Gears of War for the PC ships with a problem, but there’s a fix

Microsoft should be paying me for this: more Halo 3 ads

Yes, the Halo 3 onslaught continues. Here are a couple more Halo 3 ads. Thankfully, Master Chief didn’t have to fight huge lizards for these clips.

This one’s pretty good. I love the way the Spiker looked, and when the veteran picked it up, the weapon seemed really heavy. Have I mentioned that the video had […]

You can play Bioshock in Singapore, but you still can’t chew gum

Patrick, the Ironic Gamer, posted news that Bioshock, the spiritual successor to System Shock 2, is not banned in Singapore. This news comes as a relief to all the gamers in Sunny Island because as you may have heard previously, The Darkness was banned in the city-state.
