    PC Zone Closing After 17 Years

    I used to read this religiously, about 10 years ago. Its hard to justify paying 10 euro for a magazine now though, considering what you can get what you need online for free. Pity, because the net isnt quite the same.

    Blizzard?s Unreal Real ID

    To be fair to the realid system, its all opt-in, you still have the regular wow friends list thats all anonymous, and realid is just another layer on top of that, its not like it emails your boss automatically that you played wow for 18 hours yesterday and slept it off in the backoffice. The...

    The Girl With a Sensitive Heart

    The strange thing about war games is, do they provide the experience that many young men who signed up during ww2 thought they would get ? Before Vietnam (any maybe afterwards) there was a great amount of machismo about signing up and doing your part and the big adventure, but nobody realised...

    "Free" Dungeons & Dragons Online Revenues Up 500 Percent

    Free to play is a good idea I think, the MMO market is a new creature, and its quite unlike conventional video games, people arent going to play more than 2 mmos at once (and more than likely just one), its a hard sell to try and convince somebody to drop all there tough work in one mmo for...

    Sony Invades Vietnam with PlayStations

    Its the same in many other poorer nations. The manufacturers might say its due to shipping costs and other factors. I believe its because if somebody in these countrys has $300 to spend then another $200 isnt going to matter. Rich / poor gulf and all that.

    Ubisoft CEO Explains the Avatar Effect

    Hes right, it was a boneheaded time to release it. Nobody is going to play a tie in before the movie is out, at best you might be confused by the plot, so that rules out the Christmas market.. At the worst you`ll ruin the movie before you`ve seen it. So now its January, and the only thing...

    Doomsday Clock Moved Away From Utter Destruction

    What a pile of rubbish, the world was never further away from mutual destruction than now. How can they compare the arms race of the cold war to the limited short ranged nuclear weapons that the North Koreans or Iranians may acquire. To say that the doomsday clock is a popularist failure is an...

    Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 Now on Steam

    AVP2 is the game of choice though, AVP`s plot was non existent, where as the sequel has a brilliant set of intertwining plots.

    Avatar: The Game Puts the Hurt on Ubisoft

    I really enjoyed the movie, so I obviously wasn't going to ruin the memory of it by playing some half baked action game. One of the amazing parts of the movie were how well the navi were animated, one look at the back of the game looks like somebody first attempt in a 10 year old 3d modelling...

    Reporter Breaks "Unbreakable" Phone at CES

    The funny part is that he couldnt actually take the phone if he did win it, BBC have loads of rules like that as they are paid for by the TV licence fee.

    Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

    Brilliant, I loved solid soap joke. You pretty much hit the nail on the head, there were some brilliant parts in cod 2, but then all of sudden it gets torn to bits by yet another "oh I have been hit by a bullet and everythings gone blurry" moment, or a few other over used cliches like the...

    224: So Many Games, So Little Time

    Im a bit tired of this rhetoric from people asking for less content for the same money, although I guess shorter games tend to be more polished. There is no reason you cant complete a 30 hour game by simply slugging through it slowly, I did so with FF7 on psp recently, what a fantastic game it...
