| Battlefield Bad Company 2 VIP Map Pack Trailer | 
Gavin Mannion - March 30th, 2010 | Tomorrow’s the day that the overpriced Modern Warfare 2 map pack lands on the networks and to counter that EA will be releasing the first Battlefield Bad Company 2 map pack for the wondrous price of nothing (if you bought the game new). This tactic of giving away free DLC to people who bought the game new and charging the second hand game holders for it is a great idea in my opinion and a nice way to promote paying full retail for the game. If MW2 ... [»] |

| Kids choir sing “Still Alive” | 
Gavin Mannion - March 30th, 2010 | Portal is remembered for two things, it’s incredible physics puzzles and that song at the end.

| Sony Officially Nixes PS3 Linux Support | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 29th, 2010 | It appears the rumours from last month about Sony dropping Linux support on all PS3 units is true. Just next month Sony will be releasing firmware update 3.12 that’ll kill the system’s ability to install operating systems other than its own. If you’re one of the 3 people worldwide who actually uses that feature, it might be a good time to back up your files and migrate them to another system. SCEA's Senior Director Corporate Communications & Social Media, Patrick Seybold, says feature is being removed "due to security concerns". He also – and with a ... [»] |
