Before starting this article, let me tell you that we’ve seen such behaviors in the past on various boards. However, it’s really funny when a developer – that does not reveal his or her true identity – tries to damage control with an anonymous account on either a gaming website or a gaming board/forum. NeoGAF’s member ‘GlassBox’ attempted such a thing and got banned for trying to ‘distort the news aggregate‘ all without actually disclosing to anyone there that he or she works for the ‘company in question.’ Continue reading EA/Maxis employee gets banned on NeoGAF for ‘attempting to distort the news aggregate’→
Electronic Arts has made an announcement yesterday regarding SimCity’s current state, and although the company avoided to discuss whether it will remove its always-online DRM system, the big publisher revealed that all SimCity owners – who have suffered from those infamous server issues – will get a free PC game on March 18th.

Man, what a disastrous launch that was. And ironically, things are going from bad to worse as after the launch day issues that SimCity players faced, EA has managed to F’ things up even more. In order to offer better stability, EA removed the Cheetah mode of SimCity and as you may have expected, a lot of PC gamers got angry with that decision. Funny thing is that things did not improve and EA’s servers went down once again. Continue reading SimCity Is Going Down, Server Issues Still Present, Amazon Removes Product, EA Suspends Marketing→

Electronic Arts has released the new Sim City game, a title that requires a constant internet connection in order to be enjoyed. And as you may have guessed, the game’s servers took a big hit during its launch day. As a result of that, a lot of gamers were unable to play their newly bought game, and got frustrated with EA’s policy over this issue, as well as possible refunds. Continue reading Sim City Released, Connectivity Issues Spotted, EA Refuses Refunds→
Abandon ship everyone; Dead Space 4 is going down. It seems that the franchise has been canned – or put on hold – as Videogamer reported that Dead Space 4’s development has been ceased. The reason behind this act? Dead Space 3’s low sales. Ironic, isn’t it? Well, we all saw that coming with that micro-transaction thing that EA tried to pull off. What is really funny here is that EA wants to add micro-transactions to almost all of its titles, so it will be interesting to see how things unfold. Continue reading Dead Space Franchise Is Going Down Due To Low Sales – UPDATE – EA & Visceral Deny It→
Before starting, let us apologize for not offering you this Performance Analysis sooner. Unfortunately, EA seemed hesitant on sending a PC review copy, and that’s why we had to delay it. Perhaps this is due to the fact that Visceral Games’ Executive Producer lied about offering the same gaming experience to all platforms or because EA feared that we’d bring the hammer down on it. Either way, EA should not be so ashamed of it. Why you ask? But because Dead Space 3 is a fine PC port. Yes, there isn’t any FOV option and the game suffers low-resolution textures but overall, this is as good as most multi-platform games, has proper on-screen keyboard indications, has amazing mouse support, and is not taxing – while looking great – at all.
