    How Xbox One/Windows 8 Cross Play Would Affect Gamers

    Has been tried before. Shadowrun in particular failed horribly as PC gamers just thrashed everyone on the Xbox. It was just no fun for anyone involved.

    Nintendo Blames 3DS Price Drop on Gamecube

    hetneoNope, Crysis 2 has lower comparable system requirements, when you compare what was mid range and high end hardware by performance and price tag four years ago and in March this year. It is said to be more graphically intensive because it was demanding better than what was high end hardware...

    Anonymous Strikes Deus Ex, Eidos Websites

    I hear it might be a retaliation for in game advertising of things like The Mechanic and McDonalds in a game based in the future.

    Nintendo: 3DS Sales Weaker Than Expected

    Price is too high (even if everyone wasn't skint, you can get a 360 for cheaper) 3D is still very gimmicky No decent games New version will be out in less than a year To be honest, it looks like an obvious one to me. I think Ninty were expecting everyone to jump on it like they did the Wii...

    Android Getting Facial Recognition?

    So you have to manually give permission for them to access your Google Profile? But not for them to be able to access anything else? Seems off to me. I can't imagine anything like this could be rolled out without express, explicit consent, regardless of what it connects to.

    First Dual-Touchscreen Phone Arrives in April

    Parsian2 screen, one to be used a s a keyboard??? nvm, its twice the battery usage. no thnx. This is the real killer. If done properly (and not just tacked on as a gimmick) I am sure the extra screen could be genuinely useful. But the cost to the battery life is just going to be far too great.
