Wasted?!? i beg to differ

Nasa guides Mars Rover with Kinect

God help them if they are using the kinect to control it, worst motion gaming device on the market

Lego ponders Portal pack

I honestly think this would be a huge fail

I mean yeh these sets would be good for collectors, but kids are the major consumer group of lego, not 45 year old blokes with nothing better to spend their wages on.

I cant see that many kids saying "I want the lego portal playset for christmas"

I honestly think they'd be better off making a half life set, at least kids would be able to do something other than build a non working test chamber.

Panasonic Eluga DL1 waterproof Android

They really ought to just market this off the fact that it's waterproof and nothing else

Reloaded Doom 3 shoots onto shelves this autumn

Arnt all these games vapourware now? meaning you can just download them for free if you really want to?

Speedball 2 Brutal Deluxe

Brutal Sports Football anyone?

I think Brutal Sports Football also falls into this games category, the brawling sports genre ruled!

That new 'Microsoft GCSE': We reveal what's in it

Are they going to send the teachers on courses so they actually know what they are on about? When we started our IT GNVQ at college, the teacher was learning it as he went along, we ended up showing him how to run his course basically, the only training he'd had was a two week night class in Visual Basic. He was amazed when I showed him how to make a ball bounce around in a box dynamically.

Really hope they have some better training in nowadays .

LucasArts unveils Star Wars game for grown-ups

Sounds like Mass Effect to me

US secret spaceplane will come back to Earth sometime soon

US must be happy they are getting there death ray back

Max Payne 3

Re: It's not quite the same...

Load time issues? the only time you have issues with load times are when your trying to skip the cutscenes, which if you've bought the game, your probably going to watch. If your not getting this game for the story your going to be bitterly disapointed

'Dated and cheesy' Aero ripped from Windows 8

Am I the only one that didnt mind the Aero interface?!?

Call of Duty hacker behind bars after college burglary

I'm surprised anybody playing Call Of Duty is old enough to have a credit card

Diablo III

Was really looking forward to playing this, unfortunatly it wont run on a gaming pc i bought two years ago, which i dont understand at all. The graphics arnt that great so why does it need a monster machine to run properly?

Microsoft kills Windows Live brand

Why didnt they just call it windows messenger, windows mail, windows 'whatever' from the start?!?

Ten... eight-bit classic games

For once, an article on here I completely agree with, all these games were and still are AMAZING

PS, you forgot head over heels….. ;)

Getting rich off iPhone apps is b*llocks, say UK devs

Re: Some of these people should have done maths and not engineering

I'd like to think 5 app developers would be able to come up with more than one idea a year, if this is all thats expected from them i'm in the wrong job

BT fattens fibre customer pipes for free - with a contract extension

All well and good

But what is the point in this when they still throttle peoples uploads and downloads to crippling speeds during peek hours?

O2 launches On & On mobile tariff

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Really not that great a deal to be honest, you can get unlimited data contracts less

Mass Effect 3 crooks trick gamers with fake 'alternate ending'

Are you sure about this?

"Game publishers Bioware are due to release an officially sanctioned alternative ending to the game in April."

Has this been confirmed then? Nothing on the recent statement said this was going to happen, and I very much doubt it ever will. It's a lot more likely they'll just release another game and be like "Surprise, mass effect 3 wasnt the last in the series!". It's pretty evident they dropped this "Last game in the series" tag pretty close to the end of development, and thats why the ending is so lacking.

Commodore outs Linux-running Amiga Mini desktop

How Much?!?

Thought this was pretty cool until I saw the price tag, seriously how the hell are they justifying that price?!? I'll stick to my 1200 thanks

The Facebook job test: Now interviewers want your logins

If someones employing you based on what your facebook profile says, they arnt worth working for in the first place

BT fibre-to-the-cabinet rollout penetrates 73 more exchanges

Y U NO CITY CENTERS?!?

It does seem to be a bit of a trend now that if you live say 5 miles from a city center, you've got every chance of getting fibre, but in the city center itself? NO CHANCE. Surely these sort of lines are what our city centers need, not somebody sitting in a council house a couple of miles down the road.

Facebook 'cloaking' flaw allows unexpected snooping

Where is the flaw in this exactly?

Not really a security flaw is it. It's like somebody putting your number in their phone, and then expecting your number to be automatically deleted off their phone when your phone gets deactivated. It just dosnt happen

Pair of double-As give you cheap, quick charge

"It comes with a selection of connectors and will charge an iPhone too (iPhones need a special circuit to confirm it's a proper connector; it's not complicated but we didn't have one to test)."

In other words nobody dared plug it into their iphone incase it fried it lol

Hands on with Kinect Star Wars

Why did people even buy into this device in the first place?

When are people going to realise the Kinect is not the future of gaming, its a gimick, that unfotunatly a lot of x-box users fell for after they were fed false promises of a-list titles and a whole host of other features. The kinect falls into the same catagory as other bombshells, such as the nintendo power glove, an expensive device, that is quickly forgotten about by the developers. I must know 10+ people with a kinect, and none of them have used it again after the first week of purchase, and all of them think it was a waste of money. This game seems to be the final nail in the coffin.

Android clobbers Siri in Japanese... and English

Re: Source?

Bit of homework, ask 100 apple users what processor their system is running on, I think you'll find your answer

I buy and iphone because its teh cool

"but iPhone users don't want to be at the bleeding edge of technology: they want to buy into Apple's projected lifestyle"

Lol this is so true, most of the people buying apple products dont even know what they are getting!

Cameron denies personal Trident missile firing iPad app

A story about someone denying something that isnt true in the first place, thats internets well spent! Huzzah!

Metro breakdown! Windows 8 UI is little gain for lots of pain

Have they even confirmed that the metro interface wont be an opt out service yet? The writer of this article just seems like he's trying to take a dig at microsoft

Bikini clad Princess Leia spied shakin' booty in Star Wars game

Microsoft, stop, for the love of god just stop

I'm sorry but this is just the final nail in the coffin for me, the Kinect has been the biggest peripheral flop since the 32X. The games are getting progressively worse not better.

41-megapixel MONSTER mobe shutters Nokia knockers

Nice camera, if your a tripod....

Like it how they fail to mention that if you dont hold the camera perfectly still when taking pictures, the image becomes a blurry mess. This was nicely demonstrated on the bbc news web site yesterday

Cineworld flaunts '4D' movies

Seen it, done it, got the t-shirt

Nice to hear were about four years behind every other country technology wise

Scroogle unplugged for good this time

Now forwards to a pron site, nice

Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards

This game was fun, but Kings Quest was better :)

Black Ops has best videogame ending ever

Good call!

Can add Monkey Island 2 to my list of stuff thats missing too, I forgot how good that ending was! and Simon The Sorcerer! and Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis! and Day Of The Tentacle!

I think you missed a few...

Wheres System Shock?!?

Wheres System Shock 2?!?

Wheres Bioshock 2?!?

Wheres It Came From The Desert?!?

Wheres Katamari Demacy?!?

Wheres Final Fantasy 8?!?

Wheres Final Fantasy 6?!?

Wheres Okami?!?

Wheres any of the Warcraft games?!?

Wheres Xenogears?!?

The list goes on...

Instead we get Sonic The Hedgehog, which was pretty much a screen of text, yeh great ending!!!

Fails on pretty much every level possible

So they are trying to tell us the ending to Bioshock 2, which hasn’t even made the list, is not as good as the ending to Sonic The Hedgehog, and this is supposed to be official? Seriously who wrote this list up?

System Shock

Remember getting this game when i was about 13, took me a good year just to figure out the controls and what i was actually supposed to be doing! Still a great game though, i loved it even if i didnt have the foggyist idea how to play it properly :D

Nintendo cuts full-year forecast – by BILLIONS

'Nintendo - Making outdated consoles since 2006!'

HUD's up! Ubuntu creates menu-free GUI

So it's basically just the Windows 7 search bar you get in the start menu...

'Space Monkey' craze: Texan students 'get high' by choking each other

How is this a new craze? people were doing this in my secondary school in 1997. Granted it wasnt straight strangling, people just breathed in and out heavily for a minute and somebody just pushed on your chest until you blacked out

Murdoch slams White House over SOPA in Twitter row

The bottom line is, if the SOPA act goes through, liturally half of youtube would need to be taken down over night. Like to watch some guys videos who makes reviews for computer games? well that wont be happening any more if they have anything to do with it. The whole things ridiculous, and dosnt help anybody in the slightest.

OnLive sneaks Windows 7 into the iPad

Confuzzled

So who pays for the client access license? i'm confused. Do you have to pay for this on on-live like the games or is it completely free. I can see microsoft flexing their muscles when they see this tbh

£55 to hire a phone for a month... Are they having a laugh?!?!?

PSP owners must pay to port games to PS Vita

Reporter fail

How is this any different to buying old nes and snes games on the virtual console on Wii, we already own these games, but were willing to pay for them again to have it on our Wii.

Calling it unfair? it's not really is it. I dont think nintendo would listen if you told them you had the original cartridge to Mario Brothers, so you dont have to pay for it for the virtual console would they?

Valve says credit card data taken

Where are you now xbox fanboys?

I love it how everyone's come on here justifying why the credit card data can't be used for anything, but when the exact same thing happened to Sony everyone was up in arms and going ballistic about why the data was stolen in the first place. I guess xbox fanboys dont care about Valve...

Duke Nukem Forever dev slams unfair reviews

So the developers are throwing their toys out the pram because people didnt like the game, and claim it was because they started making it 15 years ago so it's not going to be up to scratch with other studios games coming out at the same time?

I'm sorry but thats a complete cop out, why even release it if you already know it's dated by todays standards? They should have just released it as a budget title if they already knew this was the case
