More Reviews

REVIEWS Just Cause 3 Review
This game tries to one-up it's predecessor in every way, but does poor engine optimization make it crash and burn?

Bloodborne: The Old Hunters Review
The first and probably only DLC for Bloodborne is appropriately hard as hell, but also a mixed bag of old and new.

Windows 10 Review for Dummies

After all these years, and growing up with Windows 3.1, I have seen an entire evolution of computers and software. Touch screens and large resolutions were a pipe dream just 15 years ago. Now it's the norm. Going from a Packard Bell (yes, before HP) that couldn't run 3D Ultra Mini...

DAILY MANIFESTO Windows 10 Can Remove Pirated Games and Hardware Posted on Monday, August 17 @ 16:00:00 PST by Nicholas Tan It's with a worrying tilt of the eyebrow that Microsoft's End User License Agreement on Windows 10 (it's not really a recent change) allows Microsoft to disable pirate games and hardware from your component. As noticed by Alphr, Section 7b entitled "Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms," Microsoft "may automatically check your version of the software and download software update or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices." But let's not overreact here. "Unauthorized hardware peripheral devices" is meant to target hacking devices and ostensibly Xbox controllers with an illegal Turbo function, but negatively, this can also target Xbox controllers that have been modded for, well, whatever reason you wish. The language might also mean that it can disable pirated copies of Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, though the "Services" it mentions is meant to cover Xbox Live, and Xbox and Windows Games by Microsoft. Having this kind of DRM embedded in Windows 10 will likely irritate users who feel that this policy is too invasive or at least potentially so. This policy is supposed to limit piracy for Windows Store games and Xbox One games, which is understandable, but WIndows 10 users don't have to be happy about it.
