So it turns out EA has been trying to buy Valve for a long time…for as much as US$1 billion! That's a lot of copies of Portal. But why? Does it have something to do with criticisms that EA is not innovative enough (something that Valve is rarely accused of)?

We'll also take a look at EA's decision to include an Osama Bin Laden mission in the DLC for Medal of Honor: Warfighter, plus we'll discuss the future of triple-A games: are less games being made? Why?
