Steam's way of launching games isn't more secure because it uses a protocol URL (the steam:// thing); it's more secure because it references an application by ID and then retrieves the executable...
The download speeds are a lot better. Steam maxes out at 4MB/s for me, whereas Origin gets up to 10 MB/s (long live Akamai). Origin's offline mode works when you don't have an internet connection,...
I think "Space Rangers" should be changed to "Space Rangers 2" instead. #2 is waaaaaaaay better than #1. Space Rangers 2 with the "Reboot" expansion is even better.
Also, I'd recommend Star...
The reason why games have traditionally used button presses for attacks with swords is because those control mechanisms are a lot better than motion controls.
The problem with motion controls has...
I somewhat disagree. Although co-op games can be a lot more fun with friends, playing them with people you don't know can also be a lot of fun. If anything, it'll allow you to make friends. 90% of my...
Yeah, screw Mass Effect. Why didn't they invent something on their own instead of taking some ideas from Star Control 2?

Seriously, about 95% of the current spam topics are made by people who haven't previously made a post. How about you give this 'one post requirement' a try to see if it works out? The situation as it...
From Gabe himself (@10:50): "Right now I'm hanging out with a group of people who are working on Linux"
The problem with UGC is that you need to acquire the rights to distribute the UGC from the user, and it's probably safe to acquire the rights to use the UGC commercially, in case you're developing a...
..because pointing out technical flaws and lack of desired functionality equates to believing that something is without merit? Come on.
Steam, Desura and Linux package managers do one quite critical thing that this tool doesn't do: dependency checking&installation and automatic updates. Tiggit doesn't do either of these. In fact, all...
Battle for Wesnoth is licensed under the GPL. It's completely open-source, so you should be able to find the source code of the Android port and compile it yourself, or "pay the fine" for the...
Star Control 2, Deus Ex, Freespace 2
All hail friend EA!
The EA is my friend!
I wonder why the guys over at Paradox keep publishing buggy games. Are they anal about release dates, is their QA department shitty, do they provide little assistance to developers, or are they just...
I don't think he really agrees. After all, he's just blatantly spamming the same post on different forums.
Ask some of the other societies at your uni where their websites are located at. Chances are, your uni has some place where societies can host their stuff, or there's a society that provides webspace...
An interesting set of threads. I personally don't care much for this game. Graphical styles and settings can really put me off of things, and from what I've seen it doesn't appear to have a nifty GUI...
Since I just finished the singleplayer campaign last night just to see what all the fuss about the ending was about, I can play multiplayer now without fear of someone spoiling the ending for me!...
This is why I don't see this working out nicely. GameSave Manager and Dropbox both do one thing and do it well. Dropbox is great with file synchronization (it even transfers stuff over the LAN for...
Jeff Gerstmann (GiantBomb) rather liked it and gave it 5 stars (out of 5). There's also a Quick Look for Syndicate.
From what I've played of it, it seems like it manages to cleverly combine...
Eh, there's not a lot to base an opinion on, is there? "Space combat game with multiplayer persistent progression". This could go so many different ways, just like "first person shooter game with...
So telling people to play a 1992/1993 game instead of 1986/1989/1991 games because the 1992/1993 game is free and open-source, is way more accessible and runs on a wide variety of hardware/software...
Starflight isn't exactly accessible anymore (it has aged too much), so you might as well go and play Star Control 2. Granted, Star Control 2 hasn't aged very well either, but at least it's playable...
