    Kinect and Internet Explorer Come Together on Xbox

    "Xbox - Open Internet Explorer - Go to: Google.com - Search: Pornography" The true reason we need a hands free experience. I hope it does not track all motions.

    Splinter Cell Studio Expanding After $500 Million Investment

    I like that companies are investing money into producing content in my home country but I am extremely bothered that the government of Ontario would pump so much money into one game studio. That money could be better used to help with all the bad schools in Toronto and the rest of the province...

    92 year old WWII vet bootlegs 300,000 DVDs and sends them to American soldiers in Afghanastan

    Instead of breaking copyright law he could have bought DVDs to send to the troops. Hell, he could have started a donation campaign and sent a ton more over and probably convinced the companies to match the donations as a PR stunt.

    GameStop Goes Big on PC Games

    Seems like a situation where they should have went to Valve and said "Hey, we have retail stores that tons of people go to, you have a great distribution platform. We should team up to get the content out to more people and split the profits in a fair way."

    Jimquisition: On-Disc DLC Cannot Be Justified

    Would you rather simply not have this content at all? Would Gears of War have been better without those gun skins? Would Mass Effect have been better without those extra characters? Would fighting games be better if you could not get those cool new guys to beat up someone? You can complain...

    Parents Suing Apple Over In-Game Purchasing

    There is no way to 'beat' most of these games and that is the point. You just keep playing it until you either get bored or are willing to spend the money to get that new shiny object that nobody else you know has. And I do not just base these things off of playing some game. I not only know...

    Parents Suing Apple Over In-Game Purchasing

    I hate to ruin the theory that all of this is to target little kids but they are not who these games are meant for. The primary users of these 'social' games (eg. Zynga Games like Smurfville) are older women with disposable income. They also in no way force you to buy these things. Buying them...

    Microsoft Announces "Chrome" Xbox 360 Controllers

    I did not see any indication on any of the sources that these are shiny plastic. Can you provide proof of this statement or direct me to the part I overlooked?

    Gamers Ship 400 Cupcakes to BioWare in Protest of Mass Effect 3

    Fan: "So did you like the cupcakes" BW: "They were great. You have really shown us how much you care." Fans "So is their going to be a new ending?" BW: "Sadly not, we are not willing to change the end of our story." Fans "Well that is too bad. The antidote was in the 'Congratulation...

    Battlefield 3 Update Includes Paid "Shortcuts"

    The idea of these "Play for Gear" system is not very good in my opinion. People who are new to a game and do not have the same level of skill as a veteran will go up against people with vastly superior skill and equipment. Games like Halo allow people coming in to have the same gear as a vet. In...

    Poll: Is online anonymity worth it?

    I personally feel that if you would not say it if people knew it was you then you should not say it at all.

    Poll: Is online anonymity worth it?

    Networks like TOR make people very difficult to catch. Police operations are often unable to get them because of a lack of resources and laws to take the needed steps. The only way to crack down on things like Tor would be to try to keep it off the surface net and make the use of it a federal...

    Poll: Is online anonymity worth it?

    With the invention of the internet people have the ability to do things almost completely anonymously. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Well I know that it can be for the good but it can also be used for evil. The real question is the good that people can accomplish worth...
