Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Jan 27, 2011 5:00pm PSTAfter playing through Dead Space 2 this week in just a few meaty sittings, I'm beginning to wonder if being on-edge for extended periods contributes to any measurable health risks. Someone should do a study.
In other news, the Internets are abuzz with the a ton of details about Sony's "Next Generation Portable." Well, everything except for the price, that is. Looks like we may have to wait until E3 for standard price-points for both the NGP's hardware and software. That said, if the retailer-proposed pricing for Nintendo's 3DS and its software is an indication of where the cost of portable gaming is headed, the gap between the cost of gaming on traditional consoles or PCs and the cost of playing on hand-helds is becoming more and more negligible.
I've personally never been much for gaming on hand-helds, but I do find the future prospects pretty compelling, though potentially quite pricey. What do you think of the narrowing cost and technology gaps between "on the couch" and "on the go" gaming?
And here's some funny:
Microsoft may phase out 'Live Arcade' designation on Xbox One
Xbox One won't allow indies to self-publish games
Microsoft won't cater to 'traditional desktop PC gamers' with first-party strategy
Kinect for Xbox One coming to PC
Xbox One does not provide any built-in DVR capabilities



recommend me some "must read" books that are easy/fast to read.
I've been catching up on a lot of classics that I never read but found that they're freaking boring(moby dick, frankenstein, dracula, etc) so I looked for lighter books and I am churning through them(the alchemist, animal farm, a study in scarlet).
What do you have in mind? It's not that I dislike longer, slower-paced books just that I want to get through a lot of books faster.
