Singularity Developed By: Raven Software Published By: Activision Platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PS3 Players: 1 (Singleplayer), 12 Players (Multiplayer) Rated M for Mature by the ESRB The Breakdown Mastering the power of time has never been more fun in this era-hopping alternate history title from Raven Software! The Important Stuff The United States cemented its position as the foremost world superpower with the discovery of atomic weaponry during World War II. The development of these nuclear weapons eventually led to some very tense years in the world, eventually leading to the stand-off between Russia and the US known as the Cold War. …

Arizona is considering legislation that would let parents see the text messages on the phones of their children, if they're under the age of 18. The bill is proposed by a state senator who has six daughters -- with understandable concerns for their safety and the safety of other minors who might be victims of harassment or bullying. The Article Personally, I don't think kids under the age of 18 need cell phones. The only exception would be a night out with their friends. When I was growing up I was given 3 quarters and told to call home when I needed picking up. Should parents have the right to go through their kids cellphone text messages?

Starting at 1 PM Eastern time, RDR will have Double XP this weekend. So if you're working towards that shiny new weapon or trying to gey your buffalo mount, now's the time!

Microsoft filed for, and was approved, Patent #20120278904. What is this patent? It's titled "Content Distribution Regulation By Viewing User", and it wants to turn you Kinect against you. Short form is this. Your Kinect is a camera. Microsoft wants to be able to use that camera to be able to analyze how many people are present in your room, how old they are, and possibly other info to be able to take "remedial action" for whatever reason. I imagine this may be with the intention of good things, like say recognizing a 7 year old boy and not allowing them to watch the unrated version of Hot Tub Time Machine on Netflix, but the scope of description within the patent see…

Have an excellent birthday month, Antoinette. May you receive many diamonds.

Here's to you my man! Happy birthday from all of us here at your Gamercide family.

Uh oh.... time to hide your wallets!

Earth as seen from Voyager 1 while on the edge of our solar system (approximately 3,762,136,324 miles from home). In the words of Carl Sagan (god rest his soul!): Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every …

I've been reading some articles about fangames which have been shut down by game companies such as Nintendo, Square-Enix, Sega, etc. From what I've heard, Streets of Rage remake was shutdown by Sega, Super Mario Bros. X was shutdown by Nintendo, and more. They say it's because of copyright infringement, but they are just being mean I think. Fangames never hurt anyone. If I were the president of Sega or Nintendo or Capcom or Segtendcom or whatever, I wouldn't mind having people make fangames like those. I'd even urge them to go on, like maybe, Capcom, who was more than friendly and allowed Megaman 2.5D to be continuously worked on. In fact, when people create fangames, the…

Developed by: Colossal Order Published by: Paradox Interactive Platforms: PC Players: 1 Rated E (Everyone) by the ESRB Throughout my many years playing games on the PC I’ve played quite a lot of titles. I love a game that makes you think and so much of my PC experience has leaned towards titles that fall within the strategy genre, which to me includes city-building, real time strategy, turn based war games and quite a few other “sims”. However let me be frank with you all. I’ve never in my life played a “transportation sim” so keep that in mind while you digest my take on Paradox & Colossal’s new title Cities in Motion. You won’t find any comparisons to Sid Mei…

The Razer Onza is Razer’s first proper attempt at making a gamepad for consoles. Can this gamepad created by a company known for making some of the fanciest PC gaming peripherals around live up to the hype, or is it not the godly, k/d count enhancing, reaction boosting uber controller that everyone makes it out to be? The Razer Onza comes in two varieties. The first is the $50 Razer Onza Tournament Edition which has everything the standard Xbox 360 controller has (aside from chatpad compatibility), with added features including: two extra multi-function buttons on the shoulder that can be mapped to any other button on the controller (excluding the d-pad), adjustable re…

If the recent filings of an FCC document are correct than it appears that Fox Entertainment will be heading to video game consoles. According to the Gamasutra who posted a link to the FCC document, this service will be a pay to watch television service and is rumored to be either “a cable, FIOS, or satellite company in the US.” Hulu and Netflix are already offered on the current generation of consoles leading many to wonder how this rumor would impact the use of those services as well as what consoles would get this rumored pay to watch television service. via Gamasutra Tweet This Post View the full article
