I sure hope not. Caps are just the first issue... not being able to play your games when the net is down is even more major. Though caps do have to die, that's for sure. Haha, Phantom. Also known as Kyle Bennett's worst headache ever. The difference here though is Valve has been...

Barely two weeks ago, we finally found some hard evidence that Valve was looking to create a video game console, but who knew that the company already has working prototypes and has been hard at work testing them? In talking to Engadget, that factoid was unveiled, and I must say, I'm impressed...

Ahh Samsung, you sure do know how to take a $1 billion settlement case against you in stride. The company, which last fall poked fun at Apple's stereotypical customers, has done it again - this time prefacing the launch for the iPhone 5. This time around, Samsung goes a bit further, amping...

When seeking out a new mobile game, there are two factors I'm a sucker for; puzzle mechanics and lots of color. So it's of little surprise that months ago, I stumbled on Color Fusion for Android, a game I've been meaning to talk about since then. It's a simple game overall, but accomplishes its...

If that 20GB video you just filmed is taking too long to copy over to your PC, don't fret - there's a solution en route. Looking past that fact that you'll need a new camera, the CompactFlash Association has just announced its CFast 2.0 draft specification, which puts CF cards behind a SATA...

Exactly. If companies like EA would continue to allow their acquisitions to continue doing what made them so popular in the first place, then there'd be a far smaller risk of a shut-down. I sure hope BioWare doesn't actually go down that path.

Reviews for Apple's latest iPhone have begun to trickle in, and the general consensus is that it's a bit more impressive than the launch specs and stage presentation alluded to. CNET says that "everything changed just a bit", and while one or two upgrades might not be that noticeable, when the...

Sony's PlayStation 3 might be growing long in the tooth capabilities-wise, but Sony is never against updating its beloved console to either coax its fans into buying a second one, or finally getting those hold-outs to join in on the fun. In 2009, the company released a "slim" version of the...

Interesting about the difficulty... you're playing solo for the time-being, right? Matt commented on that also, so I am wondering if it really is all about the class you play solo. I only played 20 minutes so I can't comment quite well. Will be putting in some heavy gametime this weekend. I am...

It's kind of sad, I admit, and rather amazing that a company like EA would try to take over and mess up BioWare's proven formula. I never understand when companies do that.

Haha! Meh, give me GW2 any day. I was always tempted by this sequel but have a personal vendetta with NCsoft. It does look good though, and the world is just... amazing. Couple of mechanics I don't care for, but overall it looks solid. Will consider giving it a shot when it drops in price or...

Guild Wars, the hugely successful subscription-free fantasy MMO, now has its first sequel: Guild Wars 2. The developers promise a divergence from traditional MMO formulas, including those used by the original. Does this new direction hearld a new era of how we play MMOs, or is this an experiment...

I think I'm starting to understand things a bit better, and what originally led you to your shotgun statement. It seems to me that you were expecting Borderlands to be a straight-forward FPS game, where any weapon can be immediately wielded (like CoD). Borderlands is instead an FPS + RPG. You...

The original indie bundle is back and better then ever with the Humble Bundle 6. This is a return to the core ways of doing things for the Humble Bundle group, as the past few offerings have been lackluster at best, in terms of interest. The Humble Android Bundle 3 only generated $820,000, and...

Microsoft has detailed the pricing structure for its upcoming Office 2013 suite of products, and much like Adobe with its recent Creative Suite launch, the company is hoping you'll opt for a subscription package. Real bad - to the point where the company seems to be going out of its way to make...

Dude... just wow, haha. I am not sure how you confused Borderlands for a war simulator, but it's unfortunate. If you went into it open-minded and didn't expect it to be just another FPS, I think you'd come out with a different impression. As for the ammo types, I don't recall playing a single...

Alright, you've obviously never played the original. Borderlands, like most aRPGs, has a leveling system. You start at level 1, and within minutes you're level 2. Weapons have level requirements built into them. You can't be level 19 and wield a level 20 weapon - weapon type does not matter. If...

BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have jointly announced their retirements from the game industry today. Muzyka will go on to invest in and mentor new entrepreneurs, while Zeschuck plans to go on and drink a lot of beer and putting that fun to video with interviews and other ideas...

I agree, that's the problem, heh heh. That style of gameplay just doesn't do a whole lot for me, and it's frustrating when you're doing REALLY well and someone dies and it ends things quick.

Not sure if serious.
