Jaw Drops, Hair Falls Out – I-Novae Studios Releases New Video For Infinity
Man, it’s been three whole years since the release of Infinity’s tech demo. Back in 2010, I-Novae Studios made a lot of heads turn with the spectacular Infinity tech video that showcased the seamless planetary engine that was powering it. And since then, nothing. Back in 2012, we informed you about the team’s plans for a Kickstarter campaign and although that campaign has not been launched yet, I-Novae Studios released a new trailer for its title that can be viewed below.

The Empire Strikes A Deal: 10 Years Of EA Star Wars Games
By Alec Meer on November 21st, 2013 at 8:00 am.
Unless JJ Abrams does something so spectacular and most of all so charming with his Star Wars sequels that my 15 years of ennui towards the house that Lucas built then liberally daubed with some sort of turd-based paint, I can’t say I have any particular issue with EA being sole providers of Galaxy Far, Far Away games for the next decade.

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive patch fiddles with freeze time, prevents fowl play
Comment
Constant cacophony. That’s what your Battlefields and Black Opses ask you to tune into - an endless, noisy bazaar where players trade in bullets and jibes. Even in TF2’s set-up time, the racket of errant rockets and unheeded calls for medics destroys any hope of a moment's meditation.
Counter-Strike has always been a little different. Every round begins in freeze time - part ceremonial second of silence, part practical gear purchasing allocation in a game that far predates persistent loadouts. And from today, freeze time has the potential to run on just a little longer.
