Kane & Lynch: Dead Men Review (PS3)
Summary [6.5 out of 10] Kane & Lynch is an idea for a good game, wrapped in 2 obnoxious technical mechanics (controls and cover), last-gen graphics and obnoxiously repetitive/punishing level design and gameplay elements. Introduction I’ll admit, I’ve been tempted by the marketing of Kane & Lynch and wanted to get it, even after all the bad reviews [...]

NOTE: This article may invoke feelings of “No Shit Sherlock” in some of you, I’d encourage you to post those feelings as comments… maybe even a “You are a FAG!” would help… those are always appreciated and helpful to everyone reading.

Thursday, February 28, 2008
Interesting blurb, it looks like if you decide to all aspects of GTA 4, you are looking at around 100 hrs of gameplay… the trick is that “side missions” and “main missions” are going to be harder to tell apart… so you might just end up playing most of the game without realizing it. I almost [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Well it looks like Chris Hunkele was right, Gears of War 2 is coming and the seed came out of GDC as expected. It’s looking like a November release, Xbox 360 exclusive, will graphically push the Xbox fairly hard, and as a result, we will all have RRoDs to deal with right after launch. Ohhhhhh BURN Update [...]

Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Brad Agdern sent in news that Activision has offered a complete $132 refund for Guitar Hero III for the Wii or a remastered replacement disk for folks that were put out by the audio on the Guitar Hero III not being Dolby Surround even though it was advertised as such. A pretty nice move considering the [...]

Hrrm… job posting from Gamasutra suggests that Amazon is working on downloadable game service to compete with Valve’s Steam, EA’s service and isn’t there another already? Direct to Drive or something? I have no idea why Console are so popular.. people LOVE 9 competing choices for the same service… it’s SUPER AWESOME *tugs on hair*

Monday, February 18, 2008
Whilst trolling the interwebs for new games coming out of the 2008 Game Developers Conference, I happened to notice Epic and Microsoft getting cozy together on the floorspace. And after doing some looking, it looks like Amazon has a product page for “Gears of War 2″… I wonder if they know something? If It’s true i [...]

Friday, February 15, 2008
In a correction to yesterday’s story about NVIDIA integrating the PhysX engine work from the AGEIA purchase, Laurence Hartje sends in news that it looks like the physics engine is being ported to CUDA, NVIDIA’s software platform for executing generic code on a GPU. So it’s possible when the time is right, that this upgrade will [...]

Thursday, February 14, 2008
Grant Gochnauer sends along some pretty cool gaming news, Shack reports that NVIDIA confirmed they will be integrated the PhysX physics engine technology from the AGEIA purchase onto their graphics cards. The one thing I’m curious about is… how? These things weren’t small to start off with, looking like smallish video cards as it was: and they [...]
