Cold-hearted opinions. A unique view on the latest happenings of PC, PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox 360

GamesRadar recently went through a major overhaul - and for the better. Although they had some great content in there, but it was marred by a clunky navigation interface and the fact that they didn’t have much “textual” information on their home page. But those days are over, and the GamesRadar team has done a [...]

If there’s one thing that Microsoft has proved itself, it is that they are clearly inept in properly designing their operating systems. I mean look at Vista, something must have gone horribly wrong. So, what if the head of the Microsoft OS department was replaced by God Himself? What changes would God bring about in [...]

Here is the average Bangladeshi web surfers’ experience. Webpages take forever to load, and even after it does finish, bam, the service is out so you can’t surf the internet anymore. Well, I might have exaggerated a bit, but the underlying problem is still the same.
Even if you had enough and decided to change [...]

Piracy is rampant in Bangladesh, that’s not a strange fact. Bangladesh has a piracy rate of 92% (according to the Global Software Piracy Study 2006), is the largest user of pirated softwares in the Asia-Pacific and fourth largest in the world. Considering the fact that almost all the software that we use in our PC, [...]

Today I received an interesting email from a Gamers World Bangladesh Blog reader. He just had the red ring of death. Here’s his original email:
Hi,
I am one of the few Xbox Live! players in Bangladesh. Anyways to the point, my 360 got that red ring. Now, what should I do?

I have a lot of [...]

Many of us who play Massively-Multiplayer-Online games such as World of Warcraft, City of Heroes/Villains and so on have come across a gold farmer once in a while. These aren’t your average players; many of them are automated bots while some are controlled by real persons, but their main intention is to loot as much [...]

I had lousy experiences with most of the ISPs in Dhaka. The service is unreliable, the speed is at a turtle’s pace and customer service is downright unprofessional. But Sirius Broadband is none of that.
I am currently using the Xpress package for TK1,500 per month and I highly recommend this to any home user. My [...]

 
One of the most important (and often overlooked) component in a gaming rig is it’s power supply unit (PSU). If you have dual graphics cards set up in SLI or Crossfire or a high-end processor, then a good PSU is a must.
IF YOUR PC IS BEHAVING STRANGE
Often, a slow and unresponsive PC is the [...]

Did it ever occur to you? With half the processing power and not even near the graphics quality of the two HD-powerhouses, Xbox 360 and PS3, how did the Wii become such a tremendous success? It isn’t exactly next-generation or output high-definition graphics nor does it (yet) have online multiplayer support. So why does it [...]

What I am saying is this - it is okay to have a few exclusives for the survival of a console - but what about the rest? PGR, MGS, Halo, Gran Turismo, Gears of War and what countless others. Does the list have to be so long?
Is it okay for some games like Gears of War [...]

EA Blackbox has taken NFS ProStreet in a new direction - the right one. The recent NFS series have been sub par at best. While I enjoyed Most Wanted and Underground 2, but I can’t say the same for Carbon.
A couple of trailers have been released. Here’s what I like so far: 
1. The physics engine: [...]

Hardcore gamers, you’re a dying breed. Casual games are blowing up, and it seems like everyone wants in on the action. It’s easy to see why: from free-to-play web-based games like Bejeweled to the Wii minigame collections clogging retail shelves, the genre commands an audience more than 150 million strong, according to a report [...]

I just read the article called “PC PHOBIA - Is the PC dead as a gaming platform” written by the Gaming Wiz a while back. Decided just to add my two cents in. I’ve been playing games for almost the last two decades or so and I can safely claim that “I know what I [...]
