  • Ubisoft Tries to Feed Load of Crap to World, Claims 60FPS is Less Cinematic and 30FPS Feels Better

Most of the time, people are a little bit upset but they eventually come to realize that 30fps is still okay and they're glad that the developer was straight forward with them. Then there are times like this where a studio throws a bunch of complete BS in the consumer's face and says it's for the best while somehow keeping a straight face through it all. Ubisoft has come out to say that they ...

    Op-ed: Stop Supporting GamerGate

    It's not often that I read something from either The Verge or Polygon and go, "wow, that is a fantastic piece of writing and I would like to share that with my readers!"

"We still probably have a lot of players who won't trust us to deliver a stable launch or a stable game. I don't want to say anything because I want to do.

    Here is Why the Free PlayStation+ Version of Driveclub is Delayed

    After nearly a day of silence on the matter, a reason was finally given for why the free PlayStation+ version of Driveclub is not out yet.

    PSA: Dragon Age: Origins is Free on Origin

    For a limited time, you can pick up Dragon Age: Origins for free through EA's "On the House" program for Origin. Right now, that's a savings of about $20 (USD).
