Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse after the news of widespread Xbox360 crashes — CivIV apparently is a little “buggy” too. Its hurting the games ratings in the user reviews. Ask any old gamer, games that crash right out of the box are nothing new (ie: Battlecruiser 3000AD) What is new is […]

Because iD releases the source code to their old games, someone was able to port Quake 2 from C over to Java. That means you can play the legendary frag fest in in your browser — as I’d like to call it, web Quake 2. Unfortunately, you need to download the data files to the […]

We’re currently targeting Wednesday, November 30th as the release date for the updated version of de_nuke for Counter-Strike: Source, and Argentan for Day of Defeat: Source. Nuke will be the first Counter-Strike: Source map we’ve released that includes HDR lighting, and we think the community will like the way it looks. Argentan is […]

While I was watching an Xbox 360 special on TV I saw some footage of Gun. The video showed some cowboy running down indians on his horse. Not very politically correct! So I decided I should investigate further. The good news is this game has also been released for PC. The bad news is, Gun […]

Gamespot has published an exclusive Neverwinter Nights 2 preview. The screenshots are very impressive, right on par with the latest 3D engines. This role playing game is scheduled to be released in 2006. Judging by the pics this is going to be the tail end of 2006 / beginning of 2007.
Some details included in the […]

Its becoming very clear that Valve is positioned to completely dominate the […]

Did wait in line all night and manage to get your hands on a brand new Xbox 360. Happy, right? Well not if you are one of many people to walk home with a defective Xbox360. Reports are pouring in of overheating, crashing, and defective 360 hard drives. Not good news for Microsoft or angry […]

Here is a funny story from over at Xbox Scene. Some dude waited in line at Best Buy for 55 hours, bought an Xbox 360, and then smashed it with a sledgehammer in front of everyone. Kind of amusing, but considering that Xbox 360’s are going for about $1,000 a piece on ebay right now, […]

We spent a few hours yesterday testing SiN 1 multiplayer on Steam, playing deathmatch on a few crowd favorites, like Spry, Paradox, Railroad and Sin City. Everything went well, so it’s getting pretty close. The game is still one of the best multiplayer experiences out there and I can’t wait for […]
