    Sony's 4K Smartphone Is 100% Hype

    Ok a few points to make from an opposing view point with a touch of background. I am all for sony throwing a 4k screen onto a phone. Good on them. They need something to make them stand out from a very very crowded smartphone market and this is getting them a lot of attention. They were the...

    Movies Have Worst Summer Since 1997

    I typically see a lot of movies during the summer. They ranged from excellent (Guardians of the Galaxy), very good (Winter Soldier, Godzilla), good (Edge of Tomorrow, How to Train Your Dragon 2, Planet of the Apes 2, Days of Future Past), just OK (Maleficent, Lucy, Spiderman 2, Sin City 2), and...

    Console Launch Prices Adjusted For Inflation

    The price of RAM back then. I think most of the nintendo and sega cartridges were pretty small and they made a big deal if they had 8 megabit ROM's on them. The NEO-GEO catridges were huge by comparison (there were two contact points underneath) and could support 330 megabit, though I never...

    Videogame Collectors What's Your Holy Grail You Don't Have?

    I would absolutely love to have my old Neo Geo Gold system back again. I had about 6 games for it I believe and loved the hell out of it. The system was expensive as hell for the day (I think I paid $699 for it new in 1990, and most of the games were in the $199 range). I loved the fact that...

    Apple Restocks Its Shelves Every Five Days

    I already admitted that my knowledge of Mac software was limited and that it was solely my perception of it as a gamer first and foremost that drove that perception. I absolutely never have owned or operated a Mac and have no desire to do so.

    Apple Restocks Its Shelves Every Five Days

    I remember when I bought my first PC back in 1990. It was a 486DX 33 of some generic brand or another and ran just shy of $4000 (including a 15" monitor) at the base exchange. When I went into the store to buy it I was marveling over the sheer amount of PC software and games that were lining...

    When will this concept come to reality

    The Nokia Pureview 808 sensor is quite a bit larger than that and is 41mp, but takes pictures at 36mp I believe. The huge resolution size it brings to the table enables a real digital zoom without the picture going to complete shit...

    BitTorrent Traffic Booms Due to “Licensing Challenges”

    Those figures don't include the advertising budget for the movies (if I recall correctly from a related article about John Carter). Those can sometimes exceed 100 million on top of the production costs. That was a big reason why John Carter was concidered a loss to Disney. I don't claim...

    Gamespy: Diablo 3's Success Heralds a PC Gaming Renaissance

    I will try to explain it again. Fastest selling PC game in HISTORY. That means that at no other time in the long history of PC gaming has a game ever sold this many copies this fast. At no other time in history. EVER. So how would Blizzard possibly know they would sell this many copies...

    Gamespy: Diablo 3's Success Heralds a PC Gaming Renaissance

    Fastest selling game in history 6.4 million copies in 24 including WoW annual pass subs. The game has only been out a week and a half. Do you really think that ANY other game company out there could have handled such an event better? I rather doubt it myself. I further don't believe...

    Gamespy: Diablo 3's Success Heralds a PC Gaming Renaissance

    There is a big difference in what Ubisoft and what Blizzard have done. The biggest difference is value to the end user. One method punishes you for being a paying customer and detracts from the experience. The other (barring the launch week server issues, which if you really look at the...

    Gamespy: Diablo 3's Success Heralds a PC Gaming Renaissance

    I would have to say that while I am also not a fan of DRM measures by any means, I can tolerate ones that give me some value in exchange for my chains. Diablo 3 offers me access to all my WoW and Starcraft friends through in game chat and the ability to pop in and out of thier games at any...
