Then Crytek, who bought the rights from a bankrupt THQ a few years back, started having similar money issues and after losing some key creatives, Deep Silver basically bought out both the All for a sequel to a game that’s legendarily mediocre. The video game industry is strange.
I don’t know who buys third-party controllers nowadays—I feel like the Xbox 360 controller is still the gold standard for PCs, with the Xbox One and DualShock 4 following close behind. But if you In a lot of ways the Wildcat is similar to the modular The main difference is placement—the Elite throws all four paddle switches on the back of the controller, while the Wildcat has two on top next to the LB and RB buttons and two (I swear this came from the press release) “removable aircraft-grade aluminum triggers” on the back.

I’m at PAX, so our weekly gaming round-up this week is more like a gaming round-up in progress. That I’ll never, ever update or finish.

If it wasn’t an app you were after, then just scroll down past the “more apps” button to see the other search results.
Consumer electronics vendors are going to Berlin next week with something to prove. At the IFA trade show, Samsung Electronics and Motorola Mobility aim to show that their smartwatches can compete with Apple’s, Sony needs to demonstrate that it’s still a relevant smartphone manufacturer, and LG want to convince customers that it’s time to buy a new TV.

If Samsung wants to keep the cost down and improve the battery life, removing the integrated 3G connection would also be a step in the right direction.

The technology could find its way into soldiers' uniforms as health monitors or placed in the cramped compartments of a ship or aircraft to measure structural integrity, the official said.
