The A-Z of Gaming T-Shirt

Andrew5 | 10 hours 29 mins ago | News | PC Playstation 2 
"And to wrap things up today, here's "The ABCs of Gaming," from a t-shirt design contest at Shirt.woot.com. The contest closed this week. The latest on the site shows another shirt claiming 2nd place in this derby so, who knows, maybe it won. I'm sure the ordering information will follow.

For now, take a long look and see if you can name all 26. I can name about 19 offhand. There's a spoiler solution after the jump."

Activision lets CoD5 facts loose; The PSP is left out ... again.

StarJet | 15 hours 27 mins ago | News | PC Playstation 2 
"Griffith said that CoD5 would be available on PS2, PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, and PC. That pretty much covers every platform but the PSP. Why this is, is anyone’s guess. Griffith also pointed out that CoD5 will be using the same game engine that was used in CoD4. As for the game’s setting, “We’ll bring the intensity of the recent Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title to a new military theater to engage our significantly larger user base which nearly doubled last year as new users came into the fran..."

So, What Is Mirrors Edge About?

"Mirror's Edge, from the makers of the Battlefield series, is described as a first-person parkour-inspired action adventure game. We were still wrapping our head around that game-describing mouthful when DICE unleashed a brand new trailer, showing for the first time in-game footage in full flow. With the athletic Faith's exploits fresh in mind, we caught up with DICE's general manager Sean Decker following his presentation to media at Sony's recent PlayStation Day in London to dig a little dee..."

No 10 Day Reauthentication for Spore

Ameer | 1 day 13 hours ago | News | PC Company Misc 
Following the announcement that Mass Effect will not be using the almost Orwellian modified SecuROM authentication protection, Spore, EA's other big game has been changed as well. SecuROM will still be used, but in a modified reauthentication process that only checks on installation and when the online function is first used.

The positives that can be brought from this announcement apart from the obvious are that this new process will not require a CD in order to play after installation. I...

My Horse & Me Review

Chad | 1 day 21 hours ago | Reviews | PC 
"The events are pretty basic, but are very similar to what we've seen in show jumping competitions that occasionally play weekdays in the mid afternoons on ESPN. There are a number of jumps that need to be cleared in a certain order, and players are ranked based on their time, with penalties given for mistakes."

Ironman 2008 - Team Fortress 2 style

martinborgman | 2 days 2 hours ago | Video | PC Playstation 3 
"Upon seeing this scene in the new Ironman movie all I could think of was the pyro from Team Fortress 2. And because my other parody "TF2 Tremors" has been enjoyed by a lot of you, I thought of making a parody with the Pyro.

TF2 has so many options available for parody usage even if the pyro speech is limited, it does at least deliver a comedy effect."

Mass Effect ditch authentication!

Silver Mirror | 2 days 3 hours ago | News | PC Gaming Tech/Hardware 
Remember my story about Mass Effect for the PC needing to be authenticated every 10 days? Well Bioware and EA have apparently had a change of heart and changed the system. Now you will only need to enter a code when first installing the game and when you purchase additional content. No word on what's happening to Spore.

Eye for Design - New Design Game By Sandlot Games images attached to an article

gameglamour | 2 days 5 hours ago | Reviews | PC 
""...this game will introduce you to many lovely characters. Just like in other games created by Sandlot, all customer types are very realistically and ironically depicted (you’re going to design interior for students obsessed with video games, hippies that cannot stand anything new and fashionable, people that love funhouses, cowboys etc.).""

GamingShogun Interviews Project Manager Patrick Marchal of Monte Cristo Regarding Cities XL images attached to an article

JelalTrueshot | 2 days 18 hours ago | News | PC 
"From the interview...
GS: I wanted to give you the opportunity to squash a rumor going around various Internet forums where some folks say you doctor your screenshots with image enhancement programs before releasing them. What would you say to that claim?
MC: YES we used Photoshop…. to include the CITIES XL logo on the screenshots =). More seriously, what you are seeing is coming straight from the game engine. Time will prove this to be true."

Rumour: In talks about GTA Online?

chautemoc | 3 days 4 hours ago | News | PC Playstation 3 
Developer Realtime Worlds has (according to a credible source) bought back the license for the urban MMO All Points Bulletin game from publisher Webzen with the possible idea of selling it back to Rockstar as Grand Theft Auto: Online. RealTime would only say they resecured the rights to "give themselves some options." Many guess that these options would be either to: A: develop the license themselves; or B: sell a framework for a GTA MMO to Rockstar.
