Apr 23rd 2008 11:01PM You can use adapters on the market to use console controllers. If you're a PC gamer, odds are you already have a controller anyway ( I use the adapter to use my XB360 wireless controllers ).
Rumor: Crysis shown on Xbox 360 to 'prospective publishers' at GDC {Joystiq}
Mar 4th 2008 10:05PM As a console and a PC Gamer... Crysis IS crap.
The whole idea of the nano-suit was cool and all... until you find yourself constantly standing around waiting for the suit to charge.
FSU student receives misdemeanor charges after making threats on Xbox Live {Joystiq}
Dec 16th 2007 7:47PM What ever happened to good old police work and a little bit of investigation before declaring a complete lock-down of a school? Seems way too knee jerk of a reaction to me. There was no clear evidence this kid was going to do anything. They searched his living quarters: no weapons, no planning material. This is a classic case of over-reaction by Big Brother who knows what is best for us.
None of us knows what this kid said to make the presumption he made "a well detailed, well-thought out, threat against his school to random strangers." Until we're told further by news outlets, it looks like LEO took the words of one gamer 2400 miles away and immediately acted without further investigation.
Anyway... looks like most of you disagree with me here and would rather see a pro-active police force. Just remember that they usually start trampling on your rights in their attempts to be pro-active.

Warhawk expands in December with new maps, dropship {Joystiq}
Nov 26th 2007 11:56AM I wouldn't pay for the expansion. I just didn't like Warhawk... but then again, I didn't like Battefield either.
Back to COD4...
Rein: No work [for now] on 360's Unreal Tournament III, Us: Oh, OK [Updated] {Joystiq}
Nov 15th 2007 10:19PM Hmm... COD4 does fine on the Xbox 360 without mouse and keyboard as well as Halo 3. I have to admit mouse and keyboard would be nice.
PS3 firmware 2.00 tomorrow, full details today {Joystiq}
Nov 7th 2007 2:02PM I luckily gave up on the PS3 in time and returned it. I bought it last month and really gave it a shot (I couldn't return Heavenly Sword or Warhawk which are pretty cool games). The problem: reported game delays and missing or worse performance than the XB360 counterparts. Also I thought Linux and the touted Media Center capabilities were going to be awesome but instead it was a huge letdown.
So I took the money and built a real HTPC instead. I also figure $40/month for XB Live ain't too bad. Did I regret it? In some ways. The PS3 has SOOOO much potential. The last time I hung on to a system that had sooo much "potential" and were promised awesome games by the manufacturer... I got stuck with a POS Atari Jaguar. Now comparing the PS3 to the Jaguar may be harsh since Sony has a lot of expendable cash... but it still doesn't change my mind.
Deliver on the promises and then I'll buy a PS3 again: More games with the same features and framerate as the competitors' version, a real media center (more codecs), Linux with access to hardware acceleration. Come on Sony... you really don't have anything to lose at this point.
