Eurogamer Expo has always operated a policy that discourages booth babes, but after two companies bent the rules at this year’s show, Eurogamer is enforcing a tougher policy for 2013.

Eurogamer.net has gone live with its well-anticipated relaunch after a private beta period, showing a radical new take on one of Britain’s most popular games sites. Gone is the static centre content column and obvious ordering of articles by type, replaced instead with article feeds based on date and popularity.

It’s getting hammered at the moment, so you may have trouble getting it loaded, but it is there. Congrats to all involved.

VG247 readers took on Eurogamer readers last night in a Team Fortress 2 match that quickly dissolved in a lot of people shouting “lollery” and randomly decapitating each other with baseball bats. Screens inside.

Eurogamer’s digital download service, Get Games, flung the doors wide today, and debuted with a very special offer.

The site says that new releases, indie titles, classic games and free-to-play titles will be added soon.

Eurogamer just put its iPhone app live for £2.39. Get it here.

It basically lets you see content, comment, turn pages, watch videos and do all the other things you’d expect it to do.

Take a look.

If you’re wondering why the site hasn’t been updated much since the early evening yesterday, it’s because I was travelling up to the Eurogamer Expo in Leeds, which opens today. Get some pics of the unopened show and the Eurogamer crew setting it up after the break.

As you can see, some of the industry’s biggest upcoming games are going to be playable at the event today, including Heavy Rain, Mass Effect 2 and God of War III.

We’ll be there all day, covering panels on games like Brink, and hopefully grabbing some videos of the bigger stuff for you as we go along.

And remember – the show’s completely sold out, as is its London leg later this week. There are no tickets on the door, either, so if you didn’t buy one you’ll have to wait until next year.

After the first IGN-exclusive Brutal Legend reviews yesterday, EG’s gone live with an 8/10.

Snip:

It’s probably Brutal Legend’s characters that win out. Since the days when he provided dialogue options for Guybrush Threepwood, Schafer’s secret skill has been to people his games with lovable oddballs who quickly start to feel like friends, creating bonds strong enough to ensure you forgive some of the ropier moments. In this case, Schafer, Double Fine, and Black haven’t just created a story about roadies: they’ve become them, scuttling about energetically, heads down and minds focused, as they pull a handful of simple props together in order to put on an amazing show.

You can get it in the US now, and Play appears to be selling it in the UK, despite the fact it’s not supposed to come out until Friday over here.

Eurogamer Network’s to launch a Digital Downland service called Get Games.

The venture’s a partnership with Mastertronic boss Andy Payne.

“At Mastertronic, we have sold 30 million units down the years across our group of PC brands and we feel very optimistic for the PC as a gaming platform,” said Payne.

“We have been selling some of our products by download for the last five years and have gained vital experience in this space. By combining this experience with Eurogamer’s quality editorial content and eyeballs we feel we have a winning combination.”

There’s no date for launch as yet. GI has more.
