Are you an advocate for Metroidvania-esque games? Have you been wondering when the next great game in this mighty genre will turn up?

Speak no more, for Arcen Game's A Valley Without Wind has surfaced and they want you to behold the glory that is the multi-role sidescroller. Join us and Erik Johnson of Arcen Games this Saturday as we stream and answer questions about the game. Oh, and if we like you enough, we do have a bunch of keys to give away that'll net you the game.

Released on Monday, April 23rd A Valley Without Wind is Arcen Game's take on the sidescrolling adventure genre both Metroid and Castlevania were known for. If you missed some of our PAX East coverage, check it out here. However, AVWW completely turns the genre on its head by generating the map procedurally. That's right, instead of being forced to complete objectives in a certain style, AVWW gives you multiple pathways to do just about anything. Think we're kidding? Be there Saturday, April 28th at 12pm EST / 9am PST / 5pm BST for an hour long session with one of the dudes who helped create the game!

We'll be playing through different bits of the game and talking about development as well as the game itself. We encourage questions and will showcase anything you guys want to see. Show up for the event and you'll even have a chance to win the game outright. We have multiple Steam codes to give out! We'll see you there.

This weekend marks the final open beta event before TERA, the fantasy driven MMO from En Masse Entertainment, hits physical and digital shelves everywhere.

Have you been looking to take the game for a test drive before you make that frivolous MMO commitment? Stick around then for tonight we dive into the TERA open beta and if you're watching you could win one of six codes that not only give you immediate beta access, but also come with the PAX exclusive Regal Frostlion mount.

Since we last showed off TERA in a previous livestream event, there's been a slew of changes all across the board. We don't have forty thousand pages available here, but you can check them all out on the official TERA website of course. Now, onto the livestream.

The official open beta begins today at 12PM PST / 3PM EST but our livestream won't begin until 11:59PM EST tonight. I'll be present to answer any questions and, if you're nice, you may command me to do anything you want to see in the game. I am at your disposal. Throughout the night we'll also be rolling out those six special codes so make sure you show up right on time!

It's only a matter of weeks now until we get our hands on the conclusion of the Mass Effect trilogy, and that time isn't approaching fast enough.

Fortunately for our own sake, BioWare has blessed us with a demo of Mass Effect 3 today, which you should go and download right now. However, maybe between your last minute Valentine's Day shopping and your busy schedule you aren't going to find time to immerse yourself in a simple taste of what's to come; that's where we come in.

Join us on Wednesday, 15th February at 8pm EST for the livestream in North America via our Twitch.tv channel.

Just like our Diablo III livestream, though, we haven't forgotten about our main folks over in the UK! Your livestream will be at 6pm GMT on Friday, 17th February

Commentary will be provided by yours truly, and Linford Butler will join in on the action on Friday's stream. Get ready for some dead aliens, because... well, that's just what I do.

While it's been out for a while now, it's pretty tough to get sick of seeing more of the Diablo III beta. To celebrate this ravenous hunger, we at GGTL are committing to a live stream of the beta (with commentary of course) for both the USA and UK this week. New to the series? Have questions? Just want to see the game in action? Well friends, stay a while and listen.

We will be broadcasting via Twitch TV and will begin the stream for the USA at 8pm EST on Thursday (2am GMT).

If after that you haven't had enough, we will then be broadcasting at 6pm GMT (12pm EST) on Friday for the UK. Please bring any questions you have and we will field them during the play session! Fortunately I have the dignified glory in hosting this event so get ready for extremely lame jokes along with relentless demon killing.

Thanks in advance for coming to this most prestigious event. Be back here on Thursday at 8pm EST for the start of the festivities and all the goodness you simply can't get anywhere else!
