The Sega Rally team has delivered once again and they have taken arcade rally racing up a notch. Read the rest of this entry »

Sierra’s Battlestar Galactica is a game with a clear vision: to be a simple, fun arcade-style shooter you can play alone or with friends. While it draws storyline, visual and musical assets from the popular revisualized television series, BSG on XBLA doesn’t need the backstory to be a solid game. It realizes its vision well.

Console wars date as far back as 1989 when the Sega Genesis dropped.  Remember the blast processing ads featuring Sonic?  Sega and Nintendo went at it pretty hard, trumping each other every step of the way.  Sega pretty much held it’s own until Street Fighter II was released on the Super NES.  While it didn’t kill Sega’s success, it did put Nintendo on top as THE system to have.  The forums were nasty.  rec.games.video was a haven for flame wars.  It went from Sega vs. Nintendo to Sega vs. Nintendo vs. Sony and so on and so forth.  The only ones affected by the so called system wars were the gamers.  There were never any losers or winners as far as the game companies were concerned.  They didn’t give a shit about us gamers as long as we were spending our money on their games.  These wars continue to this day and so do the idiotic flamewars in game forums all over the net.  Read the rest of this entry »

Jason posted on his blog about the realities of why it’s difficult to develop games on the PS3.  It’s pretty informative and not for the faint of heart PS3 fanboy.  He did point out that developers who are willing to take the time to get quality games made for the PS3 will be successful, but it takes a lot of time and money to do so.  Click the link for the full story:

Crytek released a software tool to check and see if your computer was equipped to run Crysis.  As the demo will be released tomorrow, this is a necessity.  I chuckled out loud when I saw the results of my test.  I fail on minimum requirements because of my CPU and Graphics card.  The recommended requirements are a 8800 Nvidia card with 640mb of RAM!  Click here for the test:  Can You Run Crysis?
