Hot on the heels of the debacle of Modern Warfare 2 not having any dedicated servers Infinity Ward has done it again; making Modern Warfare 2 less appealing to PC gamers. Just recently Best Buy hosted an online chat between gamers and Mackey McCandlish and Ryan Lastimosa from Infinity Ward. The chat was an open floor [...]

So the Left 4 Dead 2 early access demo for the PC and 360 goes live Tuesday and I figured I should grab it and setup a Left 4 Dead 2 dedicated server. Getting the files was easy, but setting up ( and getting my L4D 2 dedicated server up wasn’t). The setup process for running [...]

Well the good news was that the PC version Modern Warefare 2 wasn’t being delayed, but it is being overshadowed by the announced lack of dedicated servers. Yeah, stop and think about that for a second; a PC game that in the past has relied solely on dedicated servers is going to nothing but matchmaking. [...]

Last night at a press event in San Francisco, Valve took the cover off Left 4 Dead 2’s brand spanking new gametype ‘Scavenge’. According to valve, the new L4D2 multiplayer mode is built solely for “quick, more frantic gameplay”. I thought that L4D could be plenty frantic as is, yikes! Left 4 Dead 2’s Scavenge is [...]

Eurogamer reports that the reaons boil down to exactly just that. Well, Nedgame has a few reasons for not carrying the handheld. Nedgame believes [...]

For those that are excited about Borderlands, it has been rated M for Mature by the ERSB; a very very mature. So not only do you have Claptrap going off in his “interview” (video below), you have the oh-crap-this-is-awesome mature of: Players kill hundreds of enemies (e.g., human bandits and mercenary soldiers) over the course of [...]

Ahh, I fondly remember blowing up earthen bridges, and glass houses in the original Red Faction for the PC. It was a great game, but sadly the best part was the multiplayer (which is long gone now). Imaginge my surprise when I heard about Red Faction: Guerrilla; and then my immediate dissatisfaction that it would [...]
