Just saw that Computer Gaming World/Games for Windows Magazine has finally ended their nearly 30-year long run . They'll be moving to the web, but it's startling for me to realize that this magazine (that I basically grew up with) is now a thing of the...
Thought this story from Next Gen was interesting since I used to work at Intel as their PC Games evangelist. Back in the day, Intel always struggled with what to do with the burgeoning console market. There was a general belief that the PC was where gaming...
First, a hand drawn Myst map. Spent way too much time in this world - probably one of the last, great, classic adventure games. And then a map I've never seen before - an incredible map/poster of Zork II. I'd kill to have a copy to frame and hang on the...
Just came across this NeoGAF forum thread and had to point you to it to see some cool adventure game maps. You probably won't care unless you're an oldschool gamer who remembers trying to map out that #!$!% maze in Zork 1 by hand, but these brought a...
Get Windows. At least according to this amusing Extreme Tech article. My favorite quote: “So where does all of this leave Linux gamers? One word: Windows. Yep, you read that right. If you're a gamer, do yourself a favor and just buy a copy of Windows...

Been meaning to write some thoughts about Live Anywhere, the initiative we announced at E3 this year to bring the Xbox Live online gaming service to Windows and other devices such as cell phones. Several sites had articles on the topic, including Arstechnica...
Michael Wolf posted some good links to recent Games for Windows articles over on Gamerscoreblog.com, and I wanted to make sure you guys were aware of them. There's been a lot of good work to make Windows Vista a really compelling platform for both game...
A buddy at mine who is still at Intel had some thoughts to share about this article I wrote earlier. To quote: "OEMs buy Intel integrated graphics because it's inexpensive and helps them lower prices in their value PCs, which makes owning a PC affordable...
That's the question out of the Develop in Brighton conference today. Mark Rein of Epic railed on against Intel's support of high-end integrated graphics (or lack thereof) with comments such as this: "I'm concerned about the level of growth in the PC games...
