It’s no secret that women gamers are drawn to different aspects of gaming then their male counterparts. The gaming industry is seen as a teenage boy clubhouse. While there has always been talk surrounding getting women more involved in this industry, finally a company is taking real action. “Today, I am challenging everyone to take action to help level the playing field for women pursuing a career in video games,” said Torrie Dorrell senior vice ...

Like now. Come back to it this weekend. Seriously. OK, for the rest of you, the guys behind the insanely addictive Desktop Tower Defense game we told you about last year are back. This time they have a new web site ...

Before the Chinese blogosphere had movie stars, athletes, and legions of ordinary people, reporters discussed current events and swapped stories that had been kept out of the mainstream Chinese papers, magazines, etc. Even in today’s much more diverse blog world, there are still quite a few influential blogging journalists, below is an introduction to just ...

"Digital Marketing" experts Clickz have a theory - casual games are becoming the dominant form of gameplay and are killing the console market deader than a particularly dead doornail. "We are entering a future that many in the game industry are still denying and fighting against," says Clickz's Kevin Carney, "We are watching the icon of gaming, the console, quickly and ungraciously bow to the internet." You see, it is not just any old casual ...

It won’t be long before we have a really solid baseline across the 4 major rendering engines in terms of CSS support. Gecko, Webkit, Presto and IE8’s rendering engine. But what about their graphic libraries? Graphic libraries exist to take the page from the rendering engine and onto the screen. They’ve been underexposed for some time because the rendering engines caused the most grief, but with those getting rapidly better, little annoyances with the graphic ...

The irRegular Game of Life is a weird but fun little game (by irRegular Games) based on mathematician John Horton Conway's 'Game of Life' theory. In this iteration, you are given puzzles to solve and must set the little cells into motion to meet the goals of each level. It's surprisingly hypnotic at times — after getting past the initial introductory levels, you watch the cells shuffle back and forth, creating a variety of patterns ...

We started covering Twilight earlier this year, and so far it’s been a contentious topic around the FSR offices. So contentious, that when the soundtrack was released this week, it caused some serious debate, and, with nothing else to do on a Thursday evening, Brian Gibson and Cole Abaius took to the interwebs to discuss the sounds getting us in the mood for young vampire love. The soundtrack features Muse, Paramore, The Black Ghosts, Linkin ...

November 4, 2008EditorialSo Little Time, So Much Damage While Americans eagerly vote for the next president, here’s a sobering reminder: As of Tuesday, George W. Bush still has 77 days left in the White House — and he’s not wasting a minute. President Bush’s aides have been scrambling to change rules and regulations on the environment, civil liberties and abortion rights, among others — few for the good. Most presidents put on a last-minute policy ...

The US Army is ramping up the development of technology that is "making science fiction into reality" as Dr. John Parmentola, Director of their Research and Laboratory Management, puts it. The research includes regenerating body parts on "nano-scaffolding," telepathy through electronic impulses in the scalp, and self-aware virtual photorealistic soldiers that can be deployed in the battlefield through "quantum ghost imaging." To test these they want to use them into a massively multi-player online games ...
