It’s come to this: DICE hiring Anti Cheat Administrator

0

If you've put any significant amount of time into Battlefield 3's multiplayer, chances are pretty good you've encountered some cheating.  I'm not just talking about exploits (like those jerks who ride MAVs to get to nearly-impossible-to-defeat positions), but straight up game-ruining hackers.  It used to be you just had to worry about wallhacks or aimbots, ...

Unsubstantiated rumor that I want desperately to be true: Rocksteady’s next project is TMNT

0

If the rumor mill is to be trusted -- and it rarely is -- we should be on the look out for a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game from Batman: Arkham Asylum and Arkham City developers Rocksteady Studios.  The rumor is being reported by a number of outlets, and seems to have originated with Paul Gale ...

The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Review

1

If you haven't played either Morrowind or Oblivion allow me to discuss them briefly.  Both were massive worlds populated with characters that approximated real people as much as the technology of their times would allow.  They allowed an unprecedented level of role playing through the diversity of their races and worlds, and the latent racial ...

Review: Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad

1

  I thought we'd shake this up with this review.  See, I (Squid) pre-ordered Red Orchestra 2 the instant it was available for purchase on Steam.  Had to.  I've been a fan since the original Red Orchestra mod came out for Unreal Tournament 2004.  It won best mod two years in a row and I've been ...

Apparently you need “readers” in order to be credited with discovering a newsworthy item

Some of you may remember my triumphant return to angry blogging from a little over three weeks ago. We laughed, we cried, we speculated -- so imagine my surprise when I awoke this morning and checked in on the Tweety Box to find a post from the good folks at PC Gamer that looked like this:   Talk ...

A mid-week haiku for Nintendo

Glasses-free 3D! Thank you, early adopters. Oops, forgot this bit.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Review

0

Any developer that takes over an intellectual property is playing a dangerous game.  It can easily restrict innovation because everything is based on someone else's ideas.  Or one can totally destroy a beloved franchise.  The original Deus Ex was fantastic.  It had a strong, if convoluted story, difficult combat, stealth, and great RPG elements in ...

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. Also, a LucasArts job opening!

0

Well, this is a little awkward. It's been a while, I know, but I thought it might be nice to try to pick up where we left off.  You see, my job sent me out of the warm embrace of urban living for the summer months, forcing me into a land bereft of not just gaming, ...

Mass Effect 2: The Arrival review

0

Mass Effect 2 is an excellent game.  While I personally feel that it is slightly eclipsed by its predecessor in the effectiveness of its storytelling mechanics, it is nonetheless a dramatic and epic experience. Unfortunately, following in the footsteps of the original, this particular slice of downloadable content is a bit disappointing.  Now, before I get ...
