The two biggest contributers to the site, Blackwalt and Q-Bert (okay the one biggest contributer and some other guy), are going on vacation for the next week. Returning on Saturday the 15th.

Realtime Worlds with developer superstar Dave Jones has moved away from Crackdown 2 and moved on to APB.

All Points Bulletin will be a massively multiplayer online game and action based. I usually avoid MMO games but if this is anything like Crackdown I have already lost my will to resist.

Teamxbox has a three page preview with more information than what I just stole to fill this space.

Well not really. But you'll need an old mouse, some USB cabling and 20 cm of cat5 wiring.

Start with a generic mouse:

Most logitech and clones are built around a 20pin DIP chip surrounded by miscellaneous bits n bytes. Read more
