The only thing more pronounced than the hand-wringing over this title was the hope that it would actually live up to its name. We're happy to report that the humor, violence, and open-ended nature of the original games arrived intact. While most $60 games only last eight hours or less, we put 50 hours into the game before writing this review. Come with us to see what we found.

Ars reviews Ubuntu 10.10
Here's a fairly comprehensive review of Ubuntu 10.10 over on Ars Technica. If you're interested in an alternative to a Windows operating system you should give this a look. I still don't see Ubuntu as a viable full-time working environment, but this is about the closest thing to it.

Fallout: New Vegas UK Review
![]()
Here's a link to the IGN.com UK Review of Fallout: New Vegas. It's for the PC version but the console folk should get the idea. Fallout: New Vegas was released today.
I would be playing New Vegas and not just talking about it, except my XBOX fucking red-ringed last night. Oh well, it lasted longer than expected, considering it was salvaged from a garbage can in the dead of winter and dried out with a hair-dryer...but that's a story for another time.
Right now, it's time to buy a new XBOX, I guess.
Broken people, loaded guns: Ars reviews Medal of Honor
![]()
Here's a link to a review of Medal of Honor over on Ars Technica.
MOH was released today.
With Call of Duty: Black Ops just over the horizon, I can't say I'm too excited to play Medal of Honor. Except for the fact that they spell "honour" incorrectly this game looks pretty, but it seems derivative.
I lost whatever interest in this game I had left when EA caved to media pressure and the U.S. military and removed the word "Taliban" from the multiplayer mode of the game. No matter how you want to dress it up this is a GAME, you fucktards. It's no different than playing as a German in any WWII era game or for that matter, playing as Covenant in anything from the Halo franchise.
NO.
FUCKING.
DIFFERENT.
If I even bother playing this one it won't be a title I buy new. This is a "wait for bargain bin" title for me.
