Geoffrey Tim - March 8th, 2012 | Those of you who’ve played EA and DICE’s fighting-for-the-shooter-crown Battlefield 3 on consoles and Pc would know that besides the obvious difference; better graphics, bigger multiplayer maps and mouse and keyboard support; there’s another element that makes playing multiplayer games on the PC a better experience; custom servers.

| Street Fighter X Tekken on the 360 denies local team online play | 
Geoffrey Tim - March 7th, 2012 | It’s looking more and more like the Xbox 360 version of Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken is gimped. Not only does it have fewer playable characters (though many of them are on the disc), but it looks like you won’t be able to invite a friend around, and have them join you in some co-op matches online - though you’ll be able to do just that on the PS3. The manual for the game says otherwise - but it’s ... [»] |

| Guild Wars 2 is confirmed for consoles. Again. | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 16th, 2012 | Guild Wars is a different sort of MMO. Its most important distinction, I think, is that it has no subscription fees, and isn’t built on a free-to-play or freemium model. Buying the game allows you play it online for as long as you like, with the same available gears and perks as everybody else. There’s also none of that Microtransactions nonsense. ... [»] |

| Xbox Live’s General Manager responds to security concerns | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 8th, 2012 | In honour of "Safer Internet Day" (whatever the heck that is) Xbox Live’s general manager Alex Garden took to Major Nelson’s blog to make a statement about Xbox Live and its recent security woes. He says users need to be mindful of the information they give out on the internet - but curiously doesn’t actually mention the problem, defending the service’s security measure."Last year, there was a surge of personal information being ...

| Nobody wants Psychonauts 2 | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 7th, 2012 | I don’t know if you played Psychonauts, the platformer from Tim Schafer’s Double Fine - but you should have. Though it’s admittedly a little overrated (especially when seen through rose-tinted nostalgia glasses), it’s a wonderful, deliciously funny and story-laden puzzle platformer. People have been begging Tim Schaefer for a ... [»] |

| Xbox Live’s Law Enforcer hands in his banhammer | 
Geoffrey Tim - February 6th, 2012 | StepTo, known as Stephen Toulouse to his mum is a name many Xbox Live users - especially those who’ve erred on the side of douchebaggery - should be well acquainted. As Microsoft Live’s head of online law enforcement, StepTo was responsible for wielding - and swinging the service’s digital banhammer - making Xbox Live a nicer place than it could have been.

| How one innocent Xbox Live gamer got the ban-hammering of a lifetime | 
Darryn Bonthuys - February 2nd, 2012 | Xbox Live is one of those services that usually offers top-notch support when technical matters arise, and with an increase in hacking, cheating and piracy on its systems lately, the support staff has had its hands absolutely full.
Of course, not every case can end in victory, and every now and then, a subscriber is unjustly banned or warned. But this tale of fraudulent ... [»] |
