    Master of Orion Preview - Back to the Future

    Well, my excitement upon starting this article quickly died when I realized how empty and unfocused it was. Even for a preview article, this was extremely heavy on the filler and light on any real details! Nearly half the article, is dedicated to background info, personal anecdotes, and such...

    Xbox One With a Side of Fries? Hong Kong Xbox Bundle Includes Hamburger

    Triple-O's is indeed a chain from Vancouver, Canada, not Hong Kong. Though it does have locations in Hong Kong. It's the fast-food brand of White Spot. I had a look at the (very brief) article Bogos cited... I don't see any mention there of Triple-O's being local. It seems Bogos added that...

    Z Nation Premiere Review: Back To Basics

    I think "needs polish" is a being very, very kind. The show falls short in every respect, but most damningly in the writing and acting departments (which is painfully bad throughout). Characters are flat and archetypal, and they behave neither believably nor consistently, more than once...

    How to Get Your War Z Refund From Steam

    It does feel like a quick rip. It largely plays off DayZ, but without the large map and sense of exploration. It plays even more like a straight PVP game than DayZ, which is saying something, and has a similar issue with hacks and exploits. Many of the features that we expected in the beta are...

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Review

    Ah, I haven't played it since beta. Was really turned off by the team limits and wrote the game off.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Review

    I didn't notice any mention in the comments or the review about how CS:GO matches are limited to 10 players. That's quite a departure from either 1.6 or CS:S.

    The Walking Dead Crashes Lifeless Romantic Comedy Movie

    I wouldn't worry too much about being the target of this sort of thing. My money's on the audience itself being part of the "prank." Setting aside the liability issues that the marketers and the theater would face, there are some technical oddities with the video itself. During the wide-angle...

    GamersGate CEO Thinks Buying Impulse Could Be the Wrong Move for GameStop

    Impulse::Reactor would be nice, IF we have had any news about it within the last year. There simply haven't been any updates, and Brad is a man who likes post about what he's up to. I'd hate to say it, but I can't help but wonder if the botched Elemental release forced him to shift assets away...

    Crysis 2 Is a PC Game First, Console Game Second, Claims Crytek

    Been playing it since yesterday morning/afternoon. It's... ... it's OK... ...Well it's a straight out console shooter. Clunky ported controls, simplified (dumbed-down) powers, multiplayer ripped directly out of Modern Warfare (but isn't done quite as well), very small, uninspired and...

    Kid Becomes "Little Zangief" in Response to Bullying

    It would certainly cut down on the bullying.

    RIFT Community Event - Details for the Weekend

    You do get a feel for which rifts and invasions you can take, and which you need help with, so keep at it. Those mystery items are "artifacts." Right click them and it opens the collections dialogue and add it to a set. Doing so unlocks titles, and grants you miscellaneous goodies (gold...
