Most Broken Game: The First Hour Survival in open world adventure games like <i>Boiling Point</i> can be a tricky and even somewhat distasteful business. I remember being put off by having to acquire my first suit of basic armour off a still-warm corpse in <i>Oblivion</i>, for example. Some might argue that walking a mile in another manâs shoes is a way to empathy and understanding, but Iâd wager they didnât envisage killing the owner of said shoes and stealing all his belongings as a prefix to that meaningful walk.<br />
<br />
In <i>Boiling Point</i> you donât need to steal clothes, but you still end up doing your fair share of scavenging. New players start facing the world of Realia with just a basic pistol and a knife â and to give you an idea of how useless those weapons are Iâll explain that your pistol only carries five bullets. It may look like an awesomely powerful Desert Eagle, but youâll find you need to reload at least once even if youâre shooting at an unarmed Old Granny. <br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bit-tech/all/~4/XB12sqUN0P8" height="1" width="1"/> Mon, 06 Sep 2010 09:11:38 +0100

Too many cooks I never really gave much thought to the continual obsession of branding every possible motherboard feature. Of course I've I noted the new name for a new chip or feature as I do reviews, but that's about it.<br />
<br />
Recently though, I sat down and did a very unmanly thing: I read through the manual of the board I was testing. Actually, first I browsed through the motherboard's reviewers guide while Windows 7 installed - these are documents issued to the press to tell us what range of results the company is getting internally from a few standard tests (usually 3DMark of some kind), so we know our board isn't broken. It's also used to highlight how to use the groovy new features. <br />
<br />
Once I got reading and quickly got lost among the many, <i>many</i> names the company uses for every conceivable facet of its board design. In fact, after some deciphering, it even appears some features have different names depending on the <i>method</i> in which you use them! <br /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/bit-tech/all/~4/lkWb5izpwJw" height="1" width="1"/> Thu, 02 Sep 2010 11:27:06 +0100
