Likely true, but the point is that Angry Birds was in no way the original, despite many people not knowing that it's a shameless ripoff of an older game (I'm sure that Crush the Castle likely wasn't the first one either, but it proves this exact style of gamepaly existed before crappy mobile...

Why is this only news as of today, which is a full 10 DAYS after the supposed deadline? I would have contacted them, as I had caught all 151... Or maybe this itself is the April Fools prank? People waste their time catching all the Pokemon, and there turns out to be a "real" prize, only...

I have a Tassimo, which as others have stated, uses a proprietary pod format. I can actually justfiy its existence in my kitchen though. The difference between it and a Keurig is that it reads water temperature/pressure/amount instructions from a barcode on the pod which allows it to make...

Most graphics cards will output audio just fine through HDMI (except my old GTX 285 that made a loud pop sound our of the speakers every 5 seconds regardless of whether or not I had sound enabled...) NVidia and AMD cards typically install a virtual audio adapter along with the graphics driver...

I agree that analog sticks are not adequate for any 'mouse-oriented' genres. I myself prefer keyboard and mouse for such games. But a controller should have proper buttons for just about every other genre (you know, the ones that typically play BETTER with a controller.) I still don't see why...

I did read the Team Meat review. But what I got from that was that while you can map face buttons to the pad, there's no region defining where your "button" is. It looks to be a touch-based mapping, rather than a click/press/button-based mapping, as there is only one clickable target under the...

My initial reaction to this thing was a resounding "NO!". It just seemed like another touch-oriented device furthering my theory/tinfoil-hat-fear that the industry is waging a 'war on buttons' and eventually all we'll be left with is sloppy inaccurate touch controls with no tactile feedback...

Agreed. It doesn't matter how sophisticated the graphics processor gets; I still hate mobile gaming. If for no other reason than the bloody touch controls (but there are other reasons.) The argument could be made that this chipset could be thrown into a device like the Ouya or that a...

I believe Snotnarok's referring to Ubisoft's draconian "limited installs" DRM they used to use before introducing their Steam clone, UPlay. This was a dig at Ubisoft, not GoG. Edit: Oops, llafnwod already answered this and I missed that post. Nevermind.

Despite my completely anit-censorship views, I actually kind of hope this guy wins. Apple has clogged up the courts with so many frivolous lawsuits that it would be nice bit of schadenfreude to see them lose a case this stupid and have to pay this guy a large sum in damages. On the other...

There's a difference between carrier unlocking and rooting/jailbreaking. Carrier unlocking is usually accomplished by using a built-in feature that allows the user to enter an unlock code to lift the phone's hardware-level restriction to block SIM cards from other carriers. Generally, doing...

I know the collector's edition is completely sold out across North America from pre-orders alone (At least at Gamestop/EB Games and Amazon), but I don't know how many collector's editions they're actually producing. Still looks positive though. Unfortunately I'm going to have to wait a while...

H: People who may or may not have the original PS1 version but would like to play it at a higher resolution with better textures (either via the included touch-ups or community mods). This game has NOT aged well graphically and it's at the point where low low-poly low-detail 3D of the PS1...

It's been difficult to find information so far but from what I've read across various sites, the game is going to be an upscaled "original pixels" re-release with extra features that's been optimized for modern hardware. (Think Sonic CD for Steam/PSN/XBLA/Android/iOS.) They're supposedly...
