Best R/C Vehicle this side of the Outer Colonies. When cruising the Halo megastructure and blasting the Covenant into oblivion, no vehicle is more useful than the Warthog. As Cortana will be happy to inform you, the Warthog is a multi-function jeep with a LAAG turret mounted on the back. It has [...]
…carefully watch the current situation with the PSN. Ubisoft’s new DRM for the PC version of Assassin’s Creed II (and multiple future titles, including the upcoming blockbuster-for-sure Splinter Cell: Conviction) requires a constant internet connection to their verification system. The PlayStation Network going down is another excellent example of how a critical system failing can [...]

Trine is a 2.5D puzzle/platformer with three characters, each with unique abilities, that you can switch between on the fly to [...]
Three years after I started playing it I have finally finished Halo, the first one, on the original Xbox. It is one of the most aggravating games of all time.

[H]ard|OCP has a great editorial on NVIDIA’s newest graphics chipset, the GF100, also known as Fermi. This new design is a major departure from and rethinking of the way graphics are rendered on computer video cards. I’ll bet Valve Software’s Gabe Newell is rolling over in his corpulent body. You see, cause he hates new computer [...]
In an article on the Ars gaming blog, Opposable Thumbs, titled Let’s talk about sex… in video games the author drops this question in the third paragraph of the intro.
But why do people in the game industry get so upset about anything sexual appearing in games, especially when there is so much gratuitous violence permeating [...]
Air Force To Expand PlayStation 3-Based Supercomputer
