Titan Quest – PC
Hexus :: Wednesday, August 16, 2006
At first glance, Titan Quest might appear to the uninitiated to be just another hack and slash affair with an RPG stats system tacked on. But is this true? Is there more to Titan Quest than meets the eye?

Microsoft Does “Who wants to be a Game Designer?” 
Digital Trends :: Wednesday, August 16, 2006
“It is almost as though Microsoft looked at Apple’s Garage Band and said, hmmm, what a great idea, what if we applied it go games?”

Dead Rising Review
Boost Mobile :: Wednesday, August 16, 2006
It’s one you kick the roommates off of the TV for or call in sick to work for. BMG in no way expected Dead Rising to be this good, but it is. With the freedom to use anything as a weapon and the expandability of the story, it’s impossible to let the controller down. This game has weeks of content packed into it and after you finish the first serving there are two other unlockable modes that will keep you entertained for months and months to come. Games like this are too far and few between, so buy Dead Rising.

Chromehounds (XBOX360) review
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, August 15, 2006
“FromSoftware is by far one of the most esteemed developers in the mech gaming industry. In the past, they’ve had a great deal of success with the Armored Core series on PlayStation, PS2, and there’s even been a PSP release as well. Now, they’re moving into the next generation of gaming by delivering the first mech warrior type game on the Xbox 360 with the creation of Chromehounds. Featuring a persistent online campaign as well as deep vehicle customization, Chromehounds will definitely help 360 owners get their mech fix.”

The Future of Gaming on the Macintosh Platform
OS Weekly :: Tuesday, August 15, 2006
“OS X has never been as famous for its third party applications as it has been for the ones that Apple has directly included with the operating system. It seems like all you hear about is iLife, iTunes, QuickTime, and on a higher level, Final Cut Pro. All of those applications deal with digital media, and as you know, that’s the niche that Apple fills in a big way.”

“The sturdy construction, classy backlighting, and highly customizable macro keys put the G15 at the top of the gaming keyboard heap. Add on features like the cable management system, full media player support, and the only LCD in the keyboard market, and you’ve got……….”

Deep Sea Tycoon: Divers Paradise Review 
Game Pyre :: Tuesday, August 15, 2006
Pixel By Pixel has released this game for the people that want a peaceful, non-violent game. The good points of the game include no violence, easy to learn (too easy IMO). It’s designed to be played by anyone, including children. The graphics are representative of the characters and animals they are supposed to be, with the dolphin being clearly a dolphin an orca clearly an orca etc.

Civ City
Driver Heaven :: Tuesday, August 15, 2006
CivCity shares its name with one of the PC’s best franchises – Civilization. Despite this fact, the game was not created by Firaxis, but by Firefly studios, the authors of the popular strategy game Stronghold. The design of the game reflects this, as it bears a striking resemblance to all of the Stronghold games. There is nothing wrong with that, but at times I wished Firaxis had more input on the game design. As it is, the only connection between this game and Civilization is the name and some little tidbits like the civilopedia.

Is the XBOX 360 Really For Moms
Primo Tech :: Tuesday, August 15, 2006
Just prior to the XBOX 360’s launch last November, in an interview with Primotech, Peter Moore boldly declared that someday “your mom would be playing the XBOX 360.” In a twenty-page feature, we today put his words to the test, with a thorough investigation of how mom-friendly the 360, and videogaming in general, has become. The bigger picture: Has gaming finally reached the massive mainstream market?

Ergodex DX1 Input System
Insanetek :: Monday, August 14, 2006
“Put your fingers where you want. The Ergodex DX1 Input System is a radically different way to control your computer. With a macro recording feature and “inexhaustibly” sticky keys, is it able to withstand the rigors of hardcore gaming?”

The PSP & Your Eyes – How Not To Get IScrewed 
The Tech Zone :: Monday, August 14, 2006
Fifty years ago, we had the onset of the age of television. Sit 5-15 feet away. A little over a decade ago, the age of personal computers began. Sit 3 feet away. Under a decade ago, the first portable gaming consoles appeared. Sit less than a foot away. See the pattern? As time goes by, we’re getting closer and closer to our entertainment, not mentally, spiritually, or emotionally, but physically

Insomnia365 Game Server
Bjorn 3D :: Monday, August 14, 2006
Setting up your own game server actually is pretty easy. Most games have a free server-component that can be downloaded and set up either under Linux or Windows. The problem of course is that you first of all need a server and second of all you need the bandwidth. So setting up the server at home might not be the best option.

The Planet has a game server line called Insomnia365 which promises not only to give you a good server for your games but also make it easy to administrate and set up the games. We got a opportunity to test a server for a few months and on the following pages we’re going to tell you what was cool and what was less cool with this whole package.

Call of Juarez Tweak Guide
TweakGuides :: Monday, August 14, 2006
I’ve really enjoyed playing around with the Call of Juarez demo, so I thought it was worth doing up a Call of Juarez Tweak Guide. As you would expect from a game which has so much to offer, it’s a bit of beast to run on most systems. It ranks on par with games like Oblivion both for eye candy and for system requirements in getting things running smoothly. Fortunately the new version of the Chrome engine used by Techland is customizable enough for our purposes, so in this guide we examine in detail what the in-game settings actually do, the issue of game loading times, and how to further tweak and optimize the game using some advanced configuration settings. There are also a range of troubleshooting tips for common problems people experience with this game.
