Filed under: Culture While a similar publicity stunt in LA went off with relatively little drama, it appears the Mercenaries 2 petrol giveaway in London was "irresponsible and dangerous," according to local residents. The BBC reports that traffic was gridlocked as drivers waited to get their £40-worth ($70) of gratis gas. The promotion started at 6:30AM and ran until police apparently shut it down. Local residents were quite upset about the traffic and honking the ...

Will Wright’s Spore officially comes out on Tuesday, and it’s already raking in the positive press. But perhaps you want to play the game this weekend, what do you do then? You turn to BitTorrent, of course. Release group RELOADED cracked the game’s SecureROM encryption, and now the game’s all over the usual sites: The Pirate Bay, Mininova, etc. (I probably shouldn’t link to it, but you know how to find it, I’m sure.) You’ll ...

I may not understand the appeal of Spore but our very own Greglet (Greg Kumparak) had this to say, No matter what anyone says, Spore will be successful. It’ll sell a shit ton of copies, and eat thousands upon thousands of hours that would be better focused on the real world. Gaming editors around the country seem to agree and have given the EA title favorable scores. IGN’s Jason Ocampo gave it an 8.8/10, which ...

You may think that EA's support of the original Xbox — it released both Madden NFL 08 and Madden NFL 09 for the console — showed serious dedication to legacy platforms. How does Genesis support sound? If you thought "bat shit insane" then you might be surprised to learn that versions of FIFA 2008, Need for Speed: Pro Street, The Sims 2, and SimCity are being ported to the 16-bit Sega platform for the release ...

Filed under: PC, Simulations, Metareviews The review embargo lifted on Spore today, and the critics wasted no time weighing in on Will Wright's oft-delayed opus. The general consensus seems to be that an amazing level of quality is there, but depth may not be, which is really the last complaint we ever expected anyone to level at Spore. Go figure.

Don't get me wrong, I am really looking forward to this game, but machine-gun-equipped, war-crying, kilt-wearing cartoon characters is a bit over the top. In this new video we get a look at all of the chaotic hilarity that will ensue in Victory Village. You can download and play the game free of charge later this year on PC.

While the online press wait patiently at the starting line, hobbled by a reviews embargo, there's no stopping magazines from getting their Spore reviews out amongst the public. And the first three are in! Two are from German mags - PC Games and Gamestar - while one's from the British edition of PC Gamer. PC Gamer, they're on-board, giving the game 91%.

Mirror's Edge is coming out on PlayStation 3. Then again, it's coming out on Xbox 360, too. And the PC. How are we gonna tell the versions apart? Or if you've got all three platforms, which one will you get? This might help. Sony have confirmed that they've signed a deal with EA, which will see the PS3 receive exclusive DLC. No idea what it is, exactly, or how exclusive it really is; there's no ...

Last week - and this got a little lost amidst all the Leipzig washup - Nvidia held their Nvision 08 get-together. And at Nvision, EA were showing off Mirror's Edge, while also divulging for the first time the game's system specs. For those worried that the game's super-fast, super-clean visuals would demand a super-expensive rig, relax! The minimum specs are quite generous. Though being minimum specs, as always, your actual mileage may vary. CPU: Pentium ...

Electronic Arts está regalando indiscriminadamente copias on-line de su antológico ‘Red Alert’. No es ninguna broma. La actitud de la desarrolladora viene a consecuencia de la celebración del 13º aniversario del nacimiento del ‘Red Alert’ original. Esta versión parece que sí está optimizada para Windows XP y es 100% compatible con el sistema operativo de Microsoft. Detalles así son de agradecer.
