Donating money to oppose SOPA on the industry’s behalf

Over the holidays, I received a package from THQ, just one among many pieces of swag and nonsense that publishers ply bloggers with on a regular basis. However, unlike the usual bits of miscellanea, this was something a bit more questionable — it was cold, hard cash. More specifically, it was a pre-paid American Express card with $50 on it. The conceit was that some UFC match was playing on pay-per-view, and the money could be used to order the match....

GDC 09: The CryENGINE 3 is next-gen ready

Shortly before attending GDC 09, I learned that Crytek announced the CryENGINE 3. I’m not a big PC gamer, so I didn’t really look into the announcement. It’s Crytek, so I knew it was going to be bigger and badder than ever … and you’d most likely needa rig like this to run it. Needless to say, I was quite shocked when I walked into my appointment with Crytek to see an Xbox 360 sitting on the ground running the CryENGINE 3....

Ghost Recon’s Guerilla Mode gets its own trailer

Oh look,Ghost Recon Future Soldierhas a 4-player co-op survival mode. There was a time when the knowledge of horde-mode style multiplayer really excited me, but it’s been run into the ground at this point. Surprisingly,Ghost Recon‘s Guerilla Mode has managed to pique my interest despite the sea of mind-numbing carbon copies it’s swimming in. There isn’t one thing in particular that stands out as different or better, but rather, the attitude they seem to have going into it....

Have you received this free gift from Sony?

I haven’t ;____; Last summer, Sony celebrated five years of PlayStation Plus by sending out gifts to early adopters of the subscription service. The gift – a framed poster showcasing your PSN stats such as the number of friends, number of games played etc. – was something of a rarity. Yesterday, one of myDestinyraid crew members (YODESTINY’S DARLINGS! 110%!) showed off his unexpected delivery (much to the jealousy/consternation of the rest of us) and since then, Twitter has been full of happy PlayStationers sharing their unexpected presents....
