    Total War: Rome 2 System Requirements Revealed

    I hate when they list VRAM size instead of giving a rough model reference. Seriously, there are cards with incredibly shitty clock speeds that still have well over 1GB VRAM.

    Microsoft: "Tiled Resources" Key To Xbox One Graphics

    Im sorry but is this actually new? I mean I could be wrong but I swear this tech is as old as 3D gaming itself (hyperbole, obviously). And whats more I dont see how this is really a hardware specific thing as it sounds more like its handled by the rendering code as opposed to any specific...

    Zeno Clash II Review - Lovably Absurd

    Ill probably pick this up at some point, but god damn my backlog is so huge right now... He made a video telling people that the game has severe FOV issues because some people actually get a form of motion sickness with limited FOV's. Thats hardly crusading against it, more of a "buyer...

    Update: Xi3 Opens "Piston" Steam Box Pre-Orders

    For the purpose of the console though its a much, MUCH better idea to use SSDs. Theyre faster so loading game assets is faster, have a much longer lifespan, are infinitely more quiet (no moving parts) and of course, much much smaller. Personally Im just glad they're not using cheap flash...

    EA Refuses to Bring Crysis 3 to Wii U

    I never really thought of the Crysis series as games anyway, more as tech demos, so I wouldn't even consider buying one on a console.

    Fez is Coming to New Platforms

    Phil Fish, author of such memorable material as: and (in reply to a question on his opinion of japanese games): He makes one pretentious indie game that the journos gobble up as usual because indie is the new black and he thinks he's king of everything and the savior of the medium...

    Microsoft Develops Accurate Wrist-Mounted Motion Controller

    Oh hey beat me to it. Yeah seriously that thing is amazing. And the best part? You can already pre-order the damn thing, and its what, like $80 or something? Last time I checked a chunky old 360 pad cost that much (Australian at least) so I cant see MS making anything that could really...

    The Big Picture: The Prophesy of Freakazoid

    Oh man Freakazoid, Having only just watched it maybe a year or two ago now It didnt even occur to me just how out of place that kind of comedy would be in the 90's. I mean hell, the only reason I started watching it was BECAUSE of internet forums and such, so man kinds slow downfall in to...

    Sony May Have Announced The Last Guardian Too Early

    Honestly Im just glad that there are still publishers willing to fund such enormous and ambitious titles. TF2 was 9 years or something right?
