  • Crysis Multiplayer – DX10 or DX9

    It’s been quite a question: What will DirectX 10 bring that DirectX 9 will not have? For the Multiplayer Crysis, the answer seems to come from Total Crysis (they have a Crytek press information).

  • Bioshock is having real DRM problems

    We have been speaking a lot about Bioshock the newest First Person Shooter (FPS) PC video game from Second Take.
