We're not journalists, we're just gamers who are tired of the "Real Journalists" only supporting one side at the expense of gaming at large. If you've come here looking for news and innovations in entertainment, then you've come to the right place.

Hi folks, Cooper Hawkes here with an interesting news item: "Your Existing Code? Throw it Away""Technologically, I think every game developer should be terrified of the next generation of processors. Your existing code, you can just throw it away.

This one is looking more and more promising. I'm at least glad that they showed a snippet of it in motion at the tokyo conference. I loved the first two as they combined to suck up hours of my life.Now if only EA will show us some screens and vids from their next-gen Burnout game......

Playing Halo 2 on XBOX Live leads to discovering many level-obsessed morons who go to any means necessary in order to win. What means are these? Well it used to be the many cheats that were available, but as Halo 2 has updated their matchmaking system several times whenever a new cheat has been found, these are becoming rarer. Recently they fixed the teleport glitch where people on levels such as

To those of you using Firefox: on behalf of the whole crew, I apologize for the troubles you're having with the tables. We know they're there, and, being "the resident Firefox guru", I'm digging into the code to try to fix it. The problem seems to lie somewhere within the template, and the last post with the floatwrapping seems to have brought it out. If anyone knows a remedy, please email me

As most of you already know, NCAA 06 is out now and for the most part has got high praise. I myself enjoy it quite a bit and consider to be better than NCAA 04 which was the best in the series up until now. In a couple of weeks we will see the release of Madden 06 (Xbox, PS2, GC) which this year will be the only game in town if you want some NFL action. I bring this up because there are a lot

Just four months from now, video gamers aching to upgrade to a next-generation console should be able to shell out 300 bucks or so for a Microsoft Xbox 360. Or they can wait a few more months and make a more informed decision once they see what Sony's PlayStation 3 (PS3) and Nintendo's Revolution have to offer.For a gamer champing at the bit, it's a tough decision, sort of like playing the

"Everyone wants to know what Halo 3 is going to be all about, and a fresh batch of rumors have been making the rounds- many which donÂ’t sound that far-fetched. Word is that the game will include both a map-editor and amovie-making function, which will come on a separate disc. Players will be able to send their creations to each other via Xbox Live.
