Evening Reading

October 27, 2008 6:00 PM

1225

Didnt get a chance to play more Far Cry 2 just yet but I did manage to have some fondue over the weekend, so I'm pretty sure the weekend can be called a success.

Cloud computing is hot
Games helping driving? We know they help NASCAR
Cox is doing a cell phone network
Teenage hackers are hot

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe gets censored for teen rating
LittleBigPlanet 2 in development
Guitar Hero World Tour is having instrument problems
DJ Hero is confirmed
LittleBigPlanet servers are live
Red Alert 3 trailer
THQ sues Activision
Call of Duty 5 bringing co-op zombie killing to WWII
Left 4 Dead demo date
Saints Row 3 confirmed
Gears of War 2: making a blockbuster
Need for Speed Undercover trailer
F.E.A.R. 2 available on Steam
More Empire: Total War screenshots
More Nintendo Wii incoming, still not enough
Wheelman screenshots and trailer
California game law back in court
Fallout 3 ad shenanigans

Lastly, congrats to the Cowboys new kicker for being able to lay down a hit. I didnt actually see it or watch football much in general but that is pretty much all I heard on the radio all day today. Sat around getting my car inspected today. Fun.

    DC Shackers: You should come to the midnight opening at the Best Buy on Rockville Pike. Probably 90% of the devs will be there.

    I think I'm gonna go to the midnight launch at EB here at school. Not lining up at 10pm though. I'm just gonna go 15 min before midnight because it's too fucking cold and I need to study for an exam on Wednesday.
