    Battlefield: Hardline Demo Appears on PlayStation 4 Store

    A few minutes ago a new entry appeared on the PlayStation Store via the PlayStation 4. I snapped a couple of images for it but was unable to actually find a means of downloading the demo.


    As you can see, it's listed as the "Omaha" Demo, which is one of the internal codenames for Battlefield: Hardline. I wouldn't get too excited just yet as it's entirely possible that this is going to be used for internal testing or for a very closed beta that the public will...

    It's almost a guarantee these days that there will be a delay for some Star Citizen based release. This time, it's a delay for the Arena Commander V0.8. Chris Roberts, the face of Roberts Space Industries, gave the bad news to irate fans and backers of the nearly non-existent game.
    Today at 4:00 PM PST, I sat down with Star Citizen’s production leads for a ‘go/no-go’ meeting. We went around the virtual table, like a ground control team preparing to launch a rocket, and the

    Epic Patching Out GameSpy from Unreal Tournament 3

    Epic Games has pushed out an update for Unreal Tournament 3 that shifts the game off of using GameSpy to using another master server. If you have the Steam version the patch should be coming soon and be automatically updated as games on Steam tend to be.
