    Methane Booms Could Make Economy Go Bust

    The temperature of the earth has been hotter than it is today and would have risen to a higher point some time in the future regardless of whether human civilisation was present or not. If the prediction turns out to be true that all the methane will escape into the atmosphere then there is...

    Is there a way to turn off Steam trading cards?

    So as the title says does anybody know if there is a way to turn off the Steam trading card drops? They are starting to get annoying now that so many games are incorporating them and I don't particularly like them blocking up my inventory (call it OCD or whatever, but I like to have as many...

    Poll: Could Bioware actually pull off a good Warhammer 40k game?

    I would have thought that Sega would have got their hands on most of the 40k rights when they brought Relic, but if Bioware did manage to acquire Space Marine I have absolutely no faith that they would be able to make a good game out of it.

    GameStop Cuts Off Xbox One Launch Day Pre-Orders

    Why in the hell would anyone buy a console day one - especially the xbox considering the problems it had this gen. Surely people cant be buying it for packaging, achievements, etc. If i do get a console this gen i will be waiting as long as needed to know whether or not it will actually work for...

    Origin fires back with great summer deals

    I cant see any sales on the page you linked (at least in the uk). In fact all I can see is the price rises they are adding to all their new games in the UK - "Battlefield 4 : £55 ($83)", "Fifa 14 Ultimate Edition: £50 ($75)", "Sim City: £45 ($68)". Virtually everything else is still at full...

    Steam Summer Sale Goes Live

    Crafting badges/gaining levels (so collecting cards) also gets you random game discount coupons. Or at least it did until a few days before the sale started when they started dropping mysterious cards instead, which now turned into cards for the steam summer sale badge. I'm waiting for someone...

    It has begun. The Steam Summer Sale

    I rather like Endless Space myself, so I do recommend you get it if it is 66% off. I'm thinking of taking a look at the newest Tomb Raider, but apart from that i'm in the same boat as you with their not being much I want/need to buy. I voted dishonoured on that poll thing even though I already...

    Next gen EA games to cost £55

    Hahahahahahahaha. I would say I would just wait until the Steam sales, but since EA don't sell on Steam (or have any Origin sales that are anywhere near as good) then I guess I just wont be buying their games, because there is no way in hell that I will be paying £55 for a video game. Also out...

    Steam Summer Sale

    Goddamit I can see, but I cant buy due to problems with Steam. Hopefully things will work a bit better in a few days when the number of people trying to access it decreases.

    Grand Theft Auto V Gameplay Trailer Debuts

    Looks great so far from what i've seen in that trailer - really hope it comes to PC. Hopefully it will be coming to PC and hopefully this time they won't make it a crappy unplayable port like they did with GTA 4.

    The Last of Us Sells Over 1 Million Units Per Week

    Its great that it is selling well, but i really dont think it needs a sequel. It works well as a standalone game in my opinion and doesnt really need another chapter added to it.

    Vivendi May Siphon Funds From Activision Blizzard

    I imagine the only way for A-B to buy themselves would be if Vivendi became super desperate to sell them and just massively cut the asking price to a fraction of what it is now. There are very few companies in the world who would be able to put the billions of pounds necessary together in order...

    Electronic Arts Faces Anger Over Major Price Hikes in India

    On the one hand this seems like EA will just be cutting out millions of Indians from being able to acquire their products and so they will now get nothing from them instead of $16. However on the other hand they will still make plenty of money there considering that according to various sources...

    Poll: UK Buyers Screwed by Next-Gen Prices

    £55 is not beyond the realms of possibility. Afterall pc games are creeping up to £45 these days (see Rome 2 until they dropped it to £30, which i assume was because it wasnt selling particularly well and a few others like CoD on release. Console games have traditionally been £10 more expensive...

    Rename yourself. Why not?

    If you are in the UK you can already change your name at anytime with no paperwork or anything. I could just change my name right now and start using it, but since my name is awesome I won't be doing it. The most I would consider is changing my title - I am just waiting to receive my knighthood...
