    Marketing Research Firm Challenges EA's "All Digital Future"

    Wow, so EA has released figures for time periods that have yet to happen, count me impressed. Can I borrow your time machine this weekend? I want to go play Half-Life 3 for a bit. Don't worry, I'll return it yesterday.

    Battlefield 3 on Xbox Looks Awful Without HD Texture Pack

    Thanks for confirmation, they had me worried for a sec there. As far as I can tell from other forums, the texture pack runs fine from a USB stick as well, with no harddrive necessary. I haven't done it myself, but all signs so far point to this being true. 2GB sticks are under $5. 16GB...

    Battlefield 3 on Xbox Looks Awful Without HD Texture Pack

    Jeebus, much wailing and gnashing of teeth over not much here. Calm down. Surely those people without hard drive space have a spare 2GB usb stick lying around? I just bought a 16GB stick for $20 for all my xbox map packs and arcade games. Those of you spending $120 for a new hard drive...

    Gears 3 Won't Leave You Hanging, But it Won't Tell the Whole Story

    I always assumed it was from the extreme high gravity of the planet. It's mentioned nowhere in the game (but really, how often do you go around mentioning the gravity on Earth?), but it would explain- 1> their stocky body shape and ridiculous muscles 2> their total inability to jump 3>...

    294: Grandpa Holds the Cards

    My 60yo mum berates me for still playing computer games, yet I know for a fact she plays Solitaire for longer time periods than I play Battlefield. She considers me a games addict and yet sees no connection whatsoever to her gaming habits. But I'm proud of her! She's getting better at...

    Father-Son Duo Sets New Joust World Record

    I really liked the Kong movie despite thinking I had no interest in the subject. I liked all the people in it, even the "bad guy" Billy. Whether you understand their motivations for playing these old games or not, you can't deny they've got Mad Skills! These are real worldwide records, people...
