Robert Ludlum’s best-selling spy novels and blockbuster film adaptations have thrilled millions. Now for the first time, become Jason Bourne, Ludlum’s most famous spy, in an original videogame that takes you deeper than ever before into his world of action and espionage.

When curious fishermen pull your body from Mediterranean Sea you have little clue of how you got there or even who you are. A hidden Swiss bank account number leads you to Zurich where you soon discover that not only does somebody want you dead, but you’re armed with a mysterious mastery of martial arts and marksmanship to fight back.

Firearms, melee weapons, advanced fight techniques and even your surroundings are all at your disposal to weaponize, as you neutralize threats in a seamless blend of infiltration, shooting and hand-to-hand combat. Go deep into the Bourne canon as you hunt down the truth behind your fragmented past and turn the tables on the government agency that made you their number one target.

You are Bourne – hunted, driven and deadly.

Still using a preview version of Windows Vista? Be aware that the operating system will expire on May 31. If you want to keep using the operating system, Microsoft would like you to buy a copy.

The expiration affects participants in Microsoft’s “Customer Preview Program” who are still using a pre-release version of Windows Vista Ultimate, Microsoft said in an e-mailed statement on Tuesday.

“However, we expect most beta users will have moved to a full version of Windows by this time,” Microsoft said.

Those people still on early Vista releases will start to see notifications starting today (April 24). That should give ample time to back up data and migrate their PCs to the final version of Windows Vista, Microsoft said.

“You don’t need to be mad to quest here” yells an increasingly unbalanced Will Porter. “But it helps!”
As job interviews, go it’ll be short and relatively painless. It’s just you, a disinterested chap named Haskill, a bare room, a desk and a chair. After such an imposing entranceway, surrounded by otherworldly vegetation that’s leeched through its tableau of linked screaming faces into the lands of Cyrodiil, you were perhaps expecting something a little more grandiose within.

Then, as the interview concludes, the dull, featureless walls melt away into a cloud of butterflies. And then it happens: you’re somewhere slightly mad.

The setting is the torn realm of the daedric Prince of Madness, one Sheogorath, if you haven’t been keeping tabs on your Elder Scrolls lore. Bethesda’s stated aim is to create a new self-contained land where the characters are more tightly defined, where dialogue is richer and where their quest designers can stretch their imaginative powers to the full, under the broad canopy of the insane, the unstable and the downright psychotic. continue reading…

Nintendo has managed to pack the Wii full of features without creating an exorbitant price tag. For $250, you can snag the console (available only in white at launch, though additional colors are sure to follow at some point), Wii Sports (a compilation of games including tennis, golf, bowling, baseball, and boxing), power and A/V cables, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuk controller, and one remote sensor (for detecting the Remote’s movements). Considering that the fully featured Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 consoles sell for $400 and $600 respectively, Nintendo has made the Wii an attractive option for gamers that don’t wish to break the bank.

Downside: One area where you’ll definitely see the price difference is in visual quality. Unlike the PS3 and the Xbox 360, the Wii will not will not support high-definition output, though the system will offer 480p progressive scan and a wide-screen mode, so it has the potential to look at least as good as a DVD on an HDTV. In addition to the diminished resolution, the Wii won’t have the graphical horsepower that you’ll find under the hood of Microsoft and Sony’s systems. The games we’ve seen so far are closer to the last generation of consoles than the current ones. In fact, the Wii’s flagship launch title, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is being concurrently developed for the GameCube, with the controls–not the graphics–being the major difference between the versions.
