You have to adjust for inflation. What cost $50 back in 2001 would cost $63.96 now.

That may seem like quite a lot for a handheld game, but the Vita ain't your average handheld. It's a sixth-gen home console in the palm of your hand.

I've been playing games long enough to remember when stuff like this was either patched in for free or sold as a separate, highly-substantial expansion pack.

Watch. One of the first mods for the PC version will probably mess around with the leveling system.

Oh my god. Hearted!

Persuade, Intimidate, Bribe, Brawl.

Naturally, I'm not the first one to think of this particular swap. Wow, can you imagine what that thing drives like?

I always thought it'd be cool to take a Karmann Ghia, swap an EJ20 into it and give it GUNNM decals. If anything, it'd be really damn fast. So fast, I'd be able to hide my embarrassment; there wouldn't be enough time for anyone to see and/or photograph the decals, since they'd be much too blurry at those speeds.

YES.

Virtual-reality tech will probably see use in the military before us civilians get our hands on it. It has an alarming degree of potential in that area, both in training troops and when directly applied to warfare itself. A commander on the battlefield could be given the experience of actually being wherever the…

This is one of the main reasons why the idea of implanted, sense-jacking virtual-reality games scares me. What if you run into a glitch? What if the game crashes or the hardware malfunctions while you're playing? What would that feel like?

Virtual Reality Implant + Minecraft = Never Leaving Your House Ever, Ever Again

Reminds me of that scene from Minority Report:

An implant of this type could be used to do far, far more than just gaming.

A lot of people don't know this, but Xbox is shorthand for "DirectX Box", because many of the console's planned features initially came straight from the DirectX team.

Do you know what I hate about PSN? Bluetooth headsets for voice communication. I've got a 360, PS3 and Wii (plus a bunch more sixth-gen consoles and some handhelds, along with my desktop gaming rig), so you could say that I'm a multiplatform gamer. While playing the BF3 beta, I ran into people whose headsets produced…
