Revised 2012 model Stop. I already know what you’re going to say. It’s too expensive, right? You could build a rig for much cheaper, or some other manufacturer has a better price on a similar configuration. Something like that. And I get you. But that whole mindset changes when you have a really nice piece of electronics like the new Razer Blade in your hands. There’s just something about this machine that brings out the technolust....
As previouslyteased by Ubisoft,Splinter Cell: Convictionis about to get more maps for Deniable Ops in the form of a premium download. This “Insurgency Pack,” as it’s being called, will go live on Thursday, May 27 for both Xbox 360 and PC. Up until this point, it’s all been about free, much-less-substantial add-ons every week. So, what does $10 get you, exactly? Four new settings: docks in San Francisco, a New Orleans cemetery, a prison in Portland (notthatPortland, sadly), and a research facility in Salt Lake City....
And that’s that A far-fetched bit of business gossip started making the rounds yesterday: That Sony was looking to acquire Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games and 2K Games.

[StarfooooooOOOHHHHbyガしガし] The fact that a newStar Foxgame is set for release this year still feels a little surreal. Fan expectations are bound to be high, as the wait for this one has been long and hard. That may seem like a bad thing for Nintendo, as it has a lot to lose if the game stinks, but the fact that people still care enough about this little 3D shmup series is something to be grateful for....
‘Not Terraria 2’ Whoa. What’s this? A new game in theTerrariauniverse? I have just recently been getting back into the similar-but-unrelatedStarbound, so this is especially interesting news right about now. Re-Logic released the above alpha footage trailer, and has a smattering of information on theofficial siteand theTerrariaforums. There isn’t a whole lot to glean from the trailer forTerraria: Otherworld. There is a strange glowing robot/mech/monolith, and everything looks simultaneously darker and more richly colored....
I wasn’t home all day today so I have no opinion on any of today’s stories. So instead, let me tell you about my day in San Francisco. One-third of the population there is crazy. Dyson and I came across a hobo that spoke the language of theSimsin the morning. Then a guy in his 40s got on the bus with an electric keyboard and played children songs like “Mary Had a Little Lamb” for the bus driver as I was heading to the train....
The director ofBorderlands 3, Paul Sage,recently founded a new studio called Ruckus Gamesand began the production of its debut video game: an unnamed co-op third-person shooter that sounds both promising and ambitious. In an interview with GamesRadar, Sage reflected on his career and talked about the trials & tribulations of working with AAA video game companies. One of the main points he made was about how studios care too much about the expectations of new entries in established franchises – which doesn’t surprise us considering he worked on big IPs likeBorderlandsandThe Elder Scrolls– and that they often play it too safe as a result of these precautions....

I want it The mainShenmuetheme still gets me all teary-eyed. After watching these videos of a fan-made HD remake, it happened again! KoreanShenmuefan Nokon Kid has crafted some of the original game in HD, and he’s done a damn fine job of it so far. There’s no word of a full release, but for now you can just enjoy the scenery.
