PC gaming is dying. How many times have you heard this phrase uttered in the last three years? I know I've had my fill of it. But PC is very much alive, getting a lot of releases and some big hits (like the World of Warcraft expansion called Wrath of the Lich King or Stardock's Sins of a Solar Empire) and t... |

Hollywood is certainly interested in making movies based on games. Probably because it's so hard these days for script writers to come up with a decent movie idea and it's much easier to just copy one from a game and add some side stories. Most of the recent movies based on games that we saw weren't O... |

I had my doubts about Fallout 3, especially when the less than stellar E3 videos appeared earlier in the summer. Now we have new videos from the PAX show and the game seems to be much more of a successor to the previous two versions than a simple, mod-like, Oblivion with guns game. What's still missing is a... |

Since Mass Effect was such a successful title, I believe that nobody is surprised to hear that Bioware is looking to milk as much money as possible out of their first game in the trilogy.

Don't you just love it when politicians elected by people who barely know how to use the Internet and people who believe Fox News when it talks about Mass Effect decide to create laws that target videogames?

BioWare is on the verge of wiping out the PC piracy problem. And the company will not do this by adding more and more DRM to its titles, as Electronic Arts might want. The way to get rid of pirates, the BioWare style, is to create copious amounts of downloadable content and to increase the fidelity of PC gamers.Ray M... |

When was the last time you sat down in front of a computer to fire up a role playing game or an adventure title, and then spent the next 6 hours staring at the screen as you leveled up, talked your way through dialog scenes and battled monsters?

Last week, Electronic Arts dropped what might have been a bombshell in the gaming world, by announcing that both the PC version of Mass Effect and Spore would have a new kind of protection (I'll call it DRM) that would require the game to once activate through the Internet when it's installed and then to tr... |

So it was bound to spawn a sequel. Well, in the case of Mass Effect, two sequels which BioWare is currently working hard on, while at the same time ... |

Microsoft is, for once, keeping its word regarding games.

We already know that BioWare has made our day by announcing that it plans to release the beloved RPG Mass Effect for PC sooner than anybody would've hoped - this May, but the details were pretty scarce.

Mass Effect from Bioware is without any doubt the most promising RPG we’ve seen on the Xbox 360. Even if it’s been plagued by some weird bugs and it drew a lot of attention with a nudity scandal, Bioware’s title remains a must-have. If you’re not scared by the long and arduous conversations the game is based on, then... |
