Heavy Rain Story Focused on Normal Life with Incredible Graphics
It seems that everything Quantic Dream does is meticulous, intentional and detail-oriented to say the least. When I first laid my hands on Indigo Prophecy (after nagging from a friend that it was an “awesome story-driven game”) I could tell in the first scene that things were going to be different. The game opens up [...]

Wednesday, December 3, 2008
I was a big fan of The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay; I’d even suggest that it was a sleeper hit with no one I know having played without my urging years later. Given the relatively unknown name of the studio that did the title (Starbreeze) at the time, I was more or [...]

Wednesday, December 3, 2008
Lionhead has posted a news update on their blog that the long-awaited Fable 2 patch that was suppose to grace Xbox Live in October, is finally nearing completion. While this patch focuses mostly on game-stopping glitches in missions, there is an ambiguous “Additional unspecified fixes” in the fix notes. I currently have a friend that has [...]

[Comments] SanDisk 8 GB Extreme III Compact Flash Card (SDCFX3008GA31) SanDisk 8 GB, Extreme III SDHC Card (SDSDRX38192A21) Editor’s Note: That’s a pretty damn smokin deal, SanDisk was doing a blow-out a few months ago and I [...]
Continue reading...Quad-Core Computer Confusion… Which One Should I Get?
Tuesday, December 2, 2008
Long time reader and all around great guy Gordon Walter wrote in and asked us about making heads or tails of the computer-offerings (especially the quad-core) computer offerings showing up online this holiday season. His questions were good ones and we thought it best to answer them for everyone to read. See our answers inlined below [...]

Wednesday, November 26, 2008
Every once in a while an application gets an update that is so incredible… so intense… so advanced, that it blows your mind… or is 2.6 Terabytes While this is of course just a text snaffu, it gave me a good chuckle. After applying the update to Foxit Reader I was happy to see [...]

Monday, November 24, 2008
We recently posted how to use the T-Mobile $20/mo EDGE data plan with your G1 (instead of the more expensive $24.99/mo T-Mobile G1 data plan), but it looks like this may not be all roses and flowers. As it turns out, there is another workaround similar to this using the T-Mobile “Total Internet” data plan package [...]
Continue reading...Massive Confusion Over T-Mobile G1 Data Plan “Messages”
Monday, November 24, 2008
There seems to be a significant amount of confusion online over the terms of the T-Mobile G1 $24.99/mo data plan; more specifically, what constitutes a “message” as described in their FAQ (seen above). At first hint, anyone that heard they have a “400 message” limit would assume that means a “text message” - as it has [...]

Monday, November 24, 2008
One of the new features that came with the “New Xbox Experience” update that went live recently is the ability to install games directly off their source DVDs onto the Xbox 360’s hard drive; for faster load times (in most cases). Unlike the PS3, the Xbox 360 uses a proprietary hard drive that is roughly 1100% [...]

Uhhh… did no one here see War of the Worlds? Isn’t that sort of how it starts in that movie too? Ok that first bit was mostly sarcastic, but if you are interested in this kind of stuff, and the increasing trend recently of “lights in the sky” sightings has you intrigued, Google for “2012” and if [...]

Sunday, November 23, 2008
Chris Hunkele just sent in a picture of his screen after he found a glitch on the Queen level at the end of Gears of War 2; apparently you can dive off one of the lifts at a certain point out into mid-air, and walk your way around the level without the enemy AI reacting [...]

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Update #2:As a heads up to anyone wanting to try this out, please read this post first before continuing. As you may know the new T-Mobile G1 Android phone is out, and requires some potentially expensive-ass data plans to function fully ($24.99 for unlimited “data”, but 400 messages including “SMS, IM and email” or $34.99 for [...]
