Recently read the article in the last Game Informer about Thief and I was under the impression that all the holes had been plugged on that sinking ship of a project.
Pretty worried right now. It's like the game is cursed or something. |

Late Night News Edition
Barely a day after EA got the license to the Star Wars series, the company managed to find a loophole to back out of having to make Star Wars games for the Wii U (and 3DS). The company stated future Star Wars games will use the Frostbite 3 engine while claiming the Wii U can't handle it.
According to the original terms of the agreement, EA was required to make games for all platforms for the series with the only exceptions being social and mobile platforms (Disney covers those platforms themselves). http://www.destructoid.com/ea-s-star...e-253262.phtml http://www.destructoid.com/frostbite...s-253295.phtml |

Bought The Movies for PC from CEX. Wondering if it contains Securom. It says it contains protection to stop piracy but it's not specific. Always paranoid about installing stuff on my PC that may have Securom. Anyone know if it does or doesn't?

It was a spur of the moment thing. I was in the shop and it was just £3. I thought it was old enough that it might have been pre-securom.
I did a little Googling when I got home and can't really find an answer one way or another. Just people speculating before it was released, I think. |

NextBox is almost certainly going to be called Xbox Infinity. The infinity symbol also doubles nicely as an 8, giving brand cohesion with Windows 8.
