ZeniMax Media has announced that it has received a $300 million investment from Providence Equity Partners to fund future endeavors including development, publishing and acquisitions. Thats not all though, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, famous for the Oblivion franchise in case you were wondering, will also use the several dumptrucks full of money to finance MMOGs. This does not mean that the money will directly goto Bethseda Softworks by any means. ZeniMax, which
According to an email tip sent to Destructoid, Electronic Arts is in a bit of a tough spot at the moment. The once untouchable publisher recently lost their top third-party publisher honors to long time competitor Activision and are now being hit by sagging profits. In the face of the conflict EA has decided that its best to tighten up its belt, which means layoffs. An internal email states that each and "Every studio, group and division of the company has been tasked to review its overa
Haha funny t-shirt. And I believe you are referring to the Antique Roadshow foreverserenity. Not sure if they would like trying to price that item although I would certainly boost the ratings a little bit, at least for the risque factor! I have still had 0 luck finding anything substantial out, can't even confirm that it was released on the 8mm format (want to make sure its not some sort of knock off) but the folks at 8mm Forum from
Eurogamer.net has word that Midway has un-delayed the PC and Xbox 360 versions of its upcoming AAA title, Blacksite: Area 51 . We reported only yesterday regarding the removal of the online co-op mode and addition of a new multiplayer mode . But today is a new day, a day in which Eurogamer says Blacksite: Area 51 will be hitting shelves in November, a fact straight from the mouth of Midway themselves. No menti
The creative mind of Tim Schafer, founder and CEO of Double Fine Productions has come out to deny rumors surrounding a possible port or sequel to the critically acclaimed, but commercial flop, PC, PS2 and Xbox title Psychonauts . Many gaming websites took the addition of blacked-out Psychonauts '-based art to the Double Fine webpage as indication that a new title or port will be announced shortly. As TG.net doesn't try to speculate nor report on rumors often we held off until an
Okay so this maybe a bit odd for many people to see on my blog. Anyone who is here to checkup on my gaming habits and thoughts on the gaming or PC industry should probably bypass this one unless you don't mind going into a bit of risque and taboo ground. I am speaking about the thing industry that made the Internet such an instant success, the pornography industry.<
Midway Games' recently delayed AAA title has just been hit with some more bad news. By way of an IGN preview it was announced that the game has had its online co-op mode cut. In lieu of the loss has been the addition of a new mode called 'Abduction' and the revelation that weapons will effect the running speed of the characters. 'Abduction' mode sees one player start as a 'Reborn,' an alien, and is tasked

First up is the announcement that subscribers will be able to select two additional difficulty modes, Elite and Hardcore. The first of which will result in nastier, smarter and more group oriented monsters, the latter disabling the resurrection ability, causing you to be left for dead.

Right I understand that, but that just means the 360 may not be their most profitable platform due to the slight increase in costs, its not even in the same league of problems as a memory issue. Its actually sad that companies will still publish games on CD or seperate SKUs for CDs and DVDs for the PC when most gamers have DVD drives. I know that from influence by the retail end of things, but still really annoying.
Memory issues is something that I can't really defend, non-upgradability is good and bad with consoles, obviously this is a bad, very bad issue. As for the 360 DVD being too small, umm use another, how many games spanned 2+ CDs back in the day for consoles and PCs, that is a very lame excuse. Sadly no matter how the PR firms spins 'multi-platform' the PC almost always gets the short end of the stick unless the title was originally developed or started development for the PC THEN went
Codemaster has announced that Rising Force Online , better known as RF Online has become "completely free-to-play." Users may now download the MMORPG and play with no subscription fee. The decision came about after the rapid expansion of Codemasters' other MMORPG, Archlord which was made free-to-play and download in August. Shortly after Archlord 's subscription was dropped the title saw a 700% increase in its player base, and pushed the game to over 1 million downloads

I still can't stand Vista, its not as terrible as Windows ME was but it still offers nothing new and breaks a lot of my favorite programs. Oh and its WAAAAY too expensive.
That is assuming that the PC port is any good. There's been many poorly done ports lately which is why I will probably hold of on this for some more concrete details.
Capcom has confirmed the return of a much loved title from the past, Bionic Commando . The series was originally introduced to the world via the arcades of the 80's before heading to the various home computers, the NES and Gameboy in the late 80's and early 90s. Rumors began making the rounds early this week of development on a 'next-gen' (seriously can we stop using that yet) version which Capcom today confirmed is in development for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 and is aptly named Bionic Comma
I feel you pain, I just moved myself and most of my stuff is still in boxes as well but my roomate has a decent enough computer which I have been using.
This is the continuation of The Orange Box review that I started the other day. You can check out my review of Team Fortress 2 here . Portal Overview Now Portal is obviously different than almost any FPS game that anyone has
Who says you can't learn stuff from videogames?
Rasori, I can't say that I like physics too much although I am a bit of a math man, I know thats weird. To me this seems like it should be simple vector addition, if you are moving at 2m/s and the bullet say moves at 10 m/s (I know its faster but just for ease of numbers) the bullet will really travel at 12 m/s so that why I figured they tried to blame the shortening of the flamethrower range on wind/air friction. Glad you enjoyed the review nonetheless, the rating by numbers ga

The Orange Box has finally released as most of you probably already know. I, like many others, bought the title a few weeks ago so I could start playing the Team Fortress 2 beta and get my skills back. I was a fan of the original Team Fortress back in my Quake days although I was ne

Perpetual Entertainment has announced that their Rome-based MMORPG has been put on "indefinite hold" just weeks after a temporary delay had been announced. The news came via the Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising official forums from Chris McKibbin and chalked up the decision to a rough and crowded landscape: "The development team established some very lofty and ambitious goals when the initial work was started on Gods & Heroes . Recently, we took a step back to evaluate the competitive
