First Free ad-supported game - by Tekton on Jul 31, 2008 - 9:40 AM For the first 24 hrs this game is free. http://www.gametap.com/grimm/ It's an episodic (24 total ) game made by Alice creator American McGee. If you can stand the overly simplistic graphics (paper cut figures and environments ugh!)go for it 0 Replies | 16 Views MSspeak re: screwing PC game releases - by Tekton on Jul 06, 2008 - 11:31 AM MS thinking about games = XBOx and nothing else... They need to sell the XBox so badly ,they persuaded themselves that games exclusivity will create a console market even where it almost doesn't exist,Europe for example . http://www.ggmania.com/?smsid=25553 0 Replies | 23 Views Valve & PC games=Future - by Tekton on Jun 28, 2008 - 1:04 PM And here is some sense,coming from the Valve headquarters regarding PC games and their future. Notice that it was posted on Eurogamer,and appreciated accordingly. In the States the article was drowned among the console-clamor ads and biased press. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=160866 0 Replies | 24 Views Talking Head wants short games - by Tekton on Jun 19, 2008 - 7:49 AM http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/ne...php?story=18986 Warren Spector,remember him? He made the stellar Deus Ex game,then he flushed it down the toilet with Deus Ex 2 with consoles in mind and "screw the pc" mindset. This is an interview where he praises the chance to make short /brief/fuzzy furry console-crap games for Disney,while spitting on long pc games.. What an ass. And this comes to the heels of Mr. Mayer yes the Civ creator-guy who has gone console-native too. It's ok,like this the money hungry idiots get vacuumed by the console merry-go round and the few remaining quality pc game makers can concentrate and make fewer yet better pc games. See the rare miracle of "Mass Effect" a game ported to the pc by excellent people at Bioware is just that : An unexpected marvel,of an exception to the mediocre ported games reality. 3 Replies | 35 Views Bring in the ported games... - by Tekton on Jun 11, 2008 - 11:10 AM NVIDIA's vision of games? Briefly ,the catch phrase is: Games made for consoles and perfected for the PC according to the NVIDIA guy............ http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/pos...ted-on-pcs.html So just ported consoley crap is the future? 2 Replies | 34 Views Big brother checks your portables - by Tekton on May 29, 2008 - 10:02 AM http://www.techamok.com/?pid=4596 Briefly the government will check and pry into any portable device upon border crossing,AND confiscate ANY device if the material found in there is CONSIDERED illegal like ANY CD (you own) and you copied on your PC(yes it is illegal unless you purchased it online). So forget about taking your laptop or Ipod trhough customs,since ANYTHING could be considered illegally copied (let's say the .exe file of a game that is copied from game copy world in order to avoid carrying and using the gamne's DVD),or anything you forwarded from your home pc or anything that the goverment software considers "illegal". There is no argument to be made to them,it's Homeland Security married to Big Brother snooping into people's private belongings and confiscating electronics. So put everything in thumb drives,hide them well and lug your laptop/Ipod with nothing in it (which defeats the purpose of portability anyway). Imagine the additional wait in line for the seminar trained idiots,to check and confiscate people's electronics...

Lookitdat,Epic got so thick with Microsoft and their platform and things and look what is happening now: http://www.ggmania.com/?smsid=25169 In brief carnage started already regarding Epic's user generated(free content),especially when it gets siphoned towards the "competition" console. So the big Microsoft-Borg zeroes in for the final stages of forced assimilation of the little insignificant Epic-peon who thought that it could roar or even soar... What fools,their "free-ride" is over and now they gotta pay the pimp his dues and laughter will ensue I'm sure. My crystal ball sez that either they will be stifled,then lawsued then absorbed by MS and spat out like a cherry pit,or get bought by some more savvy people like EA for example. All the while the Cliffster idiot is dreaming about movie rights to a Gears of War Hollywood greatness (yes that's right he is negociating movie rights with some other airheads) 2 Replies | 153 Views There might be life after UT... - by Tekton on Apr 05, 2008 - 11:19 AM HUXLEY.
