    Dead Island First Impressions

    The biggest "console port" sign to me is with the graphics. I didn't even notice that controller icon there; good catch. The control is one of the biggest problems with the game I find, though I am not entirely sure that's due to it being a console port. The way you walk is just not as fluid as...

    Dead Island First Impressions

    No kidding. I liked this quick article from Kotaku: http://kotaku.com/5837966/dead-island-goes-from-30-to-90-in-six-reviews In the first 2.5 hours I've sunk into the game so far, I haven't encountered a single game-breaking bug, or bug in general that I've noticed. The game does have some...

    Dead Island First Impressions

    I kept restarting the game because no matter what I did, I couldn't record the game in a smooth manner with either FRAPS or PlayClaw. Things would start off good, but then the game would slow down considerably. I never had a game act like this before, and I know it's not a hardware issue...

    1.7 Million Dirt 3 Steam Voucher Codes Compromised

    If you received a copy of Dirt 3 via the purchase of an AMD graphics card, you may want to pay close attention to this story. It appears that up to 1.7 million Steam voucher codes have been compromised - and not because a 'hacker' broke into a server. Rather, the codes were being stored on a...

    Intel Z68 SSD Disk Caching Showdown

    I'd double-check things like AHCI, the driver version, making sure the exact same port is used on each motherboard, checking the properties of the SSD in both machines to see if any of the information doesn't match up (including TRIM being enabled), et cetera. On-board SATA solutions don't...

    Dead Island First Impressions

    It used to be that World War II games were the laughing-stock of the gaming world thanks to their abundance, but the most blatant fad today has got to be zombie games. We might have Valve's Left 4 Dead to thank, because since its release in 2008, there have been a countless number of...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

    Thanks both to its stellar go-your-own-way gameplay and immersive cyberpunk world, the original Deus Ex is regarded as one of the best PC games of all time. Following up to such a cult classic isn't easy, but with Human Revolution, Eidos Montreal has proven that it didn't want to disappoint DX's...

    The Game that DLC Built

    As I have made clear through various news posts and articles throughout the years, I am not that big a fan of DLC. More often than not, downloadable content feels like little more than a money-grub by the developer or publisher - offering gamers things that feel like they should have been in the...

    Nintendo Offers Free NES Games to 3DS Early Adopters

    When Nintendo launched its 3DS handheld earlier this year, it seemed to be well-received overall - at least by reviewers. But with its $250 price-tag, some had a hard time jumping on the bandwagon, especially if they already owned a regular DS. As a result, sales were paltry, prompting Nintendo...

    These came to mind: Hexen: http://www.ravensoft.com/gamesdetail.aspx?xmmid=624&xmid=8&xmview=2 Heretic: http://www.ravensoft.com/gamesdetail.aspx?xmmid=624&xmid=7&xmview=2 There were sequels for both of these. I could create a post at GOG.com if you want Psi, since that site is...
