Windows Phone To Surpass Blackberry By December, Dominate Distant Third Place
Things are coming up Ballmer!
Believe it or not, based on WMPoweruser’s calculations, Windows Phone will surpass the Blackberry platform not long after Thanksgiving. We’ve talked about plotted dominance before and didn’t quite come off as accurate, but this trajectory seems far more accurate. The summary here isn’t that Windows Phone is winning so much as Blackberry is really failing.
Can You Trust OnLive Now?
After the recent debacle, is OnLive trustworthy?
On Friday, we reported that OnLive wasn’t closing shop after word spread that people were packing up their things and leaving the office. Well, we were kinda right. Through a clever transfer of IPs, none of which were actually owned by OnLive, the company was actually shut down. In its place, a new company sprung up, named OnLive, entitled with the remaining assets of the original OnLive. The service, to the layman, will be completely unaffected. Confusing? Yep.
Cool Runnings/Miracle Review: The Olympics For Peeps Who Don’t Watch The Olympics
More drama on ice than you can handle!
With the passing of the recent Summer Olympics in London, I feel like I missed a huge party that everyone else was invited to. The big reason behind that, really, is that I couldn’t care less. I’m partial to the winter-ized sports, where people have to try harder, bundle up tighter, and tolerate much more because they’re no longer in an optimal fitness environment. But don’t take that as too much of an endorsement: I don’t watch the Winter Olympics, either. I am, however, more than happy to watch movies based on them.
World Of Warcraft’s Mists Of Pandaria Introduction Is Here, Featuring Cute Fighting Pandas!
It’s cool. Y’know, I’m just a panda.
Although some would say that fleshing out a race of anthropomorphic pandas might be stretching the Warcraft universe a little thin and the tongue-in-cheek implementation might feel completely unofficial, I say: who cares? PANDAS, MAN. Today, Blizzard unveiled the cinematic trailer for the upcoming fourth expansion to their big ol’ game they have. World of something-or-another.
Campaign To Build Tesla Museum Hits $450k In Under Two Days
It’s a lot of money.
Who knew crowdsourcing initiatives who could be so awesome? Yesterday, John Inman, known more commonly as web artist The Oatmeal, set out to help a non-profit purchase the grounds under Nikola Tesla’s former Wardenclyffe, New York facility.
Planetary Annihilation Hits Kickstarter: Mega RTS Action From The Guys Who Made The Genre
Now, to take my moon base and CRASH IT RIGHT INTO THIS WORLD.
If you’ll remember, there was once a golden age of real-time strategy games. Command & Conquer, StarCraft, Total Annihilation, and my personal favorite, Rise of Nations, toward the end. But it seems that the well went dry and all that talent moved onto different stuff. Some of those minds collected at Uber Entertainment, who’ve recently given us Monday Night Combat. But now they want to go back to their roots with interplanetary action. And you can invest right now.

Did You Buy Dead Island? Chances Are It Was For The Co-op
WHO DO YOU VOODOO, BITCH?
We found it necessary to search not one, but two retailers to find copies of Dead Island when it released a year ago. Everyone was hot for it; we definitely were. To date, the game has pushed four million copies, becoming Techland’s biggest game ever with players logging 6500 years of game time. Why was the game so successful? Because of the co-op.
Darksiders 2 Review: Death Deals With Old Frustrations, So Do You
“So, you seriously need to keep those things on at all times? Is that how it works?”
I didn’t get a chance to play the original Darksiders, but that might’ve been because all the reviews touted it as a ‘mature version of Zelda’, which is a certifiable method for me to not buy your game. This isn’t the space to justify my antagonism toward Zelda, but I was more than happy to set aside my feelings about that unique brand of action/puzzle/platformer for just a moment to enjoy Darksiders 2. As Death, one of the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, you feel far less like a harbinger of destruction and agony and far more like the Prince of Persia if Todd MacFarlane had a pass at him. That’ll probably be fine for you, but underneath all this hacking, slashing, and blood-letting, the creaking bones of this game made me weary.
Epic Completes People Can Fly Acquisition, But Is There Anyone Left?
It looks kinda like Painkiller, right?
You may not have played Painkiller, but you should (seriously, it’s super cheap on Steam, yo). Despite being eight years old, it’s still an incredibly imaginative Doom clone in which you slaughter dozens of bizarre beasts in a jumble of weird levels, like haunted houses, military bases, and opera houses. It’s a product of eastern Europe’s quirk and it set Polish developer People Can Fly on the high road to success. But no longer.
