Mark Rein seems to think so, but for different reasons than you might expect. Epic has always seemed to think everyone else is a huge whiner as far as it comes to dual core, so what is Intel doing wrong? Integrated graphics.

I totally agree here. Retailers love Intel’s integrated graphics chipsets because they are cheap, but casual users usually feel cheated by them. Most of my friends don’t understand why their brand new Dell or whatnot can’t play games out of the box. The issue could easily be resolved by tossing in a $100 (more lik $25 to them) low-end Ati or Nvidia card, but the retailers know that their users probably aren’t aware of the difference until it’s too late.

If you’re still playing PGR3, why not drop 400 points on a bunch of new cars? If you don’t want to do that, you can grab a few for 60 points each.

1up has an article going through many of the wacky controllers we’ve seen in the past. It’s pretty hilarious stuff, espescially if you remember all that garbage (the powerglove and U-force, jeez).

Of course, he leaves out a lot of the good specialized controllers, so you won’t see any of the DDR pads or anything like that, but it’s really not the point of the article. We wanna laugh at the stuff that stinks!

The on thing I don’t get is his hatred of Prop Cycle. Get some excercise!

Enemey Territory: Quake Wars is being delayed until 2007 to give time to polish it up. I’m happy they are making sure it’s a quality game, but man, I would prefer to have it now. I was a huge fan of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and I am very much looking forward to this. Of course, I will be all alone playing it since you will all be playing Battlefield 2142.
