I’ve said it before and will say it again; it was a really bad move to force both Origin and Battlelog in order to enjoy Battlefield 3. And as you’d expect, the PC gaming community has come up with some ways to override these obstacles. Well… sort of as the way to override Origin is illegal. Still, PC gamers have that option and it’s quite disturbing that we have to rely on crackers – yeah that’s right. We are now relying on crackers to fix our games – to simply enjoy the games we bought. Oh, the horror. Continue reading Enjoy Battlefield 3 without Origin or Battlelog using your browser→
As promised, Origin is extending its catalogue with third-party games and it’s time now for Capcom to jump on the ‘Origin-wagon’.

Exactly the same as with the Steam ones. Continue reading Capcom joins Origin; SSF4: AE and DR2: Off The Record available through EA’s distribution service→
I seriously don’t understand developers these days. After Rockstar’s adventure game, here comes another one that is locked at 30fps. And get this right; this is a racing game. Yeap, Electronic Arts’ and Black Box’s highly anticipated Need For Speed: The Run is locked at 30fps. L.A. Noire can get away with this limit as it’s a slow paced adventure game but what were Black Box thinking? This is simply unacceptable. Continue reading And another one bites the dust: NFS: The Run is locked at 30fps→
YouTube user ‘RiseDarthVader’ posted a great comparison between Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. Both of these games are running with max details at 1080p and we can clearly notice that Modern Warfare 2 features better scripted-events. In addition, although both of them feature scripted destruction, Modern Warfare 3 has more ‘in-your-face’ destruction that – ironically – looks better than BF3’s Frostbite 2.0 effects. On the other hand, the lighting is way better in BF3, as well as the general image quality. Enjoy the comparison after the jump!
