Food for ThoughtWhat would happen if Relic Studios made a Star Wars RTS game?

Used Games are *not* Damaging
Over at next-gen, Editor Colin Campbell has gotten his knickers in a twist over used games. Over four pages he offers spurious arguments supporting the headline "Used Games are Damaging". Unfortunately for the 'first of a weekly opinion column', it's not a... [more]

Another Dragon's Lair?

2008 wants
Well, specifically 'want' singular. 'Cos right now, off the top of my head all I can think of to look forward to is GTA IV. The game we should have been playing last October is now not out until late April. [more]

My Word Coach (DS), first impressions
In line with previous years, I've scoured the net for post-Christmas sales, not found what I was looking for, then bought the games full-price anyway. The game I failed to save any money on this year was My Word Coach. I'm often stuck for that one word that... [more]

You've got to be kidding me. I'm an avid fan of the Company of Heroes line of games, but when it takes 2 and a half hours to install a game, that's totally bogus. [more]

Halo 3 dirty disc errors :(

Best. Router. Ever
I just got a Billion BiPAC 7300GA, and it's *tons* better than the D-Link POS I was using. It's syncs to my ADSL faster, and everything net-related seems to feel that bit more responsive. I've yet to try out the wireless and Xbox Live, but so far I'm very... [more]
