If, like me, you love pirates - I have the anchor tattoo on my ribs to prove it - you were most likely disappointed by Skull and Bones.

Now, there's a new challenger on the horizon, and it could be the pirate game we've all been waiting for. Read the rest of the story... View the full article

Enlarge / Illustration of the Apollo lunar lander Eagle over the Moon. (credit: Getty Images) [/url] On Friday, a retired software engineer named Martin C. Martin announced that he recently discovered a bug in the original Lunar Lander computer game's physics code while tinkering with the software. Created by a 17-year-old high school student named Jim Storer in 1969, this primordial game rendered the action only as text status updates on a teletype, but it set the stage for future versions to come. The legendary game—which Storer developed on a PDP-8 minicomputer in a programming language called FOCAL just months after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made their historic moonwalks—allows players to control a lunar module's descent onto the Moon's surface. Players must carefully manage their fuel usage to achieve a gentle landing, making critical decisions every ten seconds to ***** the right amount of fuel. In 2009, just short of the 40th anniversary of the first Moon landing, I set out to find the author of the original Lunar Lander game, which was then primarily known as a graphical game, thanks to the graphical version from 1974 and a 1979 Atari arcade title. When I discovered that Storer created the oldest known version as a teletype game, I interviewed him and wrote up a history of the game. Storer later released the source code to the original game, written in FOCAL, on his website. Read 7 remaining paragraphs | Comments View the full article

Shooters can translate exceptionally well to cooperative gameplay, with basic pick-up-and-play appeal still leaving the potential for strategic depth and meaningful collaboration. Gunning down enemies is also a lot less monotonous in co-op, even when the hordes just won't stop coming. View the full article

Details are slowly surfacing about Gears of War: E-Day, and one feature confirmed by developer The Coalition is the inclusion of ray-traced lighting, shadows, and reflections in the game.

With 10 different packs to pick from, it becomes an increasing fuss to remember which pack has which game in, and then boot it up just to play its highlight before repeating the process when you choose to play something else.
