pretty rock solid game and thank god (on PC at least) there is no auto aim or lock-on aim, which pretty much killed GTA for me as a series. Definitely might buy this game.
