  Rumor: Gears of War Remaster Coming to the Xbox One

  The latest rumor that seems entirely plausible is that the original Gears of War will be getting the remaster treatment for the Xbox One. The remaster will obviously sport updated visuals and updated cutscenes. Microsoft is reportedly working on the remaster with either (depending on which rumor you want to believe) Black Tusk Studios or Splash Damage on the remaster. Plastic Wax is reportedly being utilized to handle the cutscene animations. Previously, it was rumored that Micros...

  Op-Ed: Paying for Game Mods? No Thanks

  Recently, Valve introduced the ability to have mod makers put a price on the mods they make. I don't support it. I won't support modders that try to sell me a sword for $2. I won't support those that try to sell me a pack of mods, some of which were free for years, for more than the normal cost of the game itself.
  
  

  
  

  
  I'm all for supporting mod makers but the way Valve is attempting to do it, is not the right way of going about it. Set up an optional donation...

  In the next 50 years, technological advancements will lead us into a world where only those who risk going too far, will find out how far we can actually go.
