Gaming Corner, a joint production between the International Mac Podcast Network and Modern Gaming Studios, provides a relaxed, friendly and often comedic approach to delivering gaming news. No two page long essays on one piece of news, no endless sessions of reading articles word for word, just a few gamers chatting over Skype to share their views on the latest gaming news and highlight their favourite tech and games. As always, we hope you enjoy the show and we’d love to hear from you so send your email / audio clips to  and send us comments on [Twitter][] too. This week’s show notes, including links to the panel's picks and all the stories we cover can be found after the break. ###Show Notes ####Console News * __Olly__: Next Xbox to play Blu-rays, block used games - Report - via [GamespotUK](http://uk.gamespot.com/news/next-xbox-to-play-blu-rays-block-used-games-report-6349165) * __Stu__: Nintendo Confirms Nintendo Network - via [IGN](http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/121/1217360p1.html) * __Olly__: 'Constant' Modern Warfare 3 Updates Ahead - via [IGN](http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1215717p1.html) ####Desktop News * __Stu__: Star Wars: The Old Republic Mac Version In Consideration - via [Inside Mac Games](http://www.insidemacgames.com/news/story.php?ArticleID=20465) * __Olly__: Minecraft Will Never Be Finished - via [IGN](http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/121/1217388p1.html) ####Mobile News * __Stu__: Steam launches in-beta iOS, Android app - via [GamespotUK](http://uk.gamespot.com/news/steam-launches-in-beta-ios-android-app-6349269) * __Olly__: Minecraft: Pocket Edition Sales Break 700,000 - via [IGN](http://uk.wireless.ign.com/articles/121/1216816p1.html) * __Stu__: AppAdvice's top games from Macworld|iWorld 2012 - [AppAdvice](http://appadvice.com/appnn/2012/01/macworld-2012-the-most-popular-ios-applications-of-2011-are-announced) ###Picks ####Achievement * __Olly__: Involuntary Euthanasia (Kill the 2 soldiers before the building falls on them in Uprising **25G**) - Battlefield 3 * __Stu__: Ragdoll Check (Force an enemy into a Gravity Panel 5 times **5G**) - Dead Space ####Game Technology * __Olly__: [SteelSeries Siberia V2](http://steelseries.com/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2) * __Stu__: [Xbox Kinect](http://www.xbox.com/en-US/kinect) ####Game * __Olly__: Zombieville 2 [Mika Mobile](http://mikamobile.com/) * __Stu__: Gratuitous Space Battles [Mac App Store](http://clk.tradedoubler.com/click?p=23708&a=2029330&url=http://itunes.apple.com/app/gratuitous-space-battles/id402431812?mt=12) £11.99 / $16.99 [Developer's site](http://positech.co.uk/gratuitousspacebattles/)
