Some interesting stuff for your viewing/playing pleasure:

Famous (and beloved) gaming portal 1UP has apparently been sold, and the staff gutted. ?

There’s a nice article over at Hellforge talking about the various failed MMOs of 2008.? There’s actually a surprising corpse-count of dead or dying MMOs this past year, and the article discusses the things that brought each of these games down.? Also discussed are 2008’s big winners in the MMO market – and there are only two of them.

Tribes 2 is now free.? You can download this classic right here.

A gamer named Drastisch has been playing a lot of Team Fortress 2.? So much so, that he built his own real-life dispensor (for those not familiar, it’s an in-game item, built by engineers, that gives out ammo and health).? Here’s a pic of it, as well as a slideshow.
