XFX Radeon 5970… in a gun shaped case?
Aug 27th
I caught this over on The Firearm Blog (a good site for firearms news, if you’re into that stuff). I quite honestly have no idea what demographic XFX is going for with their Radeon 5970 here. As if the gun bag itself doesn’t seem strange, the plastic gun-shaped carrier for the card itself is just [...]
Star Wars: The Old Republic will feature space combat… a la Rebel Assault?
Aug 26th
This month’s (the October issue… go figure) cover story at everyone’s favorite gaming magazine, PC Gamer, focuses on the announcement of space combat in BioWare’s up-coming MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic . While I certainly think the entire concept of this game is interesting, I for one have a hard time equating the Star Wars [...]
Retired NFL player alleges EA steals his likeness
Aug 5th
There is a class action lawsuit, filed on July 29th, 2010 by one Michael E. Davis (aka Tony Davis) on behalf of all retired NFL players that EA is allegedly using their likenesses without permission. At first I didn’t care about this because it’s football and I personally would rather eat glass than watch …
EA’s Project Ten Dollar marches on
May 11th
I expect this is what Project Ten Dollar’s next phase will look like. “Gimme the cassshhh!” Project Ten Dollar, for those of you who don’t know, is the name of EA’s master plan to take more of your money. At its inception, the basic premise was this: if you buy a game new, you get [...]
We just stole your editor. How you like them apples?
Apr 26th
One of the founders of IGN and long time Nintendo reviewer Matt Casamassina has stated on his blog that, after 13 years of service, he is leaving IGN to join up with Apple as their “Global Editorial Games Manager”. If you’re as confused by that title as I was, here’s a snippet of his description [...]
Kotaku confirms that Valve loves the PC
Apr 21st
There is a post up on Kotaku that discusses the new “Mutations” mode in the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC that is due out this Thursday. The new game mode sounds interesting and all, but the last paragraph was what caught my eye: Purchased being a relative term, of course. Xbox 360 players can expect [...]
British Government Right Keen on Game Industry
Apr 20th
To any readers interested in the audio bidness, I recommend looking into a subscription to Audio Media. Not only do I recommend this because it’s free (it was when I first subscribed, at least), but it provides some good reads on a wide variety of audio topics, including music recording, post production, broadcast and, on [...]
How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games
Apr 8th
Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2. That’s right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free. At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I’m pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an [...]
PAX EAST 2010 Graphics Part 2: AMD/ATI
Apr 2nd
So, clearly PAX East was NVIDIA’s big event. But that doesn’t mean that AMD/ATI was just twiddling their thumbs. Yeah, their booth may not have been huge, but they had boxes running Bad Company 2, DiRT, and Hawx in Eyefinity (BC2 and Hawx were over 3 monitors, while DiRT was on 6). All three boxes [...]
PAX EAST 2010 Graphics Part 1: NVIDIA
Mar 31st
I spent a decent amount of time at PAX talking to people at both the NVIDIA and AMD/ATI booths. This event was undoubtedly dominated by nVidia, since they were using it as the launch event of the new GTX 470 and 480 series of video cards. Here is what I gathered from the two booths. [...]
