Before any upgrade, ask yourself if the company that makes the product has a track record of solid upgrades. Similarly, ask yourself if the company supports its products well, especially new ones. For example, if you're buying the latest update in a long line, like the newly released Grado SR80e headphones over their…

I just played through Diablo III UEE on PS3. You can increase the difficulty all the way to Master level without beating it. I actually cranked up the difficulty as soon as I could, in order to level more quickly and find better items sooner. You can't change the difficulty by more than one notch in a single play…

This guy sounds like a young, gamer Mike Rowe, both in his voice and in his humble demeanor. Love it.

Emma Emmerich was "E. E." and now this dog is "D. D." Coincidence?

To be fair, the aliens scene (which can occur very early on—I think it's just a side mission) really marked the point that GTA5 started to win me over. The beginning felt very generic and by-the-numbers. It was totally competent and well-executed, but everything felt expected. The alien scene threw a curveball and…

iOS actually has a SimCity game. It's been on 99 cent sale a bunch of times. Unfortunately, according to the reviews, it has game-breaking bugs once your city grows to a certain size (e.g. water stops flowing properly), so I've never actually picked it up.

Steve Jobs had a rare form of cancer that was actually quite treatable. He took this blessing and squandered it on alternative medicine, not opting for standard medical treatment until it was too late. It was such a sad waste.

Hopefully it's better than Investigations 1. That game suffered from a double whammy of not-very-interesting cases, and overly literal translation. One of the things that made Phoenix Wright 1 so good was the excellent job done by the translators; there were a lot of changes to the script to make it more accessible to…

You hit the nail on the head for Ace Attorney puzzles. A variation on that theme is when you start thinking two steps ahead. Sometimes I've run into trouble when I've figured out a contradiction, and then I find some dialogue where it makes sense to show the evidence in question, but actually the game expects me to…

Will any of these changes make it to PS3 (or even PS4)?

As a PS4 owner, this is good news. But realistically this belongs on iPad. And not some F2P "99 cents for another try, or share on Facebook!" monstrosity. Just a regular one-purchase $9.99 iPad game.

I'm actually really impressed at how well they're doing the facial animation. Yeah, he's looking like a doof. But most game engines and models don't even have the flexibility to allow their characters to make those doofy expressions. It's not like the animation looks broken; those are real doofy faces that people can…

Isn't it time to kick Don't Starve off the list? To me, it's much much more forgettable than Tomb Raider or MGS5 or Rayman Legends.

(I'd say the graphics are closer to the iOS port, Phoenix Wright HD Trilogy).

The Gigabyte BRIX that this was based on got bad reviews due to tons of heat and extremely loud fans. It basically couldn't even run at its specced levels of performance due to thermal limits. Please let us know, does this unit have similar cooling issues? You should be able to tell just by running any benchmark for…
