I hadn't seen this trailer, mostly because I despise the cartoonish nature and slow child-level movement in Halo. But does anyone else the trailer makes it look a hell of a lot like Destiny? You know, the game Bungie is making now that MS doesn't have control of them?

It's the device made for nobody that nobody wants, so nobody buys. Why would I want to stream my games to a handheld device with a tiny screen that I can only use while I'm at home requiring the use of the PC that has the game on it in the first place? If I'm going to focus on gaming and I'm...

More crap that nobody wants.

Wow, if that doesn't lend credibility to id's lawsuit laying claim to some of the IP associated with Oculus Rift, I don't know what does. I'd say John Carmack is the dick behind this, too. This guy has been playing double agent for some time, going so far as to downplay the newer console...

I am stoked for this game and immediately thought of Alpha Centauri, too. That said, I think you may have missed out on Civ V because it's not flat, it's as exciting as the original and it's pretty darn creative. The demo is free on Steam, BTW. This is not an expansion. It's a standalone...

People who care about fidelity, for one. Streaming is still mostly only so-so quality, and iTunes sells shit bitrates for the same price as a CD. I still buy CDs when I can get my hands on them, or order if needed so that I can do my own rips. 128/256 VBR doesn't cut it. I'm actually about...

I would love to see a solution just like this offered for ATX boards. If they could somehow wrap the RAM, South and North bridges and CPU, I would definitely pay for that.

Nifty that it's on Android but this implies we've all been begging for it for oh-so-long... not so much. Your headline makes it seem like "the wait is over".... for something we weren't waiting for. That said, in-app purchases on a game of this age will feel like getting raped.

Can we please stop calling dual-chip cards' memory by the total and start referring to the functional? It might have 8GB of GDDR5, but that's 4GB per chip, which effectively makes this a 4GB card. To be an 8GB card, it would need 8GB per chip. Unless I have the option of turning off one GPU...

If you don't spend at least $170 you probably can't play any of these games, anyway. I agree, AMD needs to do better. Just Cause 2 is a great game, Thief is debatable, but the rest pretty much suck and/or are WAY too old to persuade most people. Between my two GTX 770s I got Batman Arkham...

Okay, I know I'm going to get down-voted to oblivion and flamed like hell but I'm just going to say it: I'm sick of all the zombie games. I think at this point, zombies have reached the cliche level of vampires. Yes, I love vampires, but even I thought Twilight was the ultimate stretch of the...

Suit. (Suite = sweet). If by Picasso, you mean makes three-dimensional surfaces flatten together into a two-dimensional image, then I feel like they're falling short a bit on modern graphics ;)
