    Sony: We Can't Make More Movies Thanks to Piracy

    First of all: Most of these piracy loss claims are rubbish, simply because the people who do not think the movie is worth the money to see would simply not go to see it at all. Then think about the countries like the one I live in: Estonia We get only the mega blockbusters here and the rest...

    Teen Goes on Axe Rampage After Losing Game

    How come people always make the link to video games. An individual capable of killing in a fit of rage would just as easily have killed after losing a game of cards, or someone else ticking them off somehow... or cutting them off in traffic or some such rubbish. In this case the murder took...

    Dad Kills Own Son Over Missing Videogame

    As we say in Europe: "Only in America" But seriously, how can anyone commit heinous crimes such as murder against anyone else... regardless of whether you share the same genes. People are nuts.

    Ion Rocket Engine Can Take Us to Mars Faster

    daftwow, sorry, but i read this over on physorg about 2 weeks ago No offense intended, but I hadn't read it before, and with me, I think there are plenty of others who had not read this before either. What it comes down to is that I believe it's good if more than one source feeds us...

    Miyamoto: New Mario Will Kick Your Butt

    jumping fire pits in 3D using a quirky over-the-shoulder camera is way more harder than performing the same stunt in a side-scrolling, 2D world. "Way more harder" err really? No offense intended, but you might want to proofread your articles, or have them proofread before you publish them...

    Gamers Turn to Downloads During Recession

    As if it has anything to do with the recession. If game devs would come up with quality games, then the gaming population would not mind spending the extra bucks. Problem is, most games that were published between today and 2005 were and are complete and utter cow-dung. Due to the lengthy gap...

    Wii Balance Board Used in Security Checks

    By this I mean that it will, like other things such as DRM only provide the illusion of safety, accompanied by the discomfort of yet another tedious process we as average consumers have to endure, while it doesn't actually improve the situation. (since those who are hellbent on committing these...

    Wii Balance Board Used in Security Checks

    Aren't the people who partake in criminal activities on the national level, usually accustomed or even well trained to maintain themselves at all times? Just a thought, Mike

    Watch the Final Fantasy XIII Trailer From TGS

    HonisYou wouldn't be saying that if you tried playing the PC version of 7 and 8. FF11 was the only one they released for PC and actually kept up with (for obvious reasons).She probably said arigato because the Japanese have only started saying "I love you" for less than a handful of decades...

    Cops Play Wii Bowling While on Drug Bust

    *sigh* At all of you who think it's cool to negatively comment to the article or others, you're wrong. It doesn't make you a bigger, better or more intelligent person so cease and desist. Facts: YES it IS wrong for the officers to play the Wii games on a crime scene. YES the officers in...

    Billionaire Uses Laser to Thwart Paparazzi

    "...billionaire Russian oligarchRoman Abramovich..." A space between oligarch and Roman "Currently it's parked in a German shipyard.." Parked or docked? No offense intended, but it seems to me that the quality of the recent articles, language and grammar used in these articles is...

    Blizzard Tracking 180,000 Bugs in WoW

    No offense to any of you folks, but 180 000 bugs over the span of nearly 5 years and in an MMORPG I think is admirable not a shame. Imagine this: Game development is a staged process: Concept Design Coding Animation Scripting Polishing Revisiting Rethinking strategies Rethinking concepts...

    ARM: True 3D Netbook Gaming in 2010

    even if windows runs and the processor does well and bests all of the current mobile cpus, this doesn't ensure proper gaming in any way. At least not without a proper gpu to go with it... and since the current mobile gpus are both not the strongest nor the coolest solutions, I believe we are...

    Cell Phones Cause Rotting Brains... Again

    supertrek32I'm pretty sure the only way you won't get cancer now days is if you live in a completely dark, electromagnetic-proof box doing absolutely nothing. Getting food and water might be problematic, but if you can overlook that small detail you're good to go! No more cancer! And then you...

    Say What? Google Patents Its Home Page

    Silly thought here... Get rid of the right to sue and the right to patent products. Bring back a (mis)use at your own risk rule, while policing the proper fabrication and safety of all products and services. And clean up the whole judicial system in a big "spring" cleaning event. In my honest...
