In the interview he said: The micro-transaction is so strong and it’s definitely a much better model. I think all companies have to transition over to that. If you talk to many […]
Whilst Crysis isn’t exactly known for its stellar multiplayer it is probably not surprising that Crytek won’t be working on a solution to keep it alive for Crysis 1 and 2. Even though the multiplayer communities for these games probably aren’t bustling I hate to see any game lose a major feature. I never played […]

Jellyfish swarms are increasingly wiping out fish farms and drifting into desalinization plants and the cooling systems of nuclear power plants, causing them to shut down. They’re even outgrowing our appetites, reproducing faster than we can eat them. An Israeli nano tech start up called Cine’al however has come up […]
