Details about Playstation 4 OS developmentWe have some details about the development of the Playstation 4 OS. The Operating System is called “Orbis OS”. It is a modified version of FreeBSD 9.0. We aren’t sure if this will bring again the “Other OS” functions to Playstation 4 (remember that this option enabled Playstation 3 to in

In OZombie, players will battle a brain-eating Scarecrow for control of Oz with the help of the Lion, Tin Woodsman and the great-great-granddaughter of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz.

Ever since the first Alice game, I’ve been fascinated with American McGee’s macabre twist on classic tales. I can’t want to see the outcome of this if it gets funded.

It’s a shame that’s also been put on hold.

Yikes: Baldur’s Gate Enhanced Pulled, BGII On HoldI am worried. I still don’t know what a Beamdog is, and now my chances of finding out are l

Always on DRM is being removed, with the One only requiring a connection once to set the console up. Their used game/borrowing policy has also shifted to mimic Sony’s.
