get a very good RTS for free!

You're not the only one who thinks that. In fact, there are so many people who think that way that you can't download the game now!

EA wasn't ready for the demand for this game .

I'd like to share a contest with you guys. How does the contest work? Simple, for each person you refer to L33t Drops you gain one level. Once you hit certain level milestones you automatically win the prize(s) for that level. No raffles, no draws. Only guaranteed loot. Here is a quick rundown of the contest:

Level 0 - Get 15% off your first month's drop just for signing up.
Level 5 - Get 50% off your first month's drop & a copy of Beseige (Only 100 copies available)
Level 10 - First month's drop free & a copy of Mighty No. 9 (Only 50 copies available)
Level 25 - Two month's of free drops & a copy of Fallout 4 (Only 25 copies available)

Tales of Zestiria will be locked at 30 FPS on the PC. It's like they're trying to convince me not to buy their game.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will arrive with DirectX 12 support from day one.

Thanks for the link, I'll take a look.

Frostbite’s Senior Graphic Programmer Leaves DICE, Joins Unity

http://www.dsogaming.com/news/unity-is-getting-stronger-frostbites-senior-graphic-programmer-leaves-dice-joins-unity/

It appears that the fight between Unity 5 and all other game engines will get really interesting. Frostbite’s senior graphic programmer, Sébastien Lagarde, announced that he’s leaving DICE. Sébastien has been at DICE for two years and will join Unity as a Director of Rendering Research.

While this news does not mean that DICE faces troubles with Frostbite, it’s undoubtedly good news for competition.

A while back, Tiago Sousa left Crytek and CRYENGINE in order to join id Software and help with id Tech 6.

Frostbite 3 is currently considered one of the best game engines, so it will be interesting to see whether Unity 5 – with the help of Sébastien – will be able to challenge it.

Also, Dead Island and Dead Island: Riptide are free to play this weekend on Steam and are 80% off for those who like them and want to get the games.

Age of Mythology will get a new expansion, Tale of the Dragon, 13 years after it was released. This makes me so happy.

I'm still trying to believe that Age of Empires II is getting a new expansion after all these years, and now Age of Mythology gets another one.

This world is crazy.

On another point, there are some (really) bad news for AMD:

LEGENDARY CPU ARCHITECT JIM KELLER LEAVES

http://hexus.net/tech/news/cpu/86585-legendary-cpu-architect-jim-keller-leaves-amd/

For those who don't know who he is, he's the guy responsible of the K7 and K8 chips, the last ones that allowed AMD to compete with Intel, before leaving in 2008 and when he came back in 2012 he started the development of AMD’s Zen microarchitecture.

But can AMD wait another 4 years for him? Will there be an AMD to come back in four years?

Don't take it wrong, I've never understood the "I'll jump to XX in my next PC" comments. No one knows how the nexts cards will be nor its price or the performance of any of those cards, so saying now that you'll get a specific brand is, at best, pure speculation.

All I can say is that my next rig is still a few years away (I hope!), but my next graphics card will be the one with the best performance/price ratio that fills my conditions (min. performance, certain price range, etc.). No matter the brand. And if I needed a CPU it would be the same.

For example, if I had to buy a gfx card back in January, I would have gone with Nvidia and the 970, but now (after the 3.5+0.5GB reveal and the driver problems with Kepler cards) it would be AMD and the 390.

And yes, it's for our best interest to keep AMD around and competitive.

Do we need a "solid"-thread with announced PC-games or are we better than that? ;)

Oh, God no!
