League of Legends Servers face serious lag
It appears that on Thursday, the League of Legends servers had been facing an immense amount of lag and downtime. It seems a reason for the problem was an all-to-familiar pest causing problems. The same group that was responsible for causing huge chaos at the end of 2013 seems to have come back as the group had taken responsibility for the constant server downtime over the last 12-24 hours. As proof of their claims to be responsible, the group has been restoring and re-attacking the servers at will. As of now, the North American and European servers continue to drop randomly. Developer Riot Games has said that they’ve been working on the issues while the group still solved while the group continues to taunt the team and its fans. Source: Michael Straw
Call of Duty: Ghosts DLC feature Captain Price as playable character
Even though Ghosts and Modern Warfare are set in two separate Call of Duty universes, they’re both developed by Infinity Ward, so there is some common ground which opens the path for a crossover. And the crossover is the Captain Price: Legend Pack, which adds Captain Price, voiced over by actor Billy Murray, as a playable character in Ghosts multiplayer and squads matches. Not just that, but he also comes with his own Personalisation Pack. For $3.99 you get Price, a weapon camo, a player background, a player patch and reticule and not to mention the moustache too. The Legend Pack will come out next Tuesday on Xbox consoles. And it’s worth pointing out that Ghosts micro-items do not transfer between systems. So you can’t buy a personalisation pack on the 360 and carry it o...
New Mode Carrier Assault added to Battlefield 4’s Naval Strike DLC
Not sure how many of you’ll will have an idea as to what Battlefield 2142 is. It was the 2006 Battlefield spin-off set in the future. One of the modes on that game called Titan was quite a hit with players. And now, developer DICE is reimagining it for release as DLC for Battlefield 4. Naval Strike, the Battlefield 4 expansion will include a new mode called Carrier Assault, which in the words of DICE is described as a “re-imagining of the classic Battlefield 2142 Titan Mode”. No much is known about this project at the moment, but we can look back at Titan for some clues as to what this upcoming DLC has in store for us. In Titan, players formed teams and their aim was to work together to destroy opposing team’s Titan while defending their own. Titans were airborne wa...

Dying Light – Humanity Trailer
“Kill or be killed,” they say. But is that what you would do? Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Techland are asking that very question in the latest trailer for Dying Light. Doctors, teachers, fathers, sons…or so they were. But now they’ve lost the light behind their eyes, and are vicious monsters who become even more threatening as day turns to night. When neighbours turn on neighbours, and the fight to stay alive becomes the only thing keeping you alive, what will become of humanity? We’ve gotten used to killing zombies in video games over the years, but who were these zombies before they became infected? Is there still a human inside of them? In the ‘Humanity’ trailer, Techland aims to address the reality behind the zombie fiction, and...

Roccat Kone Pure Optical Review
Overview Even before taking the mouse from the box, I just had this feeling that this product had something special about it. I mean if you just take a look at the box you’ll immediately notice that a lot of work has gone in to that box. The box, other than being very good looking, also boasts of the various features that the mouse has and at the back of the box its said in about 8 languages. There is even an embossed logo for the 2D Titan wheel that this mouse has. The folks over at Roccat try extremely hard in manufacturing peripheral devices for PC. From the pictures and video you can see that the box actually opens up to showcase the look and feel of the Kone Pure Optical. The mouse is covered in a plastic casing, but the case is cut out in the shape of the mouse, therefore you ...
Flappy Bird dev removes the popular app
In a bewildering series of events Flappy Bird developer Dong Nguyen has removed his hugely popular app, despite it raking in $50K a day in ad revenue. Why did he take it down? It’s a bit of a mystery, but it sounds like he didn’t like the fame and the throngs of criticism that came with it. “I am sorry ‘Flappy Bird’ users, 22 hours from now, I will take ‘Flappy Bird’ down. I cannot take this anymore,” he tweeted. “I can call ‘Flappy Bird’ is a success of mine. But it also ruins my simple life. So now I hate it,” he wrote in another tweet. Some hypothesise that the game is being removed due to legal issues as Flappy Bird’s assets bear a strong resemblance to those of Mario’s, but Nguyen is adamant that this ...
Titanfall introduces the IMC faction
Titanfall introduces the IMC faction, and here is what it is all about: The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation, or IMC, started out small, in natural resource extraction industries, under the name Hammond Engineering. Fifteen years later, demand for Titan manufacturing materials, combined with Hammond’s market-cornering planetary survey technology and map database rights, contributed to explosive growth for the company. Over the course of a century, a series of acquisitions, mergers, and re-brandings lead to the transformation of Hammond Engineering into the sprawling commercial empire that is the IMC. Despite their reputation for exploitative behavior on the Frontier, they receive little criticism from their shareholders and customers living in the Core Systems – the material convenie...
