Google’s Chrome exited beta last December, well ahead of when you might normally expect a Google product to do so. It wasn’t, however, because the browser was necessarily ready for prime time; it was because OEMs would not pre-install a beta product on their computers, and Google longed for those deals.

So I don’t know how much of a surprise this is to anyone but Games Industry and Games Beat is reporting that we shouldn’t expect to see a Ps4 or a XBox 720 anytime soon.
In fact, we’ll probably see a PS3.5 instead.
Personally, that doesn’t make me the least bit sad since I can’t see me buying a brand new [really expensive] system every couple of years. The $600 I paid for my 20GB Ps3 was painful to pay – though worth it – and the thought of paying that again anytime soon makes me a bit sick to my stomach.

It’s going to be a very dark month for some people at Maxis as EA announces that they are cutting back at the popular gaming studio.
I’m not sure how much of a surprise this announcement really is since back in 2008, it was announced that EA was already planning on cutting jobs since games like Need for Speed: Undercover, Mirror’s Edge and Rock Band 2 had been under preforming.
Then again, with The Sims franchise being the top selling franchise in history, you would think that Maxis would be cushioned from this downsizing.
It’s sad but inevitable these days.
Hopefully the people who […]

Bloomberg and GamePolitics.com are reporting that the FCC is considering [again] going to a single ratings system for everything – TV, music, games, movies, cell phone content…you get the idea.
An agency report is supposed to be read before Congress today on “media blocking and rating techniques” and then the FCC is supposed to start an inquiry into the whole idea of creating an across the board rating system.
While I can see how some people may think this is a good idea, it will only serve to completely confuse parents.
ESRB has been around since ‘94 and parents and kids alike are […]

Like Jeanne said, Halo 3: ODST {Orbital Drop Shock Trooper} is coming out toward the end of September and with it, you’ll get three new maps: Heretic, Citadel and Longshore.
Citadel is all about close combat since the map is small and cramped and if you suck at communication with your team then you might be best served to avoid the map.
Heretic looks like Midship from Halo 2 so if you played the map in the previous game then you should be right back in your comfort zone.
Longshore is a horse of a map with tons of industrial buildings, cat walks […]
