    Preview: Total War: Shogun 2

    Good to hear that they're finally including a more robust multiplayer in this series. I just hope they don't go too nuts with the RPG elements. So far, they have served to enhance the game, but I worry that they might bog this one down. Still looking forward to it, though, I may even do...

    Blizzard Attacks StarCraft II Cheat Developers

    Much as I would love to portray Blizzard as Goliath to the cheat-makers' David, what they are doing is not only legal, but kind of right. As far as I can tell, they are going after the guys who made money by selling these hacks and trainers. If they were giving them away, I'd say this is...
