Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Coming To XBLA/PSN 2012

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 12:12 PM PDT

You might have thought you had played Virtua Fighter 5 about four years back. You thought right! And wrong at the same time. It’s kind of the same logic that gives birth to about three new Street Fighter IV editions a year (we think, though make sure to Wikipedia it if you care that much), each more Hyper and Premium-Extremo than the last.

Ubisoft Putting From Dust Online DRM Out Of Your Misery

Posted: 23 Aug 2011 11:37 AM PDT

Good news! Ubisoft’s seething hatred for its customers seemed to have simmered down to a slow boil. As a result, Eric Chahi’s well-received… RTS? God game? uhh… game will be drawing its first free offline breath about two weeks from now. We’re not sure what finally led Ubisoft to the conclusion that inflicting online multiplayer game problems on an offline single-player game without any reasonable justification was a valid business model, but we’re just glad they finally did.

Could The Earth Have Seeded The Solar System?

An informative infographic has been created showing how speech recognition impacts our lives and how its being used to change and develop our world.

But they made fans who made DOTA, so that has to count for something, right?
