Digital Distractions: The XCPUS Electronics and Gaming Blog

Once again, I'd like to explicitly state that the software that I'm previewing here, isn't release. It's not even Beta.



Mozilla's development team would really like us to know that the software codenamed Fennec is actually what they call Pre-Alpha, in other words, it's a debug issue, with none of the memory/CPU optimizations or full features that we'll find in the release. This is essential ...

If you haven't been under an internet gaming rock for the last week or so, you'd full well know that the expansion to the spiritual successor of Baldur's Gate, Dragon Age came out this week on Tuesday.

Now that I've got your attention with a frankly ludicrous title, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say actually, the current PC/console gaming divide is dying. I mean, really think about it, the console as we know it has become relegated to either becoming a mini computer, see the Playstation 3, or a really advanced etch and sketch, see the Wii.
