Piracy, Copy Protection, and the Evolution of PC Gaming
May 17, 2008 - 6:00 PM - by emuleman

I'm a PC gamer.

There, I've said it. These days, saying that seems to have an nostalgic, almost anachronistic sound. I predict that calling myself a PC gamer will be like someone today bragging about their 8-track collection.

That's not to say that PC gaming is doomed. But the days of PC gaming as I knew it is probably coming to an end, and something very different will be replacing it. One reason is the ongoing battle between game publishers and pirates.

Piracy is rampant in PC games. Piracy also exists in console gaming, but it's far more risky. Console game pirates have to burn physical media or even mod the consoles, which can result in legal games being unplayable and the modder being booted from online services, like ... [Read More]

Video games don't create killers, new book says
May 16, 2008 - 2:17 AM - by emuleman

Playing video games does not turn children into deranged, blood-thirsty super-killers, according to a new book by a pair of Harvard researchers.

Lawrence Kutner and Cheryl Olson, a husband-and-wife team at Harvard Medical School, detail their views in "Grand Theft Childhood: The Surprising Truth About Violent Video Games and What Parents Can Do", which came out last month and promises to reshape the debate on the effects of video games on kids.

"What I hope people realize is that there is no data to support the simple-minded concerns that video games cause violence," Kutner told Reuters.

The pair reached that conclusion after conducting a two-year study of more than 1,200 middle-school children about their attitudes towards video games.

Gaming Performance: Windows Vista SP1 vs. XP SP3
May 15, 2008 - 3:59 PM - by emuleman


Even as Microsoft tries to shove Windows Vista down the collective and unwilling throat of computer users worldwide, the company is still perfecting the well-aged and well-loved Windows XP . The latter of the two operating systems just received its third (and evidently last) service pack.

The collection of fixes and improvements includes the vast majority of ... [Read More]

Five new technologies that will shape PC gaming's future -- or not.
May 15, 2008 - 4:14 AM - by emuleman
For every winner of an American Inventor season, a couple hundred would-be Thomas Edisons go home losers. For every Nintendo Wii, there are 1,000 Nintendo Virtual Boys. There's no shortage of new technology in the world -- but the ratio of brilliant ideas to worthless crap is decidedly out of whack.

And so we present for your consideration five emerging technologies that might change the way you play PC games in the future. Or may not. From brain-wave scanning to pupil tracking to peripherals that simulate a Serengeti breeze, these devices -- some prototypes, some real products you can buy today -- are nothing if not creative. And their creators are hoping you'll want to play with them every day.
