If you're a fan of teams like Tottenham or Aston Villa then you'd probably hate it when your team competes in bidding wars with Chelsea. Some of you reading this may not understand what that means, but it's basically competing with the financially bigger clubs. Reason why is because players wanna just go to the most attractive team and a richer club is always the way to go because of the money and opportunities you can gain. What I'm trying to get at is this is the reason why Activision went to ...

Through one of our sources in the modding scene, it appears Microsoft has hired a high profiled pirate to help prevent piracy. Not only that, but this person is a huge figure in the psp modding scene. We cannot unveil who he is because we promised our source we wouldn't, but you could figure it out yourself. Now this method is not unheard of before and has even been implemented by Bethesda and Valve hiring modders to help improve their games. But for Microsoft to hire pirates to help with someth...

Is Xbox becoming a general name for video games? Obama keeps urging kids to put that Xbox away
It's beginning to sound like some sort of trademark with this guy. Barack Obama held his Back to School address today, which is being watched by thousands of children and their parents across the nation. Sounds heart-warming, right? Well, not so much (for us gamers, anyway) when Obama once again urges that children should be spending more time doing homework and studying than sitting in front of that TV and playing that Xbox all day.
I’ve talked about your parents’ responsibility for making...
