A former Epic Games director agrees....

When Capcom first announcedLost Planet 2, they did so with a trailer that was available exclusively on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

I love my iPhone. Its ability to be both trendy and useful has helped my productivity with work and the ladies sky rocket over the last year. When I’m not busy with the ladies (or work) I like to sit back and enjoy some games. Luckily the 2.0 firmware update has given us all the ability to enjoy games on the best Apple mobile phone to date. I have recently had the opportunity to explore all of Gameloft’s offerings for the iPhone application store....

Not more ways to alienate and harass [Op-EdContent Warning: Bigoted language, sexual violence] The definition of “safe spaces” varies depending on who you ask, but to me, a safe space is a place where you can be free of harassment regardless of your politics, race, nationality, sexuality, and gender or lack thereof. Currently, protests are being held at college and university campuses across the United States with students asking for safe spaces....

At the same time as Epicwas apologizingforGears of War 2‘s multiplayer screw ups, some statistics were shared about how multiplayer is shaping up. If you’re interested in meaningless numbers and percentages like I am, then you might want to know these. It’s interesting to note that, despite complaints about the shotgun being considerably weakened, it is still the most statistically lethal weapon in the game. With the amount of complaints you hear about the Lancer being too strong, it’s quite fun to see that it’s still not the most popular cause of death....

I’m surprised how painless it is Although the Steam Controller and Steam Link aren’t going to be available in wide release form until November 10, anyone who pre-ordered directly through Valve (myself included) is set to get them today. I immediately unpacked my shipment this morning and put them through the paces, and I’m pleasantly surprised with how the Link turned out. The unit itself is small and light, which means that it won’t be an eyesore in any location you decide to place it in....

All the points are in the Cool stat CD Projekt Red put us (and a lot of other outlets) in an awkward position at E3. We saw aCyberpunk 2077gameplay demo that was nearly 50 minutes long. Everyone else saw ashort trailerthat premiered during Xbox’s press conference. There’s an incredible gulf between the two. Cyberpunk 2077dominated E3 conversations among anyone who was lucky enough to attend that demo. Reactions were almost universally overwhelmingly positive....

Horace or GTFO Every now and then, Hamster reach into their bag of retro games and pull out a title that perhaps isn’tquitethe renown classic crying out for a re-release. The preservation of video games is important, but at eight dollars a pop, some of these titles are pretty optimistic. This week is the turn of Taito’s 1981 arcadeAlpine Ski,a simplistic skiing game that unfortunately doesn’t feature the nightmarish carnage of ZX Spectrum classicHorace Goes Skiing, instead choosing to be a more mundane affair....

Does resolution even matter to you, really? It was good of Infinity Ward tofinally come out and confirmthat, yes,Call of Duty: Ghostsruns at 720p natively on Xbox One and is upscaled to 1080p. Resolution matters to certain people — somemuchmore than others — and having two new consoles to compare and contrast only amplifies such feelings. Executive producer Mark Rubin has spoken toEurogamerabout why the Xbox One version couldn’t do 1080p native likeGhostscan on PlayStation 4....
