    Get SimCity 2000 For Free On PC Right Now!

    EA like to look through my porn stash via mandatory spyware and distribute my preferences to advertising companies! Repeat the mantra! EA Worst Company of America! EA Worst Company of America! Or (and this is apparently shaky ground here) people can dip their toes into the lake inhabited...

    The Task At Hand

    Seriously though? Fuck bears. One of the Hinterlands camps, there's consistently, like, three of them camped right outside near the camp entrance. Step out of camp and bam! Two bear encounter, minimum. Maybe 2 lyrium smugglers as icing on the cake.

    Halo Master Chief Collection Tides Fans Over for Halo 5 With Multiplayer Beta - Update

    They said during the conference that they would include all multiplayer maps that were released, as is (so about 100+ maps). This I believe is on top of the Halo 2 Anniversary treatment. The main conceit of the pack is that they're fitting all 4 games on a single BD and you can seamlessly...

    Rainbow Six: Siege Debuts With Intensive Competitive Mutliplayer

    Yeah it's staged as hell but there are definitely hardcore sim players out there that absolutely talk like that. "Pre-alpha" probably means a pre-vis trailer like the original one for Patriots was, but at the very least with an E3 showing it means they're seriously committed to putting this...

    Lara Croft Returns in Rise of the Tomb Raider

    Absolutely pleased that they're pushing the PTSD angle, as they should. This reveal was awesome watching it live.

    Xbox One Games With Gold Needs "Subscription Based Access"

    The XBO platform (or any current-gen platform, for that matter) has a tiny library of games going on at the moment. If it was a for-keeps system like it is for 360 the subscription would cannibalize actual sales off any game. For the 360 (which is still for-keeps), it gets away with the...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Box Art Revealed

    I personally think the active attempt to shape the dragon motif seems a little more awkward this time around. I suppose the dark area framing the dragon head above is supposed to represent the tear in the Fade - which is cool I guess, but the problem for me is that there isn't a whole lot of...

    Zero Punctuation: Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes - $40 Demo

    When Stephen Fry himself likes the game, you know shit's legit. =P Metal Gear Solid? I mean what? Unbelievable craftsmanship and storytelling. Too big an adrenalin rush for one my age... Phew! ? Stephen Fry (@stephenfry) March 24, 2014...

    Steam's 2013 Autumn Sale Begins

    Yeah once again I'm not particularly an impulse buyer, so for most of the sale I'll probably see games that I either don't really care for or games that I do care for that I already bought about 3 sales ago. Oh well~ Might always be one or two that I'll like by accident =P

    Xbox One Privacy Statement Explains Kinect's Data Collection

    ITT: People unironically believe that Microsoft is some sort of single Orwellian entity striving to repress people with... advertising?

    Microsoft Testing Eyewear Similar to Google Glass

    Yeah for all the hate Microsoft gets, you honestly get the good with the bad with their hardware, just like any other similar company. At the very least, Microsoft peripherals are solid. The 360 controller was well-designed, the Microsoft keyboards and mice are actually pretty good (at the...

    Kojima On MGS 5's Quiet: I Meant Sexy, Not Erotic

    Did anyone remember when Cecile Cosima Caminandes showed up in Peace Walker, wearing pretty much nothing but her underwear? She'd escaped from a prison, where her clothes were taken from her - perhaps as a fanservice thing, but also because her chances of surviving out in the jungle with nary a...

    Xbox One/SmartGlass Improve Second Screen Functionality

    These days, I play a little personal game where I go onto the comments section for every Xbox One article here on the Escapist and count the number of posts it takes for someone to offer their incredibly original and fresh take on how this new revelation makes the Xbox One console objectively...

    PS4 Launching in Japan in February

    It's also important to note that there's been a general slump in home console sales in Japan, and at the moment it's really mostly been about the 3DS - in other words, the flavor of the month (or rather, the flavor of this coming quarter) has been the handheld market with which Sony has barely...
