First and foremost, a tremendous thank you to everyone who tuned into yesterday’s live show. Between The Destructoid Show andMash Tactics, your afternoons must be as unproductive as the day is long. Yesterday, we had a laundry list of news to cover and a handful of games to give away.

First up, Valve made the surprise announcement yesterday morning thatCounter-Strike: Global Offensivewill heading to PC and consoles early next year. Coming slightly sooner than that isGoogle+ Games, now officially live and coming to a computer near you. Max reaveals there will beno melee combatinFable: The Journey(while doing his best Peter Molyneux impressions), and if you thought you could avoid EA’s Origin service by buying your copy ofBattlefield 3retail, think again. Also, Max finally got to check out Saints Row 3 yesterday morning. He can’t share his impressions quite yet, but why not check out thistrailerinstead?
