No, not the game, only the internet site for now. But if they decided to get it up and running, the game release can't be far behind.

There, you'll find a trailer and some high resolution screenshots. The pictures may take some time to display because they're big. Don't trust the viewer if you use a low screen resolution, it'll resize them so they fit, but it'll take the same time than what you'd need to download them, so you're better off just doing that.

Another problem you'll likely meet is sheer connection loss, which is not surprising if we think how much time the game's been in developement and how many people is there trying to get some information. The misery of it all is that you won't find any information for the moment.

If you want to get a taste of what the game'll look like, be patient and go watch. If you wanted information, continue waiting. At least now there's a place where you can expect it.

Even before it reached stores, Windows Vista faced tons of critics, fears or just plain animosities. As with any new OS from Microsoft, there were all kinds of questions regarding it's compatibility, security and performance. With time, some of those concerns were, are or will be dismissed.

The point of compatibility seems moot, as the majority of commercial applications will sooner, rather than later, upgrade. Device compatibility is up to manufacturers. In the end, it will be a time and money issue.

Security, like any Windows version before is debatable.

Performance... that's it's Achilles heel. It looks like all that can be expected is for the new OS not to fall far behind Windows XP. While 2D apps hold their ground, games are another world: one that's dominated by the old brother. DirectX games are closing the gap with every new driver release, but what about OpenGL based games? For a long time it was tought that playing them on Windows Vista would be horrible, but Beyond3D took time to explain what all the confusion was about and added some benchmarks to polish it all.

GT HD is supposed to be a taste test of what is to come from GT on PS3 and it successfully does this but it's not going to last you more than a few hours. On offer is one track and ten cars with only one car available initially, where as more become unlocked as you beat the various track records with each car. Generally, even without the driving aids on, you will unlock most cars within one lap of the circuit and then it just becomes a piece of software to show your PS3 off to mates.

TTGamer have posted a review on Gran Turismo HD for the PS3. This free download for the PS3 gives gamers a sneak peak at what's to come with GT on the PS3, but is it worth the trouble?

The good news is, Microsoft (more specifically the ACES team), has heard the moans and groans and are actually doing something about it! In what is a rare move for Microsoft's flight simmulations division, a significant patch, known as FSX SP1, is currently in beta. With a scheduled release date of April 30th (yes...this year), SP1 promises to bring about some significant improvements in the way graphics and CPUs, especially multi-core CPU's, handle FSX. As a beta tester, under a NDA, I can't say much, but I will say that the improvements are significant enough to allow me to load and run FSX with believability on my two year old laptop sporting an Intel Centrino and ATI X700...something I couldn't do before the SP1 beta.

Bottom line, anybody with a pc or laptop with decent gadgets from the past two years ought to be able to fly Microsoft's latest, greatest simulator with a whole lot more thrills than spills. Keep up to date at www.fsinsider.com

If you ever wondered why the Internet was created, this WOW movie might just clear a few things up. The internet is for porn! Watch out for the catchy tune - you'll be humming it for weeks.

If you can't decide whether to buy a Sony Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii, this advert might just help you make up your mind. Apple and Nintendo recently merged their marketing departments and so far we are very impressed with the results. We've already decided which one we'd like to take home and it rhymes with pee. How about you - Wii or PS3 girl? And if anybody knows who the Wii girl is or if you have her cellphone number, please let us know.

As strange as it may sound, the people at Phoronix have assembled a system were Microsoft Windows (both XP and Vista) gets wiped out by Fedora Core 6.

Granted, the use integrated graphics doesn't exploit the full potential of this title, but both the Linux version as well as the Windows-on-Linux one (with Cedega) take quite a lead.

It's only one game, it's not DirectX (the main goal behind Cedega) and this emulator it's not open source or even free. Nevertheless, I would keep an eye on this program if I were you. Maybe sooner than later professional gamers will need to install a Linux distribution on their machines to be at the top of the performance curve.

Add to that the option of running a 3D game inside a window and we're talking about a lot of possibilities.

Is Linux gaming around the corner?
