I'm pretty sure during their E3 presentation, Bethesda said you could use the app independent of the Pip Boy replica. The Pip Boy is just a smartphone case and doesn't contain any functionality on its own.

This build is a budget gaming system. It will run your games at 60fps if you use medium quality settings and less than 1080p resolution. You have to make sacrifices somewhere if you're going to save money. CPU: AMD FX6300 ($99.99) Six cores running at 3.5GHz. Motherboard: Gigabyte...

Another "Alpha Protocol?" Yes. Please. Played the first one through four times and had a blast each time. Obsidian knows how to make compelling stories and great RPGs. Now, if they can just fix the technical issues...

Basing business decisions on petty likes and dislikes is not a long-term recipe for success.

Defeat the evil marketers and get exactly what you want at all gift-giving occasions... Gift. Card. That's what I ask for and that's what I get. Between me and my kids this year, we scored a total of nine games, all ones we want.

Activision/Kotick are totally in the right on this one. Yes, they had canceled the project and were going to write the money off; but, once Double Fine went to EA, then Activision is basically demanding EA take on the debt related to the game. Activision not getting their money back is...

If Khan were to be in the reboots, the movie would be a rough remake of "Space Seed," not a remake of ST2:WoK, so it could work. That said, I am not a big fan of the reboot because they've turned Scotty into a clown and Bones into an afterthought (and that despite Urban's dead-on Kelley...

Disclaimer: I am a PS3 fanboy and am planning to buy at least one set of Move controllers on the 17th. That said, I find Sony's Move marketing to be a big Win.

Two years ago I had a choice between building a new gaming rig or buying a HDTV & PS3. I bought the HDTV and PS3 and never fire up my PC for gaming any more except for retro sessions of Age of Mythology. I'm not even tempted by Steam sales...

Increasing social acceptance of video games will come as the population ages and the true casual game market expands. Nintendo is not going to be the company that pushes this market, they are still a traditional gaming company. People play Facebook games and games on their iPods/iPads/Droids for...
