Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:58 PM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli Recently, we posted a story that covered sequels that vastly improved upon their predecessors. This spawned a discussion around the office regarding sequels in gaming, and we acknowledged that this medium tends to lend itself to sequels better than movies. Typically, a second entry in a game franchise improves upon the original's mechanics (and oftentimes, narrative). |
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Dawnguard Review Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:52 PM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli You don’t dabble in Skyrim. You either throw yourself into dozens of hours of exploration and combat, or you stay away. As a result, most gamers interested in Dawnguard have probably already devoted a big chunk of time to Bethesda’s open-world masterpiece. Though the vampire plotline is a tonal step removed from the rest of the game, players should have no... |
Posted: 02 Jul 2012 04:35 PM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli The past few years have ushered in a renaissance for punishingly hard games, with titles like Super Meat Boy and Dark Souls finding both critical success and dedicated audiences. As a fan of both games, I was excited to take on the XBLA version of Derek Yu’s indie rogue-like platformer, Spelunky. While the new, lighthearted art style and spot-on controls don’t... |

High Moon Developing Marvel Game Posted: 02 Jul 2012 02:45 PM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli The studio best known for creating Transformers titles War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron appears to be tackling a game from Marvel Comics next. At next week's San Diego Comic Con, Activision hosts a panel called "Marvel Video Games" where we'll learn about the Marvel Heroes MMO from Gazillion Entertainment and Avengers: Battle for Earth from... |
Microsoft Announces Limited Time Windows 8 Upgrade Discount for Windows 7, XP and Vista Users Posted: 02 Jul 2012 01:33 PM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli Are you on the fence about upgrading to Windows 8? The new Metro UI and the lack of Windows Media Center have made many Maximum PC readers vow to stockpile Windows 7 OEM discs in a drawer somewhere. Microsoft's countering the worry with a competitive price point: through January 31st, upgrading from Windows 7, XP or Vista will only cost you $39.99 for a digital download.... |

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 11:38 AM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli Rectangular keyboards reign supreme, but there are a number of alternatives available that purportedly offer better ergonomics. Some of them feature rather minor tweaks, like the curvy Microsoft Natural keyboard, and others are downright funky (we're looking at you, Maltron). Could the same principle be applied to virtual planks on smartphones? Microsoft may be getting ready... |
Amazon Cloud Outage Knocked Out Netlfix, Instagram, and Pinterest Posted: 02 Jul 2012 11:37 AM PDT FG_AUTHORS: Amit Teli Internet junkies addicted to Netflix, Instagram, and Pinterest had to find something else to occupy their time over the weekend. All three services, plus some others like BlackBerry Mobile, were down for a period of a time after severe thunder storms rolled through the D.C. area, resulting in significant power outages and knocking out Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud in... |
