by: John Yan NEWS - And here's another bad thing coming out of the whole no dedicated server setup that Infinity Ward's got. A chat on a Best Buy forum with a developer and an artist from Infinity Ward let loose that the maximum number of players for a multiplayer game on the PC is 18. Yes, the first Modern Warfare had 32 player support as most PC games in that genre do these days but Call of...

by: John Yan NEWS - Games Industry has word that Square Enix let go about 10% of their work force spanning Square Enix, Taito, and Eidos. The good news is that the merger of Eidos and Square Enix is going pretty smoothly. What I want from Square though is word on the next Batman game. Com'on folks, Batman: Arkham Asylum was awesome. Let's talk about another one to take the sting off of having...

by: John Yan NEWS - Pre-order folks will be able to find a lot more people to play with as the demo for Left 4 Dead 2 is now live for everyone. It's a pretty quick run through and you can see my trek through the two levels of The Parish campaign. The game officially comes out November 17th and so far it looks like it's on track as we haven't heard any delays...yet. Let's hope we don't have a...

by: John Yan NEWS - This doesn't sound too good. Reports are that board partners will have some Fermi parts working on the show floor at CES but some thought that the card would be out before the end of the year. NVIDIA's got a lot riding on Fermi and to not have it out soon while AMD's putting out new cards (albeit in limited supply) isn't doing NVIDIA any good. It's been a long time since...

by: John Yan NEWS - I have many good memories in the arcade of smashing barrels or cars in between fights on Street Fighter II. I know some folks were disappointed that feature didn't make it into Street Fighter IV . Well, get ready to do some more smashing again as it's coming back. The release of Super Street Fighter IV will see bonus stages coming back to the fray as you'll be able to smash...

by: John Yan NEWS - Kameo was one of the Microsoft Xbox 360 launch titles that some people really enjoyed. I opted to play others when I picked mine up but we have a few fans on the site for the game. CVG has learned that there was a sequel in the works but for now it's been put out to pasture. Rare's going to be concentrating on titles for the upcoming Project Natal so any resources for Kameo...

by: John Yan NEWS - Don't go giving out any information if you see a Battlefield Bad Company 2 beta sign up site. There's none yet and unless you read it on the official site or their Twitter site , don't go putting in any information that says they are offering beta access. You'd think people have more common sense but sometimes excitement can get the best of us I guess. So, as of right now...

by: John Yan NEWS - Fermi is NVIDIA's next GPU and they've been kind of tight lipped on when we will be able to see it. Announced a month or so ago, we've yet to see any cards from any OEMs nor have any idea how powerful it will really be. Here are some leaked shots of some renders the card was able to do. Rendering's fine and dandy but as gamers, we want to see how it does on titles like Crysis...

by: John Yan NEWS - The short and sweet of it is that Gran Turismo 5 looks like it'll be getting a track editor but the time frame is unknown at this point. That's a long overdue feature in my opinion and I'm happy to see it coming. I have a lot of friends who are big fans of the series and I'm sure this news will make them pretty happy. Plus it will help prolong the life of the game as you'll...

by: John Yan NEWS - Some folks were able to procure a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 early so they've got a headstart on other folks in terms of the leaderboard. Not so, tweeted Robert Bowling of Infinity Ward. The leaderboard will be reset on 11-10-09 so if you think you had a little edge, well it's going to be gone on the game's official release date. At least they aren't preventing...

by: John Yan NEWS - One of the things that used to honk gamers off on the PC is when a teammate dies, flies around in spectator mode, and calls out the other team player's hiding spots. Well, Microsoft is letting the game dictate whether you have to be in the game chat when playing multiplayer as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 won't let you play multiplayer if you are in party chat. This is...
