LifestreamWho is killing PC gaming again? (VE3D) Rockstar is certainly letting us all down. And it would seem that the advantage of choosing a scene ("pirated") version is now greater than ever before. It’s not just free, but it has added benefits that go far beyond just getting rid of the old CD check. What [...]

I recall someone saying that Gears of War 2 wasn’t going to be released on the PC platform because of "PIRACY". Now, this serves you right (TEAMXBOX, VE3D, RLSLOG). It’s even on Pirate Bay. With so many users getting the game so early, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that a pirated copy of Gears [...]
Because not everything is about "piracy" you know. Here is more insight into why the market is failing. ANYBODY wondering why PC gaming is being slapped around by the console market need only look to the release notes for the latest AMD Catalyst drivers, version 8.4, released merely moments ago. The driver adds very little [...]
Get a First Life: A One Page Satire of Second Life. Linden Labs are amused. Probably since their take on life is as pathetic as the original. With all the hoopla about Second Life, virtual news agencies on virtual matters, taxation and virtual embassies it is starting to get more than a little creepy. It [...]
Or smothering it. Microsoft wants to streamline, standardize gaming for Windows Vista. Should we be afraid or really, really afraid? We recently sat down with Games for Windows (GFW) Marketing Director Kevin Unangst and PR Manager Michael Wolf for a brief pre-launch tour of gaming on Vista. Admittedly, the implementation hasn’t changed much since we [...]
IGA or in-game advertising is on the rise and Electronic Arts has just launched what seems to be its first title with built-in, remotely fetched ads for in-game billboards. It’s perhaps more surreal than spyware per se. Electronic Arts launched Battlefield 2142 yesterday and not too many people were happy to find spyware incorporated into [...]
As mind-boggling as it sounds, Reuters just set up shop in some sort of virtual reality community called “Second Life.” Never heard of it and it sound a little girly, but the effort immediately paid off with an even stranger tale of how the US government is looking into virtual economies, taxation and property rights. [...]
In a Pentagon wet dream of a computer game. No wonder that they’re a subcontractor to the Pentagon then. Mercenaries 2: World in Flames plays out as “a power-hungry tyrant messes with Venezuela’s oil supply, sparking an invasion that turns the country into a war zone.” Will we be seeing every future U.S. operation on [...]
The Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) which is funded by the U.S. Defense Department to monitor “1,500 militant websites” has come to the conclusion that said “militants” have done at least one mod for Battlefield 2 that adapts the MEC for a more contemporary and factual context. Now, listen to this: Battlefield 2 ordinarily shows [...]
Everyone is talking about Oblivion it seems. Though of course, nothing can quite arouse gamers like a RPG regardless of its merits. Still, having a meta score of 95% over at Game Rankings does imply that the game is worth looking into. So I did. Aside from a small scene-related () glitch the game installed [...]
