    Microsoft's E3 Show Will Focus on Games

    I've got to think that anything from a third party publisher will be a timed exclusive. Can't see any third party wanting to cut off from 50% of the market unless there really are big bucks from MS. Also, some of these exclusives are going to be arm wavy and dancy games and there will be a...

    Bethesda VP Defends Day-One DLC

    Reading between the lines, what Hines is saying here is: I do not believe games are priced high enough. $60 is not enough for our full game, $75 is a more realistic price. To get away with that publishers break the game into two parts and charge the full game price for 80% of the game. Then...

    Future of PS3 Skyrim DLC Uncertain

    Reading between the lines I think what he is saying is "we tried it and it sort of works, but we can't be bothered to do a full PS3 port." I only have 23 years experience as a software developer, but surely every save file is different on PC and XBox 360 not just on PS3. As a s/w dev I know...

    Ubisoft Puts PC Piracy Rate at 93-95%

    I never buy Ubi games on PC due to the DRM. However, it is my understanding (from reading blogs and posts on the Interwebs) that a large number of people who actually buy the game from Ubi (i.e. NOT pirates) are being counted a pirates because they also download and use a crack to make the game...

    Blow: Consoles Are Handicapped by Corporate Culture

    Plus one in agreement. PS3 XMB works perfectly for what it was designed to do, which is getting you into the game/music/video of your choice in the quickest way possible. I wish they had used the XMB for Vita too. The new navigation system on Vita is clunky just like what you said about the 360...

    Blizzard Reinstates Diablo III Limits to Battle Bots

    You could map up to 10 skills to any key you want (0-9 by default) plus an alternate skill for the right-click on the tab key in TL1. That's lots more flexible than the maximum of 4 additional skills in D3.

    Activision and IBM Protest Potential Xbox Ban

    if you read the article here: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/microsoftpri0/2018119178_german_judge_rules_against_microsoft_in_patent_fig.html it basically says that they cannot agree how much Microsoft should pay Motorola for use of the licensed technology in the Xbox 360. Motorola want...

    British Teachers Still Blaming Games for Schoolyard Violence

    I'd like to know what the reason for all the "hitting, hurting and thumping" was when I was a kid. Video games hadn't been invented (at least not for the masses and definitely not for kids) in the 70's when I grew up. There were a hell of a lot of Westerns and WWII films on TV and I was very...

    Tales from the Table: Chapter 11: A Tale of a Lunch Break

    Damn, I'm hungry after watching that and still another hour and a half until lunch time. I liked the way they showed the two sides of the story and how you can be deceived into thinking something good happened when you are looking at things through rose tinted glasses.

    Rumor: Cheap Components Hurting Wii U Development

    So the ones we played with at E3 were probably wired and not just tethered as we were told.
