Dmitry Itskov Wants To Live Forever. (He Wants You To Live Forever, Too.)
At the Global Future 2045 conference (GF2045) in New York City on June 15-16, 2013, emcee Philippe van Nedervelde said, “It used to be that the only sure things are death and taxes. Soon, it will just be taxes. And if we get to live and prosper forever, perhaps even taxes will one day go the way of the Dodo too.” His statement was met with laughter.

Holy Knockout, Batman! A Hands-On Look At ‘Batman: Arkham Origins’
With more gadgets than the Inspector and more moves than Jagger, Batman the comic book character has translated brilliantly into Batman the videogame character. The 2009 game, Batman: Arkham Asylum (which sold 4.3 million units), and its 2011 sequel, Batman: Arkham City (which sold over 6 million units) have proved that developer Rocksteady Studios’ take on Batman is a popular success. From my demo at E3, it looks that if the upcoming game, Batman: Arkham Origins, will provide even more bat-adventure.
The Best (And Worst) Of E3 2013
The Electronic Entertainment Expo of 2013 brought a convention-full of excitement, and it wasn’t just the reveal of the PlayStation 4 plus more details about the Xbox One. 48,200 attendees (up from 45,700 in 2012), myself included, had a look at the future of fun as E3 showcased the videogames that we’ll be playing in the coming months.
A Hands-On Look At ‘Rain’ For The PS3
I could tell I was going to enjoy Rain just by the loading screen. It was painted with—wait for it—watercolors. With gentle humor like that, I could see that Rain is the antidote to games with too much sound and fury. Although I saw some great games at E3, none were as quiet as Rain, the upcoming game by SCE Japan Studio. It’s an adventure, but one whose soundscape is filled with the patter of raindrops, not the thunder of bullets.
And The Winner Of The PlayStation 4/Xbox One Console Wars Is…The PC?
“X-Box One: Because that’s how many we’re gonna sell,” gamer Paul Sposato wrote on his Facebook page when he saw the Microsoft and Sony announcements at E3. Sposato is an Xbox enthusiast, an Xbox loyalist. But after last night’s presentations, he does not plan on buying the new-generation console, Xbox One.
