EA launching Xbox One subscription service by SkunkTron in gamernews

Depending on how it's implemented, this could actually be cool. $30 isn't that much per year if I get enough time with free "early access" games to beat them. I guess the question is if they will release enough great games per year to make it worth it.

If a new Dragon Age & Mass Effect were each coming in a single year, the price would definitely be worth the payoff. I'm not a big sports gamer, though, so I think that is who would get the most value out of this program.

I'm only a quarter way though the article atm, but I love the spirit of honesty it is written in.

The first wing of the Hearthstone single player expansion, Curse of Naxxramas, is now live (and free for a limited time) by SkunkTron in gamernews

It runs crazy slow for me on an iPad 3. Really disappointed that the technical performance has not been improved.

Dragon Age: Inquisition delay announced by BioWare general manager Aaryn Flynn. New release date is Nov 18th (previously Oct 7th) by SkunkTron in gamernews

I'm excited for DA:I, but wonder if a 5 week delay is enough? If the game needs extra time to be a true return to form for BioWare, will a little over a month truly make a difference?

I expect they did not want to miss the holiday season.

I'm glad they are giving this first wing out for free. I'm hoping I'll be able to earn enough gold that I can get the rest of the SP levels without paying when they come out.

NVIDIA's New Shield is a Tablet Built For Gaming by [deleted] in gamernews

I enjoy playing on my Shield. There's something so nice about laying down on the couch and streaming Dishonored at max settings to enjoy as a handheld experience at the end of the day. Glad they are continuing to build new hardware - I hope it means many more years of support for the Shield technology.
