Atari isn’t just stopping updates to NWN.  That would be understandable even with the modest sales it still offers with NWN2 around the corner.
The low blow proffered in the title, though, is their cancelling of all premium content modules.  Premium content modules which cost little to produce and must be reaping a fairly good return.

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally dusted off my writing keyboard and cracked out the first in a weekly series of Linux gaming articles.  First up, I’ve got Triplex Invaders, Maniadrive, and Lost Labyrinth.
If you’re interested in Linux games, PCBurn will be running a couple of game reviews on commercial releases in the near […]

There’s nothing quite like deciding your peltier driven phased cooling kit just doesn’t have enough oomph anymore.  That’s just what this guy over at MadShrimps did, so he decided to rip it apart and make a few modifications for efficiency.
With a little re-engineering his old kit was made new, and now it’s freezing even the […]
