You know, I’d really love to give you a first impression of Aliens vs. Predator but I can’t.  It’s not for the lack of trying though.  I have had the game since day 1, had it installed that afternoon in fact.  I’ll admit, I was wrapping up Mass Effect 2 – review still incoming – [...]

Let’s say that I know this guy.   This guy found a job at a website that focuses on a specific game of a specific genre.  Initially, the site had a large amount of video content and it became very popular.  But the producers of said content had things come up, so he took over [...]

Comic by Penny-Arcade. It looks like I’ll be skipping out on a lot more than just Assassin’s Creed 2 and Settlers 7.

What an absolutely stupid idea this is.  With millions of people fearing Windows Vista, AMD has decided to drop driver support on the majority of the company’s DirectX 9 (Windows XP) cards instead of helping them skip over Vista.  Who in their right mind thought this was a good time to move these cards to [...]

2K Games has announced a very slight delay to Gearbox’s upcoming game with a “bazillion” guns.  The PC edition of Borderlands is getting kicked back from its previous release date alongside the console editions, October 20, to the end of October.  The 360 and PS3 versions will still come out on schedule.  The PC version [...]
