AU News Wrap, August 22 – What happened today
It was a beautiful day. The sun shone, birds sang, I drank a lot of cough medicine and news flew from my fingertips like nourishing rain on the earth of the Internet. One or more of these things is not true.

Bastion PC to hit Australia August 17
Warner Bros. Australia has confirmed Bastion’s local PC release date of August 17, one day behind other territories – although that’s probably a time zone thing, really, since we live in the future.
The critically-acclaimed action RPG (read: dungeon crawler) will go for $14.99, and kick off on Steam before hitting other local PS portal storefronts.
The PC version of the game has an overhauled control scheme but also supports control pads. It’s also available on Xbox Live Arcade.
