    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 DRM Detailed

    @ Khell_Sennet And that illustrates why I don't buy many Steam games! I'm moving next week and I don't know the internet situation in the house I'm moving into. Hope that doesn't happen to me!

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 DRM Detailed

    This DRM seems fine. If you have internet, you can activate online and play without the disk. If you don't have internet when installing the game, you can activate with the disk and put up with the disk check. You can even activate online and later on decide to reinstall using the...

    The Needles: How Dumb Do They Think We Are?

    I'm not replying for Shamus but I will for myself. Firstly, you're not perfect yourself. In your list, Far Cry 2's DRM is now patched out. I hate on Bioshock (of which I own 2 copies...) because it still requires the disk in drive, several megabytes executable download, and a serial...

    Modern PC Games

    You're definitely missing out if you're avoiding modern games altogether. Mass Effect and Dragon Age are superb, The Saboteur is an underrated game, and indie gaming is going strong. Name a few modern titles you've played and I'll see if I can suggest any others you might like.

    The Needles: How Dumb Do They Think We Are?

    Having written this blog article http://potentialgamer.com/2010/01/25/bioshock-2-swims-with-sharks/ I (obviously) totally agree with Andy's article, especially the conclusion. It is a "barefaced switcheroo" and I too am concerned about the un-vocal majority that seem to think this is ok...
