July 10th, 2009 by Edwin in General Gaming News

EVE: The Burning Life to be published
July 6th, 2009 by Edwin in General Gaming News
I don’t know about you, but books and additional stories written to expand a certain science fiction universe tend to skip my radar as I prefer what I’ve seen on the silver screen as the director intended, and no more than that. Well, I suppose that there is always room for those who are real hardcore fans of a particular series like Star Wars, Star Trek and Starcraft (this is a game), so kudos to writers of such series for garnering such dedicated following. Computer games might be equally loved as movies, but how many of those actually spawn a decent novel? CCP is the latest to join the fray, announcing a grand space opera set in the universe of EVE Online, where it will be known as EVE: The Burning Life and will be published in November 2009.

Xfire in-game web browser
February 10th, 2009 by Edwin in General Gaming News
Xfire is a gaming company that has had some success in the past, and this time round they have released what is sorely missing from most games – an in-game web browser. Wait a minute here, you say, what the heck are we supposed to do with such a browser while we’re in the heat of a battle? Won’t reading an FAQ be detrimental to the overall gaming experience? Apparently not, as this in-game web browser will come in handy for a whole bunch of other folks who prefer to check from time to time a walkthrough or tutorial in an RPG which they are stuck in. Gamers who currently use Xfire technology to chat with their friends, take screenshots and capture game-play video now have no need to press Alt-Tab and be removed from the game, since you can press Scroll Lock + W to launch the new web browser in-game.

Both Microsoft Corp. and Netflix Inc. must be pleased to know that their partnership has reaped the rewards of hitting the magical 1 million mark where Xbox LIVE Gold members are concerned since their groundbreaking Xbox LIVE application from Netflix was launched last November. In under three months, the entire Xbox LIVE community have already spent a collective total of 1.5 billion minutes of their lives watching movies and TV episodes. Hmmm, staying in when the economy isn’t too bright is always a good thing, right, although there needs to be a careful balance of stashing cash away just in case the economy does not receive enough internal spending to move forward.
