That’s hilarious. A new update for the PC version of Battlefield 3 has rolled out and guess what; it comes with that awful ‘Corrupted File/Memory [9808096]’ issue that was introduced some months ago. Since this morning, a lot of PC gamers have been kicked/banned from the public servers due to that issue, while others had to manually update Punkbuster in order to play the game. And you as you may have guessed, DICE is already looking into fixing it. Continue reading Battlefield 3 PC minor update introduces Punkbuster issue, DICE is working on it→

Let’s be honest here, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning doesn’t look as good as we’d hoped to. It has blurry textures and looks a bit flat in most occasions. And I’m amazed with the subtle – yet noticeable – improvements that Skyrim’s FXAA Injector brings to the table. The sharpening filter is ideal for all those blurry road textures and the ability to adjust the game’s saturation – and bring it to your own taste – is something that most games should feature as an in-game option. Make no mistake, this FXAA Injector tool is a must-have tool as the game looks so much more vivid with it. Download link and comparison video below. Continue reading Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning looks awesome with this FXAA Injector – Vanilla vs Skyrim FXAA Injector→

Friday, what a lovely day, right? It’s the end of your working day, the day before weekend, the day when you can finally play your favourite game. Oh, God bless Friday. And what happens when you try to play Battlefield 3? Nothing. Nada. Why? But because Origin is down… or should I say ‘broken’ since you can’t login and even if you do, you get a lovely crash. Oh, and you won’t be able to see the games that you’ve purchased in your account. Lovely. First Ubisoft with their servers issues and now EA. Can it get any better?
