    Fireball Island review: A classic 1986 board game returns in style

    The box definitely sucks. They do have a link on their page on the order to box everything back to get it to fit. Not perfect but does help, its a blue button just past the expansion information: https://restorationgames.com/fireball-island/

    DuckTales Remastered review: The more things don’t change…

    Games that were "Nintendo Hard" I would love to see HD Remakes - As already stated, Battletoads - Demon's Crest - Lion King (one of the craziest games I spent way too much time trying to beat) - Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers (not super hard, could regularly beat) - Uniracers (god loved that game)...

    Masterpiece: <em>Starflight</em> for PC

    This reminds me of a very similar game that I had a shareware copy of, Solar Winds

    HTC attempts serious patent play against Apple in federal court

    Apple has been innovative. But they don't make money through their patents (in fact they have lost a lot of money through patent litigation vs Creative, Nokia etc. not to mention the money spent of current litigation). They can get the margins on their devices by their devices being...

    HTC attempts serious patent play against Apple in federal court

    Proof? So if you came up with something totally independent of what someone else did, then what the first person did must not have been that innovative and isn't deserving of a patent. Tell that to patent office.

    HTC attempts serious patent play against Apple in federal court

    You know that patents have become completely perverted from their original intent by what has happened with Nortel patent buyout and Motorola purchase by Google. Patents as they stand today are a tax on innovation, no matter how you look at it and in need of a desperate fix. Billions are...

    Judge orders shutdown of DVD-streaming service Zediva

    This whole thing is so convoluted and highlights how stupid copyright laws are currently. Has things become so bad that a company thought that the easiest way to build a company to stream media was to set up a DVD player farm rather than try and license. At what point does the length of...

    2K Games: new <em>Xcom</em> is like Ray Charles in the style of Kanye West

    Well add me to the list people pissed we still haven't received a proper update to this classic and this bag of crap they are making. When I first heard that a new XCom was coming out I was pumped. When I heard that it was going to be a FPS instead of a TBS game, I was disappointed...

    A reason to hate Pixar: <em>Uniracers</em> on the SNES is a masterpiece

    This game consumed both me and my sister's life for months. The multiplayer was awesome and beating all the medals. So much great time spent on this. Time to crack open the SNES again.

    Deep inside Jabu-Jabu's belly lies appeal of 3DS <em>Zelda</em>

    I may by a 3DS for this game. I loved the original on the N64.

    Walking on water: Ars reviews <em>Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery</em>

    I will probably give this a try when it comes out for my iPhone 4. However a couple of things keep bugging me in this review: "A point-and-click adventure that won't make you feel frustrated, with puzzles that often force you to simply poke around until you find the solution. It's leisurely at...

    Android apps on PlayBook tablet could be a mixed bag for platform

    1. Having multiple development environments is not a bad thing. I can't believe people actually believe this. It widens the amount of development potential for the system, allowing different software companies to target the platform that conforms to their existing strengths...

    BlackBerry PlayBook launching April 19, pre-orders start at $499 for 16GB

    They already offer it for their blackberries, I don't see why that would be a problem.

    BlackBerry PlayBook launching April 19, pre-orders start at $499 for 16GB

    That's not entirely true. For BES/BIS calendar syncing/email stuff yes, a blackberry is required (unless you wait and get one with a data plan, there are reported to not need a blackberry). However that doesn't mean you can't use third party apps or the browser for email or calendars which I...

    PlayBook a bit rough with less than 2 months to launch

    I did acknowledge there were issues: "Admittedly there are improvements to be done to the process" and an honest opinion " but if your a developer these things are minor." I don't see how saying this is not stand-up honest, and your insinuation is false. There are problems that need fixed and...

    PlayBook a bit rough with less than 2 months to launch

    He is complaining about installing SDK's and filling out forms. Admittedly there are improvements to be done to the process, but if your a developer these things are minor. And RIM has even begun to address these issues that are valid: http://devblog.blackberry.com/2011/02/t ... relations/...

    It's unofficial: dedicated gaming devices may be losing out to phones

    I guess that is why Sony is pushing the next portables as an ecosystem rather than just a new PSP. In the end, I don't think handhelds will go away. But they will be facing increasing pressure from phones and tablets. It could be a while though, the 3DS launch in Japan was pretty successful...

    Record sales spur Apple to $26.74 billion in 1Q FY2011 revenues

    Excellent quarter for Apple. No surprise on the iPod side, that market has long since been saturated, and the decline will continue as people move to smart phones. I find it funny the majority of Apple revenue/profit comes from products that didn't exist only a couple of years ago. I think...

    Universal, Sony get a clue with "on air, on sale" policy

    I agree about DVD audio. I have an Acura TL which has a DVD-A player and it is really hard to find content. However most DVD players support DVD-A disks (pretty much the same file format when you look in the disks folders through a computer) and the best way to look for stuff is the dual...
