    Crytek removes Sandbox Editor from retail Crysis 2, even though it was in beta leak.

    Few people have already gotten their preorders, and it's confirmed there is no editor on the disk. http://www.crymod.com/thread.php?threadid=67530&sid=33d2a72cc660ace562c7b8f1651a88af http://www.mycrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=10208 So the only way now people can make new maps...

    “I’m not the same person I was when I started, and BioWare isn’t the same company. "

    Interesting post from the lead designer of Dragon Age Origins, saying how he was not hopeful for the direction DA2 was going in to begin with. http://blog.brentknowles.com/2010/08/15/bioware-brent-year-10-fall-2008-summer-2009/ Also, a really defensive interview from the lead developer of...

    Battlefield 3 64 Players on PC only and Jets confirmed

    http://blogs.battlefield.ea.com/ Let's hope Frostbite 2 delivers better visuals than BC2. I guess this implies that the PC version is going to be quite different, as the maps will have to be different than the console versions to fit the larger player counts.

    Steam Free Weekend: Shattered Horizon Play for free this weekend on Steam

    I've have this game for a while now, but it's totally worth a few rounds to see if you like it. It's a breath of fresh air after all the crappy modern warfare cod clones we've been getting lately. It's also on sale for $10 this weekend on steam. It's essentially a zero gravity shooter. It's...

    Games on Android suck why?

    So I'm debating between an Iphone 4 and a Droid X, and while using my friend's original Droid I've noticed in the Android market the quality of games is simply awful compared to the Iphone. There doesn't seem to be any explanation for this. Both the 3GS and Droid have capable PowerVR SGX...

    Cryostasis: One of the best narratives in videogaming and perhaps any media for $3.24

    First of all, it's on sale on steam for such an insanely low price that even if you end up not liking it it won't be much of a loss. This game won Gamespot's best story of 2009 over games like Dragon Age, and rightfully so. I bought it a few months ago for $20, and it's atmosphere and story...

    Your thoughts on Logitech Z5500

    It's time for a speaker upgrade from my Logitech X-230 2.1 system which I paid around $45 for. I've been pretty happy with these speakers but I've been looking for a good upgrade around $150 to 200. I've been wondering if wattage makes any difference in terms of audio quality at low volume...

    I have one extra 2.1 system that is laying around. I already have a pair of Logitech 2.1 speakers connected to my Realtek onboard audio. The audio card supports up to 5.1 audio. Is it possible to somehow turn this setup into a 4.1 or 4.2 audio setup?

    Interesting Crysis Maps

    Be sure to get Crymod Launcher first to make playing custom maps much easier Strange Island The title sums up the map pretty well. It's heavily scripted and just plain odd in some areas. look at the youtube video of it to get an idea. Especially watch from 5:45 to 6:02. Yes that guy is...

    Is UT3 Worth it

    So I'm a huge fan of the UT games, UT99 much more so than UT2004, and it seems this game is getting a lot of bad press and poor sales. I enjoyed the beta demo a lot, but I'm a bit hesitant to buy it. I usually play with bots on any UT game, not online, so the online community isn't too much of...

    Mods for HL2

    I just picked up Orange Box with the Best Buy deal. Anyone know of any good free mods that are worth downloading? A lot of them seem to require HL2: Deathmatch and CS:S, so I can't download those. Insurgency seems pretty good.

    Which one to buy for X360

    So Halo 3 is starting to get slightly repetitive after playing 500 matches online and reaching rank 43. :P At this point, both COD4 and AC6 seem like very fun games. Now, since COD4 is also coming out on the PC, I would probably get it for that due to the various advantages(32...

    What do you guys think of Mass Effect

    It's coming out around this November. I've never played a console RPG before, but from what I'm seeing it looks pretty amazing. The amount of dialog options and the interesting characters that you encounter make it the next big thing on the 360, and I especially love RPGs that are more Sci-Fi...

    PC Game of the week - Unreal

    Well, I saw the I76 thread and I just had to make one about my favorite PC game of all time. :) I still play this game and it's many user made map packs to this day, and with 2048x2048 user made textures, the game looks surprisingly good for a 1998 engine. Only problem is it has issues with...

    Which XBLA game do like the most?

    So I have 1600 MS Points from a card I got at BB. That's enough for two arcade games I think. Right now the only arcade game I really play is Geometry Wars. I'm thinking that Worms might be a good buy, since I enjoyed the PC version. I also tried out the trial of Prince of Persia and...
