When your a big gaming company and someone reveals a glitch in the game they usually patch it, or deny all knowledge of it. Usually. The company usually also doesn't try to tote the "glitch" off as a feature. Unless your EA. And have Tiger Woods backing you up. With Jesus Hacks. Below is the commercial for the new Tiger Woods 09 and all I can say is well played EA, well played.
First the bad news is for PC gamers. IGN has posted an interview with Epic's CliffyB, where he reveals that Epic has no plans for a PC version of Gears of War 2.
IGN: Does this mean you are planning a Windows version of "Gears of War 2"?
CliffyB: Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we're focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We've decided we're not going to do a PC version this time around.
The good news is Linked Achievements and Unlockable characters. You can unlock 3 characters (Carmine, Kim and RAAM) in GoW 2 if you earn the Achievements
in Gears 1 through Xbox 360 or PC, provided you are using the same
Gamertag. Just like the first game, you can unlock the "Insane" difficulty level by completing the game. In Gears 2, you will also have the opportunity to unlock additional characters for multiplayer including:
Ben Carmine, Dizzy Wallin, Tai Kalis, Locust Kantus, Flame Grenadier and a new villain that they will reveal very soon.
With the cost of technology dropping every hour and laptops and desktops becoming more available its no wonder that Microsoft is enjoying the increased sales of Vista. However a recent study by Devil Mountain found that up to 35% of people who participated had a computer that had a Vista license that was downgraded to XP.
Either the vendor (HP, Toshiba, Dell, etc) downgraded the unit or the customer bought XP and downgraded themselves. The results may be a bit skewed as the survey only got 3000 volunteers, hardly a respectable sample size but it does point a trend out. XP is still very alive even though Microsoft stopped support for it.
It's much easier for on line orders to have the unit downgraded. Units that are bought in store come preinstalled with Vista, and the customer has to buy a copy of XP to install it or they have to refuse the EULA and contact the manufacturer to get XP on the system. However, there is rumor that many of the newer units that came out after Microsoft stopped support for XP won't be able to install it due to motherboard restrictions. So it appears that the only choice to get XP is the waning market of older computers with XP. Nothing like a 512mb Celeron Lenovo with XP to make you enjoy your friends Vista computer.
If you have been living in a cave you may have missed that Diablo 3 has been announced and blizzard has a small teaser website with 5 minutes of footage and artwork and hours worth of speculation all across the forums. There really haven't been any major updates since the website went public.
Execs at blizzard are saying the reason they are bringing back the barbarian is because they felt he could be done better. They felt he wasn't done well enough in the previous games to take him out. Blizzard has no plans however to bring back anymore of the previous cast members.
One such member that will not be making a comeback is the necromancer. Blizzard felt that they had done him correctly and he was near flawless in his design. The witch doctor bears some of the similarities of the necromancer but many people argue that they feel it would be too watered down from the original necromancer to be of any use. Only time will tell.
Do you have an Nvidia card in your system. Well chances are you have a defective card. What kinds of odds. Do you have an Nvidia 8400, or 8600 series card? Sources have leaked information that all, yes every single Nvidia 84 or 86 series card may be defective. That is a huge model lineup of possibly bad cards. So all of you 8800, 9 series and mobile cards are lucky. Well you guessed wrong too. More research is citing that the faulty parts that were in the 8x series are also in pretty much every other Nvidia card up to the 9800.
The faulty part basically deals with how the card cools down the card. So the cards are actually melting due to faulty temperature management. Repair companies are seeing a huge influx of display problems with computers with any of the Nvidia cards. The parts are based of the G84, G86, G92, G94 series type cards. Nvidia has denied absolutely all wrongdoing. They have only admitted to the bad mobile chip sets that were supposedly only given to HP as OEM parts. This has also proven to be false as many other manufacturers are seeing more and more problems and in some cases have to exchange laptops at their own expense because Nvidia will no provide enough support.
