EA Cancels ‘Command & Conquer: Tiberium’
Remember that really cool first person shooter based on the Command & Conquer series? Yeah? Well it’s been canceled by EA due to issues with the overall design that couldn’t be fixed.

30. September 2008
There is no avoiding it, multiplayer support in a game, even the longest RPG, can extend a game’s life well beyond it’s initial single-player play through; even allowing the game to grow into it’s own cult status like a Halo or Counter Strike.

Chris Hunkele sent in this pretty incredible story of do-it-yourselfing from a guy that took his busted down old 50″ rear-projection-television (RPTV), took the front screen off of it, mounted it behind a rear-projection screen that was much bigger (pictured above) and turned it into a huge-screen projector for his home theater. The magic all started [...]

Epic has dropped a new set of Gears of War 2 screenshots out there for us to feed on until another dev diary or gameplay movie before the big launch. What I can gather from these new screenshots is that (A) you will be fighting a predator new kind of locust boss and (B), locust make [...]

Variety reports that Zach Snyder, the director behind ‘300′ and the upcoming adaption of ‘Watchmen’ has signed a 3 game deal with EA.

27. September 2008
This is from local artist, Preston Lee, from 1996 after an initial mix warrented some minor changes. He describes the piece as: Another punchcard-style Scream Tracker track attempting to recreate human-like musical expressiveness entirely through programmed commands. The guitar solos took a really, really long time to input. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Direct Download Local Music [...]

27. September 2008
Apparently this popped up in iTunes 7.7 but I didn’t notice it until 8.0 and I haven’t seen anyone write anything up about it online. It looks like iTunes added the ability to sync to Google Contacts (thank the gods) from iTunes when syncing your iPhone (or iPod) with your computer. Unfortunately in 7.7 when the feature [...]
