Xbox 360 Review: Far Cry 2

What happens when you switch locales, developers, and nearly rewrite the entire engine? Apparently, Far Cry 2. The only thing this game has in common with the original is its open world style play, which has now been enhanced and expanded. That doesn’t necessarily help the game though. After you pick your character, you’re off to [...]

Little Big Planet Delayed, Recalled Over Religious Reference

Someone in quality control is in a lot of trouble right now. With only a few days to go until release, Sony announced the game had been recalled. The reason?

MAG to be Subscription Based?

One of the surprise announcements coming out of E3 was MAG, a 256-player online shooter that sounds, needless to say, epic. However, a survey by Sony and then reported by Bitbag, states 15 questions that relate to pricing. The game may (supposedly) charge a yearly or monthly fee to play, which certainly goes against Sony’s [...]

Xbox Live Call Out List Matures

Ah, the Xbox Live Call Out List. What a fun piece of writing. However, through the time it’s been done, things have stood out that need changing. Don’t worry, we’ll still be calling out those fools who try to make Xbox Live a miserable place. However, the scope needs to be more limited for a [...]

Age of Conan Servers Merging

At one point, it seemed like Age of Conan was doing pretty well for itself. Initially, 700,00 players jumped into the fantasy world, and apparently, not many of them chose to stick around when it came time to pay.

Online Game Players Not Fat, Just Addicts

Look at it this way: If you play MMOs, you’re likely not fat. Congratulations. A new study (yes, someone paid money to find this stuff out) that the stereotype no longer fits. However, the study conducted by the Palo Alto Research Center, does have some other grim news for you. After quizzing 7,000 players, they [...]
