Infinity Ward has announced in an interview that it will be taking a hard line on cheaters in its latest Modern Warfare 3 title. Looking to remove cheaters for its online games once and for all using a new code verification technology.

We have all experienced it at some time whilst playing online games, the lone gunman you cant drop, who amazingly drops everyone else with a single headshot. Cheaters have been an ongoing problem within Modern Warfare 2 but when Modern Warfare 3 launches in November there maybe a lot less if any to worry about.

Infinity Ward Robert Bowling explains in a interview with Gamespy :

"I can’t go into specifics. On a general high level area there’s so much more stuff that we’ve locked down and made less accessible than we had before. A lot of stuff that we stripped out, a lot more challenge response thi ... Read more »

While it may have recently laid claim to one of the industry’s most storied studios and revived one of the most cherished RPG series in existence, Bethesda will always be the house that Elder Scrolls built. As well as the house that built Elder Scrolls. And seeing how very few studios can manage a proper single-player RPG these days, much less a sweeping epic with fully explorable vistas that make your knees wobbly, there was no way we were going to miss a chance for some quality time with Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim at Eurogamer Expo.

Visually, it’s not the dramatic step up Oblivion was over Morrowind, but your breath will still catch when looking at that first horizon line. Even disregarding the occasional placeholder textures and errant animation, you can almost feel the crispness of the unfolding titular patch of Tamriel rub ag ... Read more »

Battlefield 3 is not a religious experience. But at times it can be spiritual. During the fifteen minutes we spent with it at Eurogamer Expo, there were perhaps five when we didn’t feel like we were a young, confused young man caught up in madness he hadn’t signed up for, but steeling himself to see it through and get the job done. Slightly unusual for your run of the mill Deathmatch game, that.

If there’s one axiom when it comes to FPS games, is that they use visual effects as either a blunt instrument or a back of the box bullet point generator. Most of the successful ones do both. Battlefield 3 felt, for that brief period, like a shooter that forgot itself and accidentally went subtly wonderful all of a sudden. We’re not sure what map we played, but we’re okay with that. The experience was much too well orchestrated to be limited to one map. We be ... Read more »

It was going to be incredibly hard to improve upon the towering achievement that was Mass Effect 2. Combat mechanics that sang, sharp level design, interesting side-quests that amounted to a lot more than the RPG default fetch or kill, astounding texture work, we were fairly certain not even Bioware could top themselves when we first picked up the controller to put the Mass Effect 3 demo through its paces at this year’s Eurogamer Expo.

Now, we can’t say whether they’ve succeeded, because that’s not the sort of thing fifteen minutes with a demo tells you. What we can tell you is that what we played featured none of the ballyhooed Earth locations seen in earlier trailers. In fact, the environment was so generic it might have been the Citadel Post Office. There wasn’t the slightest generic, however, about the ensuing fight with Cerberus shock troops to p ...

A couple of weeks ago Sony updated its terms of service of its PSN service to stop its users being able to file lawsuits against Sony if anything were to go wrong again. As it did when Sony’s network was hacked and left 70 million Sony users personal information exposed. Now EA has also followed suit and amended their terms of service for their online Origin digital download service to bock similar action by its users if anything should go wrong.

In signing up with Origin you agree to "waive the right to trial by jury” as well as "foregoing the right to sue in court,” and that you will only bring a claim against EA as an individual "not as a plaintiff or class member.”

"YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION, YOU AND EA ARE FOREGOING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.”

By implementing the new changes EA has b ... Read more »
