GDC: Devs Concerned About PC Viability

PC vs. console. The battle of the platforms. Who is winning, who is losing, how does one turn the tide? Recurring questions for the gaming industry, and they seem to ramp up everytime something new and exciting (new consoles, or WoW) pop up on either side of the debate. Developers at […]

Microsoft Sneaks An Anti-Hacking Fix to the Xbox 360

Back in November, a group of hackers revealed that they could tamper with the Xbox 360 OS and install Linux and other non-Microsoft-approved software due to an opening in the console’s code.

Show Your Stripes: Custom Console Skins

Just like bling for your cell phone is now an accessory that few can live without, the need to modify (read here: make hideous) personal electronics of all kinds has continued to spread its disease into the gaming world.

Oblivion: Violence & Porn

I posted a while back about my objections to paying for Oblivion add-ons and my dislike of MMO style patching and additional content purchasing, after which I was decapitated and burned at the stake by most of my MMO playing acquaintances.

BOOBIES!

Ha, I can’t wait to see what search strings bring people to this post … but this post is about boobies, so what else could I title it?
