Yes it is still in pre-release so all these things can still be fixed. However I do find it a bit worrying when a AAA exclusive game is struggling to hold its framerate in a demonstration.

by Lisa Haasbroek Want to get your girl to game? Consider getting a Wii. Since its launch, the Wii has been marketed towards non-traditional gamers, in particular female audiences and seniors.

Hellkom.co.za (an anti-Telkom website) has created quite a fancy faceplate for the xbox 360 offer that Telkom has. While the local community has an understandable general dislike for Telkom, I have to say that I am happy to see them in some way supporting the local gaming industry.

Obviously the Warner Bros. and New Line …
So once again the media around a 360 announcement got way ahead of themselves. The two biggest rumours over the last week was that either Microsoft were going to announce a new Xbox 360 Ultimate (which included everything) or that they were going to licence their gaming technologies out to third parties. The media and fanboys got themselves ready for …
There is a very interesting rumour doing the rounds this morning. A small Czech gaming site (www.hrej.cz) has been speaking to a 2K games insider and apparently Bioshock 2 is going to be a prequel. The insider is anonymous and the source page is in Czech (?) so I have no idea how authentic this is, but the moment I …
