I was talking to a co-writer of this site today, and realised that all of the names that consoles have sound rubbish. They seem less rubbish over time as they’re accepted into everyone’s vocabulary – but when you think about it, they all suck. The latest crop of 7th generation consoles have some pretty stupid [...]
Yeap, you heard me right. Microsoft have truly shown their evil streak by allowing Lockheed to take an innocent Xbox 360 controller, and twist it for use in modern warfare, which could potentially spell the end of the planet.

And it appears that government officials [...]
In a scene that conjures up visions of Terminator, the US Airforce have revealed the new F-35 Joint Strike Fighter’s refueller will be an automatron. Not only is it another job gone by the wayside (which we could do with more of in the current climate) but also it makes the perfect inside job for [...]
