Steam is getting its own in store voucher cards and another big game gets delayed.

SHOW NOTES:

Story 1:

Digital gaming has been a boon to most gamers, killing the need for a lot of them to have to go to a brick and mortar store to purchase a game. That is especially true for Steam.

Well now even Steam is going to be showing up in stores, exclusively at Gamestop with its new Steam Wallet cards.

These cards will be just like the PSN, XBLA, and Wii point cards that you’ll normally find there, and will come in both $20 and $50 denominations.

Steam is a digital online storefront, but some players don’t have a credit card or any kind of electronic payment method. Using these cards lets those gamers have access to all of the games and the DLC that goes with them.

There are a lot of awesome games on Steam, and it now looks like a lot more gamers will now be able to play them.

Story 2:

We told you last week about the delay of Irrational’s Bioshock Infinite, and another high profile game as also slipped into next year.

News came out on Monday that the reboot of the Tomb Raider franchise has now been pushed back until sometime in Q1 of 2013.

A post on the Eidos forums from Crystal Dynamics studio head Darrell Gallagher stated that: "We're doing things that are completely new to Tomb Raider in this game, and the additional development time will allow us to put the finishing touches into the game and polish it to a level that you deserve. We believe this is the right choice, and I guarantee it will be worth the wait."

As a way to make up for it, Crystal Dynamics said that they would be revealing a lot more information about the game at next month’s E3.
