Battle vs Chess Announced
by Scott Tortorice on 15 Mar, 2010 (1 day 23 hours ago)
 

Anybody who knows me knows that I am a dedicated chess player for a whole host of reasons that I have explored in my blog.  There is just something…unique about the Royal Game.  It possesses an elegance that has often been shabbily imitated by other strategy games, but has yet to be successfully duplicated.  Strategy, tactics and the classic battle of wits, all in a convenient package that can be played anywhere.  What more could you want?    
 
You could want some skull-splitting mayhem!  Chess may be many things, but it is most definitely not an...

World of Tanks Reveals Tank Trees
by Scott Tortorice on 12 Mar, 2010 (4 days 23 hours ago)
 

I didn’t realize that tanks grew on trees (darn public school education!). Regardless, Wargaming.net’s World of Tanks is yet another forthcoming wargame that has piqued my curiosity with its modern graphics engine and its trendy gameplay mechanics - in this case, MMO mechanics. While actual gameplay details are still scarce, it does seem like Wargaming.net is going for that sweet spot between realism and fun. This is yet another 2010 game to keep an eye on.

Today, Wargaming.net revealed the first details on the game’s upgrade and development system for American, German and Soviet tank lines. I guess this is more than a little important when you have a game that sports over 150...

OnLive to Go Live in June
by Scott Tortorice on 11 Mar, 2010 (5 days 21 hours ago)
 

If you haven’t already heard, OnLive is a potentially revolutionary step in gaming.  What is it?  Well, OnLive is the brainchild of Steve Perlman, of WebTV and QuickTime fame, and will allow gamers to play any game from any platform as easily as they can view a YouTube video.  

Stop and think about that for a second.  ...As easily as you can view a YouTube video.

You see, Onlive utilizes “cloud computing” technology.  What that means is that there is no need to download software or, for that matter, even have a computer.  All you need is something that can access the video stream.

A.C.E. 2 version 1.0 released for ArmA II
by Scott Tortorice on 9 Mar, 2010 (1 week 1 day ago)
 

ArmA II is one of those games that you either love or hate.  In fact, to call it a ‘game’ is a mistake as ArmA II is an authentic military simulator with a heritage that stretches all the way back to the original Operation Flashpoint (not to be confused with Codemasters dreadful sequel, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising).  It is a ground combat simulator (and decent air sim, for that matter) that is simply unrivaled.  Period.

Unfortunately, because it is a true simulator and not a mere game, people who are looking for another CoD: Modern War 2 clone are often infuriated by the game's hardcore and deadly combat model.  Try to play Rambo in ArmA II...
