Well, for one thing it looks like much of their scoring is based on whether or not the company has a web link to a pretty policy statement, not any sort of physical examination of the products manufactured or byproducts of the process. I don't think "the environment" cares how green a company's WEBSITE looks.

I know that's pure biting sarcasm, but you still need a kick in the jewels just in case Uwe saw it and didn't get the sarcasm part. ;)

yeah, the genius A.I. demonstration at the end was a questionable choice. That, and the game isn't even out and it's already infested with bunny-hoppers.

Because they lose money on every PS3 they sale, but don't want to lose as much on every Blu-ray player.

Maybe Portal 2 will take longer than 1:15 to run through, and have multiplayer... we can hope.

I may have actually enjoyed that hour and 15 minutes more than all the time I've spent playing TF2.

ok, that's a half-decent choice for Balrog, though Terry Crews might have been better. Still seems a crap call on Chun-Li, girl has no muscle mass.

When it worked, it was really good. On every machine I ever saw it played, the gamer had to remember to save before and after every battle because it'd crash randomly and horribly, sometimes even to BSOD.

Ah, the good ol' days.

More players does not mean a better game. Joint Operations (on PC) supported up to 150 players, but the game was crap when you had that many people even on a huge map. It was great when played with 12-24 people, but more than that and there was no point in "tactics", just attrition.

Well, I have a xbox360 HD-DVD player, and precisely two HD movies... King Kong (because it came with the device) and Batman Begins (because it's awesome), so I didn't exactly lose much. With the low-band market of Wal-Mart gone, that pretty much ends all doubt.

Because he probably wouldn't have gotten off nearly as many shots. In Florida (of all places) you can actually use deadly force in defense of a perfect stranger. Street crime sorta backs off when the criminals who don't care about gun laws can't always know who's packing.

Exactly. If I had a total hardware and data failure, it'd be my fault for not having all that code backed up somewhere. However, if they allow my device to disappear and wind up in someone else's possession, that's another matter entirely.

Aye, the Savage was a good card at the time, had 'em in 2 of my PC's. Of course, "that time" lasted about 3 months, and they were out of the high-end market, but they did have their moment in the sun.

Point of functionality, the upper turrets seem to be fixed-elevation, which makes them 99% useless as a real combat weapon. I concur, it looks like it was made to look cool, not made to function.

Well, at our game center we've had 4 out of 12 xbox 360's die. Then again, they were all original models, so I can't speak as to the reliability of the new redesign.

Well, general political affiliations aside, it's hard to see why someone invested in the video game industry would ever contribute to the current Democratic candidates because of the common "government knows what's good for you better than you do" stance. Except the trial lawyer from EA, that's to be expected. For some reason, trial lawyers LOVE the Democrat party... you can draw from that what you will.

The PC is still the home of "indie" gamers, where great ideas can be fleshed out without spending millions on the basics. The Xbox Live Arcade seems to be stepping into that area, but it still doesn't allow for large-content games.

Ta-da! Just as predicted by the mystical phirewind magic 8-ball of love. Or, at least, the obvious outcome. Next I wonder if there'll be some sort of adjustable throttling option, i.e. 30% of the GPU dedicated to physics, 70% to graphics, etc. Probably a lot more difficult than just overlaying a GPU hardware abstraction layer on top of the PhysX code.

If my laptop disappeared under warranty repair, I'd probably have to sue for an insane amount as well due to the amount of proprietary and third-party source code that I have to keep on it for my job. I hope she actually wins the full amount just to make retailers understand that it is FAR better for their bottom line to protect their customers.

They mention Tolkein estate's reluctance to sue lightly... and I get the feeling the mean it, considering all of the material you see "ripped" out of Tolkein's work over the past decades, and the lack of frivolous lawsuits by HarperCollins to own World of Warcraft. ;)

Nail, meet Coffin. Coffin, meet HD-DVD. You three play nice.

I must say I am actually surprised over what looks to be the final outcome. This is possibly the first winner that Sony has ever picked in a media format war. Of course, this is also the first time they have their fingerprints all over about half the media to be distributed on said format, so that helped.

Couldn't totally blame the Bradley driver from that camera angle, with that one van stopped and waiting for 'em it could have been impossible to see that last car passing on the left, which is why there's a law against that in the u.s.
