60 MBPS Broadband From Charter Communications



Charter Communications is crossing the barriers set by providers like Comcast and Verizon in the field of broadband Internet. The company is all ready for providing 60 MBPS broadband Internet thus crossing the current top speed of 50 MBPS provided by verizon and comcast.

Starting the coming week, 60 MBPS broadband service from Charter will start in St Louis and then will be rolled over to other places where charter Communications is currently serving. No doubt, broadband at 60 MBPS speed will be the fastest broadband Internet available in USA. Although the fastest broadband available globally is 40 GBPS available in Swedan.

Well, with this very high speed broadband Internet connection, gamers around the USA can download games and games related files at the click of the button. Imagine downloading Bioshock in just few minutes. How would be that? This 60 MBPs broadband service from Charter has been named Ultra60 and will be available at a monthly rent of $140. You can save $10 every month if you have Charter telephone service subscription. The current upload speed limit is restricted to 5 MBPs but that is also very good for uploading big files even.

GTA 4 PC Tweak/Tuning for 512MB Graphics Card Memory



Are you annoyed with how GTA 4 plays on your PC with 512MB graphics card installed? Here is a tweak which can let you play GTA 4 without any video memory hurdles. But before applying that tweak you should know something about the tweak.

You know GTA 4 PC version demands for lot of VRAM (memory) in order to play it efficiently. 256 MB graphics card is nonth a good option for this game. Even 512MB graphics card is not enough to handle this game memory needs. But we can't afford to go for higher end cards as well. S we have to look for some tweak or tuning to apply to GTA 4 PC version so that it can be tuned to play efficiently on 512MB graphics card at least.

You can use "norestrictions" and "nomemrestrict" commands to tune GTA 4 PC version to max out all options but the drawback of this is that it will result in visual quality loss. However this quality loss can be avoided by following the instructions below:

  1. Create a file commandline.txt in your game's main folder.
  2. Write -norestrictions and -nomemrestrict commands in this file and save it.
  3. This will activate the maximal settings in the game.
  4. Define parameter -availablevidmem which pretends 50% more video memory for the game.
  5. After you sea your memory limit increasedyou can play GTA 4 on PC without any further hurdles.

So this is an easy tweak to tune GTA 4 to play on PC with 512MB graphics card installed which will virtually make your installed memory to look 50% more than it actually is thus satisfying the memory needs of the game.

Battlefield 3 May come in 2009



It is not yet officially confirmed and no official details are available for it yet, but people at IGN has speculated that EA DICE will be rolling Battlefield 3 into the war field in 2009 only. They have also stated the reason why EA will be finishing the Battlefield 3 in 2009.

EA has finished off Battlefield: Bad Company and Mirror's Edge which are now out in the market and Battlefield: Heroes is almost close to launch, so DICE unit have enough time to work on Battlefield 3 in 2009. This is all that has been speculated at IGN 2009 Preview.

It will be a followup to Battlefield 2 that was released in 2005. For four years no game has come that can match what Battlefield 2 has offered other than Battlefield 2142. So Battlefield 3 is being looked upon with great speculations which can return the series to popular setting of modern warfare.

Free PS3 Mirror's Edge Time Trial Map Coming Today



Few hours have been left for the release of Mirror's Edge free time trial map which is going to be available exclusively on PlayStation 3. Tom Farrer the producer of the game has talked about it on Playstation blog where he also mentioned the thinking behind it.

He said, "When we started Mirror’s Edge we were working with abstract environments, quick test levels that we threw together so we could mess around with the moves. Then came the game and the more realistic urban settings which were a lot of fun to work with but there was always a little voice in the back of our minds saying, “Remember when you could build any bizarre shape you wanted?”"

Mirror's Edge free time trial map for PS3 is named Synethesia and is the only free map available for PS3 version of the game. There will be more maps releasing in the future under the Pure Time Trial Map Pack which will release in February. All of these maps will be different and will be based on different themes. While some Mirror's Edge mas will include urban settings, mos of them will be focusing on settings beyond the urban gameplay. Developers don't want to restrict the game to urban gameplay only, rather free to move gameplay will be induced.

Wait for an update from us when Mirror's Edge PS3 free time trial map becomes available. Hopefully Synethesia download will go live within few hours. You can subscribe to our RSS feeds so that you can know about Mirror' Edge free time trial map by email

Play Fallout 3 When it Finishes



If you have played Fallout 3 you know it gets ended up soon and there is no way to play the content other than the main story after it finishes. To address this problem, soon Bethesda will be releasing a patch for the game that will let you play Fallout 3 even after your main story ends. You can keep exploring wastelands after you complete the prime story of the game.
Play Fallout 3
This is not a patch rather a DLC that will let you play Fallout 3 further behind the game story. When you download this DLC and apply it to your game then everything will be opened for you to play in Fallout 3. This DLC is currently scheduled for release on PC and XBox 360 only with no current plans for updating PS3 version of the game.

"When the credits roll in “Fallout 3,” the game ends. You might have dozens of unfinished side quests, but unless you boot an old save, you can’t access them. Bethesda Softworks is changing that with “Fallout 3″’s downloadable content, which gives players the ability to keep playing."

This is ultimately a good news for PC and 360 players because they were demanding for such feature from long. Either you play Fallout 3 online or offline, this DLC will be always handy to you.

We will let you know when this DLC becomes available so that you can play Fallout 3 not only upto where the main story ends but deep behind in it.

No Fable 2 Coming on PC For Now



Lots of speculations regarding Fable 2 PC version have been there for past few days. But from now onwards no one will talk about it coming on to PC until Lionhead Studio itself make any statement for Fable 2 coming on PC.


Just recently, Lionhead's community manager Woody has confirmed about not developing any F2 for the PC. He said that they are not working on any port for PC. He further added that if in future any development for Fable 2 PC version starts, they will let you know through their website(s). This means though game is not ported to Windows as of now but you can't deny the possibility of one coming to PC in future.

It has to be noted that original Fable was released a year later on on PC. So no wonders if Fable 2 takes even more than a year. Let's hope that it gets ported to PC as soon as it can.

New GTA 4 Mods coming after Patch



Just a day before yesterday, a GTA 4 PC patch 1.0.2.0 was released which tweaked the memory offsets of the game thus resulting in the broken ASI support. Due to this, all the previously released mods could become incompatible with the game after you apply patch 2 to the GTA 4. Mods released before this patch may get possible recompilation then as no mod will be consistent with the game now.

New mods releasing for the game will be out of the reach of this effect because new GTA 4 mods will be created accordingly. However to undo the effect of patch 2 on previously released GTA 4 mods, you can apply the following solutions as mentioned on multiplayernetwork.

GTA IV Magic Patcher: GTA IV v1.0.2.0 no longer requires you to keep copies of all the game's original files. The new version of the Magic Patcher simply comes with a filelist.pak file which you must use in place of the original. Feel free to delete all your .magic files!

GTA IV ASI Loader: this tool works with v1.0.2.0 now. It comes with just one DLL file which you need to put in your root GTA IV directory. You need this tool to run any script mods that come as ASI or DLL files.

XLiveLess 0.94b: works with both v1.0.1.0 and v1.0.2.0 of GTA IV. If you used XLiveLess for your savegames, they will all be completely functional again once you install this new version.

SparkIV 0.6.0: works with v1.0.2.0 and also allows you to preview and export audio files.

All these patchers and loaders for tweaking GTa 4 mods can be found at the link mentioned above.

Insurance Policy for World of Warcraft



Have you ever heard of getting insurance policy for video games? Well if not, then hear about the first ever company offering insurance cover for any kind of video game. Youplayorwepay.com is a company which has shown interest in entering the insurance market for video games segment with its start with world renowned MMORPG World of Warcraft.

The company has yet started providing insurance cover for WoW only but for all the problems concerned with the game. Suppose, your game doesn't works or servers are down then you are viable to get paid by the company under its insurance policy for World of Warcraft. Or suppose you want to login into the game but you can't because the servers were too busy, then also you are elgible to get insurance claim for your WoW.

This World of Warcraft insurance cover policy will be a subscription based service not exceeding $10 per month. However the company has varying plans for the game. Normally you will get more than what you have paid to play the game if the need arises ever and if no need arises, you will simply loose $10 which I think you should not worry about.

Many people earlier believed that this site is scam and will do a big fraud with them after a while. Blizzard hs no association with the company and have yet to make any confirmation for such insurance policy for World of Warcraft. However, the site doesn't believes to be a scam especially after the interviews of its two co founders.

America's Army 3 System Requirements



After the day the game was officially announced, here comes the system requirements for the game. PCGH has reported about what it takes to play America's Army 3 on your PC.

Well, America's Army 3 system requirements are quite complex and hence might not be played on a simple computer. More advanced computer that has Quad processor, heavy graphics card with shader model 3.0, high speed broadband connection can only support to play America's Army 3.

All the system requirements for the game has been given below.

America's Army 3 minimum system requirements:
Operating System (OS): Microsoft Windows XP (with Service Pack 2)/Microsoft Windows Vista
Processor (CPU): 3.0+ GHz Single Core CPU (Minimum)
Memory (RAM): 1GB RAM (Minimum)
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant, Shader 3.0 enabled video card with 256MB RAM (NVIDIA 6600 or better/ATI X1300 or better)(Minimum)
Sound Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant sound card (Minimum)
Hard Drive Space: 5GB free hard drive space
Network: Broadband Internet Connection
DVD-ROM: 4x DVD-ROM (Disc Copies Only)


America's Army 3 recommended system requirements are:
Operating System (OS): Microsoft Windows XP (with Service Pack 2)/Microsoft Windows Vista
Processor (CPU): 2.4+ GHz Dual/Quad Core CPU (Recommended)
Memory (RAM): 2GB RAM (Recommended)
Video Card: Direct X 9.0c compliant, Shader 3.0 enabled video card with 512MB RAM (NVIDIA 7950 or better/ATI X1950 or better) (Recommended)
Sound Card: Creative EAX 4.0 compliant sound card (Audigy 2, X-Fi series) (Recommended)
Hard Drive Space: 5GB free hard drive space
Network: Broadband Internet Connection
DVD-ROM: 4x DVD-ROM (Disc Copies Only)

The game is being developed over Unreal Engine 3, the most advanced game engine available and is currently scheduled for summers, 2009. You can play America's Army 3 online as it is online game when it releases by confronting to these system requirements. Most of the games coming these days need support for shader model 3.0 without which there arises graphical performance in the game. However, America's Army 3 graphics are said to be of very high quality so here is a doubt if it could be played on the systems with lower configurations.

Also it might not be possible to play America's Army 3 online on laptops as most laptops doesn't supports configuration as asked by the game. If we go on to buy a laptop that can support America's Army 3 system requirements (recommended) than that is going to cost no where less than $3000. So better play America's Army 3 on PC satisfying these system requirements and doing the upgradation if necessary but to play America's Army 3 online on laptops, it is a big no from me.

Tom Clany's Endwar for PC Confirmed Finally



After lots of yes and no's, it is finally confirmed that Tom Clancy's Endwar for PC will be releasing soon possibly before the March ends. There has been a lot of unofficial talk over the Endwar PC version but Ubisoft has now officially confirmed that the game will release on PC. The game is already available for play on consoles.

Well Ubisoft delayed Tom Clancy's Endwar for PC several times earlier because of the fear that digital piracy might affect the sales of console version as well. However from time to time, it kept on releasing PC versions of the several of its games after they have been released on consoles. Watch Tom Clancy's Endwar coming to PC before the end of the March. Wait to see if any Endwar PC demo releases ever.

Blizzard has a fixed date for the beta, however, it's still a secret.
The multiplayer part of the game is basically done, except for a few details.
There will be several opportunities to participate in the beta to come (including competitions, perhaps a kind of story competition or similar).
In the current build (internally at Blizzard), there is a Dark Pylon with a cool ability, which enables Probes to harvest faster within the reach of the Pylon.
The Command Center can now use a new cool ability that creates a "bigger" SCV which is better at harvesting.
Supply depots can be upgraded to give +2 Supply.
Xordiah, who is a "Protoss Fetishist", is Very Happy.
This build's Immortals are extremely strong.

Final Fantasy XIII Demo Release Date Announced



On 16th April you can get an access to Final Fantasy XIII demo but you have to do little money work to get it. Problem is Square Enix is releasing Final Fantasy 13 demo as a part of Japanese FFVII advent children complete animated film bundle, so to get it you have to first buy the film bundle. FFVII animated film bundle is not cheap anyway but here is a work around which can get you Final Fantasy XIII demo for cheap.

Demo will be available intwo packages. One will be special console bundle that will include Advent Children film, PS3 160 GB and a copy of Final Fantasy XIII demo but that will cost you around GBP 375 which I think you are never going to spend for a demo game and even then when you already have PS3.

So another option is to get Final Fantasy XIII demo with Advent Children film alone which you can get for GBP 44. This option looks betterthan the previous one but is not cheap still. So better buy this package only if you seriously want to play Final Fantasy XIII demo otherwise this will be just a waste of money if FFVII Advent Children Film is not for you.

Initially, Final Fantasy XIII demo version will be released in Japan only, but because children film will be available in English, so there is possibility to play Final Fantasy XIII demo on US and European PS3 consoles. Nothing has been said by Square Enix regarding the European demo version other than that it has still to talk more over the FFXIII demo in the near future. Hope that you can play Final Fantasy XIII demo if you are in Europe though.

You can play Final Fantasy XIII demo for 90 minutes according to IGN. This PS3 exclusive game will soon get ported to XBox 360 for European and American markets.

Update: Though Final Fantasy XIII demo is announced and is soon to arrive but news has come that there will be no Final Fantasy XIII DLC. So you watch for Final Fantasy XIII demo, full version and patches only from us.

Ok now some good news. Final Fantasy XIII demo has arrived now in Japanese retail stores. Unofficial Final Fantasy fan site has reported about Final Fantasy XIII demo arriving on its website.

Using WineHQ, you can run any Windows application and software on Linux and Mac OS X type operating systems without any hassle.

This is not just any other Windows software. Rather it is a software that helps you execute Windows applications on Linux and POSIX compatible operating systems without the need of any API. Originally WineHQ was developed for running Windows 3.1 applications on Linux in 1993. Over the years, lot of developments have been made to the software and is now capable ofrunning Win 32 applications as well. It can efficiently run Windows XP applications and software or Linux, Mac OS X and other compatible operating systems. Its compatibility with Windows Vista is not determined yet and it is too early to say anything about its compatibility with Windows 7 at this time.

If you often work on a platform other than Windows (Windows 98, Windows 2000, XP, Vista) then you need WineHQ in order to migrate your Windows applications to operating systems like Linux. This is a mandatory program for you to download then. You can download WinHQ from here. Click on the link to get free download of free software to run Windows software and applications on Linux, Mac OS X, BSD and other POSIX compatible operating systems.

In fact Mirror's Edge free full version download doesn't exists. There hasn't been any PC demo for the game then how there could be any free Mirror's Edge full version download.

It looks as if Electronic Arts is quite hurry in selling more and more copies of Mirror's Edge PC. The game released yesterday and soon a patch was released for it. Now it has made an announcement regarding Mirror's Edge PC downloadable content which is due for January 29 release.

The version released on PC is almost similar to that of console except the addition of new PHYSX game engine which has boosted its graphical performance (and that there wasn't any Mirror's Edge PC demo). This means no new content has been added to Mirror's Edge PC version yet. So that's why EA DICE has announced downloadable content for the game very quickly.

So what will be there in this PC Mirror's Edge downloadable content? Mirror's Edge DLC for PC will be the same time trail Map Pack which is going to be released for its console counterparts. Both the DLC will arrive on same day i.e. on January 29.

Ok, Is this Mirror's Edge PC DLC free? Answer is both yes and no. If you have pre-orderd the PC version then you will get downloadable content for Mirror's Edge free, else you have to pay $10 to download this time trial map pack.

Wait for January 29, when you can get Mirror's Edge (DLC) downloadable content for PC as both free (pre-orderers) and premium download. You can download Mirror's Edge PC Patch 1.01 to get freezing issue fix.

A very first patch update has been released for Mirror's Edge PC version. EA has released Mirror's Edge update 1.01 a day after the game was released for PC. This is not a very big patch update but is just a freezing issue fix.

This Mirror's Edge update is for all versions of the game including US, UK, German etc except for the Japanese and the Korean version. Mirror's Edge Patch for Japanese and Korean versions will be made available shortly. For now you can get update for all other versions of the game.

No Dead Space PC Demo Released



After waiting a long for Dead Space PC demo, what I got is "big nothing". I thought there would be Dead Space PC demo as there was one released on the XBLM but it looked as if EA wasn't anymore interested in releasing the demo version after having it launched for the one platform. I don't exactly know why there hasn't been any Dead Space demo for the PC, but whatever the reason may be, one thing is confirmed that there will not be any demo version for the PC version of the game.

EA has put digital download of free Dead Space full version on Steam which you can download by using free service to download premium games and free games digitally but sadly no Dead Space PC demo that EA could think of releasing.

Question is why the discrimination between the two versions of the same game. If there could be free Dead Space demo for XBox then why not for PC. Doesn't EA believes in giving equal value to all the versions of the same game. Then EA shouldn't have released any demo for XBox and PX3 as well.

It is useless to talk about Dead Space PC demo now as it is never going to reease now. However I suggest EA to release demo version Dead Space 2 if it is planning to develop the next game in the series.

Left 4 Dead Update Arriving



Soon Left 4 Dead update will be in your hands. Chet Faliszek of Valve has confirmed a new Left 4 Dead update which is to arrive soon (as soon as possible) though not given the final date of the patch. This is not going to be any simple update for the game. This Left 4 Dead update will contain all the bug fixes that has to be in the game, not leaving even a single one.

Well an update for the game was demanded by the community from the long time, and it seems now that the day is far near when this Left 4 Dead update will arrive. A minor Left 4 Dead patch update has already been released but users were looking for some major fix to the game, which looks to come out by the end of the month, may be earlier.

Regarding the update, not many details have arrived, but one thing is clear that the patch won't be the same for the PC and Xbox versions. Both of these platforms will get independent Left 4 Dead update and only Left 4 Dead DLC will be simultaneous. Talking about the delay caused for the Patch, Chet explained it as Valve's own fault and said that it has nothing to do with Microsoft. Final date for the patch update is not given yet. Anyway you can subscribe to our RSS feeds to know more about Left 4 Dead update which is to come soon.

Saints Row 2 PC Download on Steam Delayed



Update January 8: Saints Row 2 PC has been delivered on Steam now. You can buy the full version download from Steam. Saints Row 2 full version download is also available through Direct2Drive but you require Steam client istalled in order to activate it.

Original: Well Saints row 2 PC version is in stores now but its download through Steam has just been delayed. Saints Row 2 PC has been released on January 6 and is available in all the leading game stores and through resellers like Amazon but its digital version has just been simply postponed.

Saints Row 2 PC was to release on Steam in conjunction with its retail release but because there were some issues with the Steam Client, so the digital download just could not be released. THQ said that there are some issues going over with the Steam client which prevented them from launching Saints Row 2 download through it. Hopefully these issues will be resolved soon and you can download full version through Steam soon. But what about demo? Saints Row 2 demo download will not be there.

Those who have bought PC version in retail can still activate the game through Steam because the client is capable of handling DRM requests, anyway. The price for retail version is $39.99 but the price of Saints Row 2 PC full version download through Steam is not yet available. It is going to be nowhere less than he retail price of the game. I think Saints Row 2 PC full version download price on Stem will be available after the full version releases on Steam. There is no Saints Row 2 free full version. So don't try to find free Saints ow 2 full version download.

You can check Saints Row 2 system requirements to check whether your PC can play the game or not.

Left 4 Dead Fix - Freezing Issue Fix



If you are playing Left 4 Dead, then this issue might be annoying you just as it is annoying this guy at techworldwide.net. Well what is this issue at all?

An issue named freezing issue has occured in the game which freezes your gameplay and plays the same loop of sound again and again while the game remains freezed. This is a very critical issue which if not at all, has many copies of the game in its web. Suppose you start playing Left 4 Dead and you are playing through very important level, but certainly game freezes thus hampering you from proceeding further. Will you like this at all? Never, so that is why I am calling this issue very critical. But you don't have to worry as there is a fix available for this particular issue.

Well I haven't played Left 4 Dead yet, so not sure about the working of this fix, but according to the inventor this Left 4 Dead fix works very well without any hindrance to the game. What you have to do to fix Left 4 Dead from freezing sound loop issues is to go into options>video>advanced settings>MULTICORE RENDERING and disable multicore rendering there. According to the poster, disabling multicore rendering will not affect the performance of the game, instead you can play Left 4 Dead much smoother than before by implementing this fix. This Left 4 Dead fix given here is for GeForce users, hence I am not sure if it will work for Radeon users as well.

Free Dead Space Online Comic Full Issue



Did you play Dead Space? Free online comic is issued on the title that you can read at Newsarama. Entire first issue of the online Dead Space comic is free and you can read it by clicking on the link given.

There are total of six issues of the mini series and the comic has been out before the actual game was released. But Newsarama made the first issue free just recently. Dead Space free online comic first issue is a holiday giveup from the website. The story in the comic is a prequal to that of the game, so you must have played the game first before you can read the comic online. If you haven't yet played the game, you should play Dead Space, then come to read free online comic published over the title.

The comic may contain violence and mature content not suitable for minors, so my advice is that minors should not read free Dead Space Online comic'c first edition.

God of War 3



Nothing much is known about God of War 3 as nothing serious about the game has been told by the developers SCE Studio but here is all that we know about it including God of War 3 demo details.

First of all, it is being developed and published by Sony Computer Entertainment and is developed for PlayStation 3 exclusively. You can play God of War 3 on Playstation 3 only and is not going to be released for any other platform just like previously released games of the series which have ben developed for single playstation platform only. God of War 3 release date is not finalized but it is sure that it will be releasing in Fall, 2009. Rumors are God of War 3 release date is set for October 1, 2009 but this is just speculation.

Now let us talk abot the game play and development of the game. It is a hack and slash action adventure game based on the greek mytholigies. The game in fact shows why there were no more Greek mytholigies. The main focus of the game will be to find whether man needs God or not. Game also focus on the war between Gods and Titans which will result in the domination of one over other.

You can play God of War 3 in single player only and in full high definition resolution. It may be that co-operative mode get added to the game, but it is yet not confirmed. The game supports sixaxis tilts and vibrations. It is believed that it also supports Dualshock 3.

Well regarding God of War 3 demo no news is available. Hope there should be playable God of War 3 demo as was for Chains of Olympus. But seriously speaking I don't want to make any speculations for game, so wait and see what all comes under this game in the coming times.By the way we will tell you when God of War 3 full version download or in retail relases.

Update: In an Official Playstation Mag, God of War 3 is said to be released in Fall 2009 which means that game may gets released in October. However actual release information for God of War 3 will arrive at E3 only.
