Ubisoft CEO Speaks on Takeover in Game News Stardock Forums

Ubisoft CEO, Yves Guillemot, admitted today that his company would be powerless to stop a full blown Electronic Arts takeover, which seems to have started late December 2004 when EA snapped up a chunk of Ubisoft stock.

Guild Wars Hits One Million in Game News Stardock Forums

Reply to Nintendo Revolution Controller in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I personally don't care how it looks, if anyone is in my house and is gonna start making fun of me they can just leave. Aside from that I don't understand why people can't get over the "two hands," how many hands do you put on your controller? Three? No thats right you tend to use two there also, they just aren't seperated. From all the different control schemes in arcades and controllers throughout the console I have never had a problem g

Under Littlejohns, Red Storm, which was founded by Tom Cl

Game Endings in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

I have asked this question in a few different places and have yet to find a good answer. Has anyone ever come across a site that had a collection of game endings, as in the final movie or storyline. I really hate some games were you have to go beat the game again to get a final endings or beat it a certain way or achieve this or that because most people over say 18 don't have that kinda time (for more than a game or two that is). If not would you

Rag Doll Kung Fu Dated in Game News Stardock Forums

Valve Software has announced that Rag Doll Kung Fu will be pushed through its Steam content delivery service starting October 12th. The game from Lionhead Studios designer Mark Healey is a 3D side scrolling platformer with a unique twist. The twist you ask? Not a single animation in the game is scripted but instead driven by "Rag Doll" physics, as the title might suggest. This means that players will have to jump, kick, punch, headbutt, and

Hot Coffee Causes Review in Game News Stardock Forums

Gamasutra claims that they got their hands on an official e-mail from the Entertainment Software Ratings Board which demands US publishers complete an audit to help the ESRB crack down on hidden game content.
