In case you’re still interested in playing developer Remedy’s survival horror title that took nearly five years in the making on your PC, you can now do so nearly two years after the game was released on the Xbox360. The PC version is expected to hit Steam next month and will weigh in at around 7.5GB. This will include the game as well as both The Signal and The Writer DLCs. The game will be fully compatible with your Xbox360 controller, but if you want a more responsive experience, it will play just fine with mouse and keyboard as well.

Thank God I was awake

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now.
