    DirectX 12 Will be Exclusive to Windows 10

    For 1 year, you can upgrade from windows 7 and 8.1 to 10 for free. You are inventing things to be outraged about. I think people need to chill out a bit, everyone always gets so rabid with MS news. I've been using Win10 since they allowed access, not on my main PC, and as someone that...

    Leaked Windows 10 Build Reveals Xbox, Cortana Integration

    Man, there's a lot of misinformed comments here... I would recommend you just go grab of copy of Windows 10 and try it. From my experience so far it's the next OS I'll be using (currently on Win7, cos Win8 for a desktop is gross). There is a clear move away from the touch screen world of...

    SimCity Offline-Mode Patch Won't Be Arriving "Any Time Soon"

    No it's not. While it's true it doesn't have a proper single player component you can play by yourself in a private game, so you get lag in 'single player'. I don't play D3 because it's always online DRM ruins the play experience. So I wont be buying SimCity because it's always on DRM seems...

    Logitech Ditches Consoles for iPads

    Add me to the 'thank Christ I got a G27 pile' (only 2 weeks ago as well!). The MX518 I got years ago is still going strong, although I gave it to my brother. I'll probably be getting a G9X mouse to replace my Razer Imperator. While I like the Imperator, it seems to suffer occasional random...

    The Big Picture: Is The Hobbit Too Long?

    I have to disagree with Bob on this one. Almost every scene felt too long. Props to Jeffers,, he made a great post on page 3 that I agree with.

    Zero Punctuation: Far Cry 3

    I've really enjoyed FC3, it's been a damn good experience. 32 hours in and I'm only half way (Hardest Difficulty). PC users might get frustrated with the console optimised menu system. Great for a controller, pretty inefficient with a mouse and keyboard. Recommended.

    New Windows OS May Launch by 2013

    I think a lot of people here are over reacting. I highly doubt these will be ground up updates, requiring new hardware drivers etc. Everyone should just chill.

    Far Cry 3 Review

    Great news! That was one of the weakest and most frustrating parts of the game. It looks like a more complete, polished and feature added version of FC2. I'm happy with that, because while I mostly enjoyed FC2, I did feel it could have been a better game.

    Black Ops 2 PS3 Code Error Frustrates Players

    Activision, our business? To screw over the people who legitimately purchase our products.

    Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authenticators

    I created an account to post on this one. As someone who works in IT security, the case is garbage, or at least, isn't tackling the real issue. From what I understand of the Diablo III accounts getting hijacked, the log on credentials were, more often than not, obtained from Phishing scams...
