We’re headed to E3. Full coverage on MechaWorks sites, of course. But, as the MechaWorks Jobs page has given away… that’s not the only reason that we’ll be there. So, if you’re looking to score a job in the industry (especially if you’re out of work), and you’ll be at E3, head on over there […]
I’ve been hounded by emails pretty much non-stop ever since TheStreet.com reported on a potential Apple/Electronic Arts deal. Apple doesn’t buy companies like EA. Apple buys small to mid-range companies with large amounts of intellectual property. That IP can be tapped and used to make new chips, add multi-touch to iPhone, and all sorts of […]
Scarred and tired, Jack Bauer has been infected by a supervirus and must take on a derelict PMC, hellbent on world domination. Sound familiar? If you’ve played Metal Gear Solid 4, you’ve officially been there and done that. I’ve long talked off-the-blog about 24’s continual ripping off of Metal Gear Solid. People have finally started […]
It’s pretty rare that I council ISPs on how to do their jobs. Okay, fine, I do that about every five minutes on this blog. But, here I’m going to focus on one topic that has popped up recently; OnLive. As you may know, OnLive promises lag free gaming from your web browser. I’m not […]
Yes, I will be at GDC. Most of my time will be in meetings as we work on an upcoming project. However, as I always do, I am open to sitting down with just about everyone in the industry. From fans to interested future employees, it’s all fair game. So, if you are interested in […]
A little over a week ago, NVIDIA finally expanded their support of mobile chipsets with ForceWare drivers. Previously, only a couple of graphics cards in NVIDIA-powered laptops could use NVIDIA’s stock driver. Sure, there has always been laptopvideo2go.com (which hacks the desktop ForceWare drivers to work on laptops), but this has at times caused problems… […]
Here’s a Christmas gift I wasn’t expecting… Kega Fusion has been ported to Mac OS X! Kega Fusion is one of the most popular SEGA Genesis + CD + 32X emulators out there, and the developer has just finished porting it as his first Mac app. This really opens up a lot of potential for […]
I don’t like when companies over generalize. So, when iD CEO Todd Hollenshead made the following remarks, I got a little ticked. Basically, iD is asserting that Quake ports to iPhone must be sanctioned by iD, in order to be released: “Hollenshead informed us that ZodTTD’s port would be illegal and not sanctioned by the […]
The latest ads from Nintendo are a perfect example of a bad TV advertisement. In case you haven’t seen them, they feature pop star women using Nintendo DS with assorted games (Brian Age, Nintendogs, Mario, etc). That’s fine, but the format of the ad is worse than bad… it’s alienating. Yes, this is pretty much […]
It’s been awhile since the Xbox team did something stupid. Fortunately, this week they did something stupid… with gusto! In a nutshell, in case you haven’t heard, Microsoft has announced that they have tenative plans to stop selling certain Xbox Live Arcade games which both have low review scores, and have a low “conversion rate” […]
