The world's largest pro tournament for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive remains steeped in controversy, with tournament officials ordering the replay of a quarterfinal match today until one of the sides forfeited.

Fnatic prevailed 16-13 and appeared to move on. The two sides had been playing on Overpass, a map released in December of last year (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive launched in August 2012). LDLC filed a complaint about Fnatic's use of the boosting.

In the midst of all the holiday shopping going all around the world, one item of note will probably be purchased to be given to a number of delighted kids on Christmas morning - that is, the immensely popular Nintendo 3DS (or any of its various iterations) However, according to findings by French health and safety agency, ANSES, children under the age of 6 should not be exposed to stereoscopic 3D images, such as ones the Nintendo 3DS' 3D technology and 3D televisions provide, due to the potential of impairing the health and development of their vision. ANSES states the reasons for this recommendation stems from a particular process in the brain called "vergence-accommodation conflict," that occurs during the brain and visual system's interpreting of stereoscopic 3D images. In most adults, the effects of this conflict manifests as tired eyes or slight headaches, however, for children under six (who are still very much in physiological development), the task of focusing on t...

The games, they are a-changin'.
We thought it was quite poetic that Assassin's Creed Unity, a game about anger, protests and the power of the people, should cause a ragestorm that almost emulated the French Revolution itself, only with much less guillotining and far fewer heads on pikes. At least, in our area of the country.

Amanda French writes: "So many games try to bank on nostalgia these days, and so many have failed or misrepresented themselves, that its understandable to be wary of any new title that promises you the pixelated moon and stars with a healthy helping of hype and some impressive coattail acrobatics.

Their latest game, Lords of Xulima is billed as a 2D isometric turn-based RPG that tips its plumed hat to such titles as Ultima, and Might Magic. It also promises challenging gameplay, over a hundred hours of content, and a broad range of customization for your party of six."
