    Don't Buy Scorpio If You Don't Have 4K, Says Microsoft Boss

    Also keep in mind that even if MS were silly enough to fit the Scorpio with something equivalent to an nVidia GTX1080 it still won't give you 60 FPS at 4K, it'll easily do that at 1080p obviously, but it seems that MS definitely doesn't want people to realise that. Is it me, or is Microsoft...

    X-COM: UFO Defense - The World's Best Alien Invasion Game?

    The two biggest bugs I ran into on the research front was the one skipping Ion Armour, meaning you were stuck with Aqua Plastic until you got Magnetic Ion Armour, and the bug that prevents you from researching Vibro-blades (and their successors), which makes Lobstermen and Tassoths much harder...

    X-COM: UFO Defense - The World's Best Alien Invasion Game?

    My first experience with this franchise was with Terror From the Deep, which makes the original look like a walk in the park thanks to a bug that automatically resets the difficulty to "Impossible," that and bugs in the research tree make it a great deal harder to complete. Not to mention that...

    Fallacies of the Movie The Martian Revealed

    That is entirely dependent on which Doom game you believe. ;) For Doom 1 and 2, you are exactly right. 3 however starts you on the surface of Mars itself. :)

    8 4X Strategy Games that Every Gamer Should Play

    I actually own all but one of these. ^_^ I have played Master of Magic a long time ago, but don't have it currently. The rest I have, and enjoy a great deal.

    Did You All Forget To Be On Guard Against E3?

    I remain sceptical about all games I've seen at E3 this year. There are some that interest me, and I will follow, but I've had good experiences with not pre-ordering for a while now. :D Looking forward to learning more about XCOM 2, Dishonored 2 and No Man's Sky, but they're not getting a...

    Warhammer 40k and Glorious Dungeons in this Origins 2015 Miniatures Gallery

    Some nice looking wargaming tables indeed. A bit of a shame about the unpainted Orks (there's a reason that's usually prohibited at tournaments), but otherwise a lovely display. :)

    Can Tomorrowland Save The World?

    I've done a little research since posting this, and it appears that "Project T" is only the title for the Netherlands and Belgium. Apparently there is a potential trademark issue, as there's a huge techno festival called Tomorrowland there. So to avoid that, the movie has a different title for...

    Can Tomorrowland Save The World?

    And for some really weird reason Disney is calling the movie "Project T" in Europe... Anyone have any idea why that is? Tomorrowland makes a lot more sense in my opinion.

    8 Awesome Voice Acting Performances in Videogames

    Mark Hamill is also fantastic as the voice of "The Watcher" in the Darksiders games. It has a lot in common with the Jokers voice, but is certainly it's own entity. :) A wonderfully sarcastic commenter on your actions. And yes, Jennifer Hale is fantastic as Lady Sheppard, never touched the...

    Battling the Bentusi and the Value of Death in RTS Games

    I believe the frigates dying in seconds later in the campaign is a bug. There is a mod out (Remastered Rebalanced v0.32) that points out that the armour penetration effectiveness of the Heavy Cruiser ion beams is set to 100 (ie. it ignores ship armour entirely), where in the original game it...

    Homeworld: Cataclysm - The Real Sequel

    One small counter-point to the fighters becoming useless, all the way at the end, the Bentusi give you a rather impressive upgrade for your fighters, turning them into miniature multi-beam assault craft, that pack FAR more punch than you'd give them credit for. Sure, technically they're now...

    Homeworld Remastered Goes 4K in New Cinematics Trailer

    You get basically the complete story with Homeworld 1 and 2, only Cataclysm is missing, but that was a separate story, and published by a different publisher, Gearbox doesn't have the rights for it. As for the controls, the emphasis is not so much on the fine micro like you'd see in...

    Insane disc space required by AAA games

    This is probably mostly an American problem, rural areas in the US tend to not be hooked up to great internet, and anywhere else you're at the mercy of the telecoms that try to milk you for all you're worth while providing as little service as possible. As for me, I currently have 90 Mbps...

    Zero Punctuation: Lichdom: Battlemage

    Yahtzee, technically the "Introduction Wizard" is a Lich, and technically, so are you. You're after the guys Phylactery for one! And your character turns into a power hungry undead wizard very quickly.
