Nintendo has developed a habit of porting older games over to the Switch, but thus far, those first-party ports have mostly been limited to Wii U games. That could be changing at some point in the future, as Nintendo may be planning to bring The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to the Switch. Skyward Sword, of course, was the final … Continue reading
Shortly before Red Dead Redemption 2 launched in October, Rockstar announced that the game’s online component, Red Dead Online, would launch in beta at some point in November. We entered this week wondering if Rockstar would meet that launch window, but even though it’s getting pretty down to the wire, it looks like it will. Today, Rockstar revealed that Red … Continue reading
Passengers on a Boston-bound Amtrak train were stuck for six hours yesterday having only just left Penn Station. They had no reception and they had no power. And no power meant “unflushable” toilets. Amtrak, dauntless, had a compromise for its stalled passengers: taking a dump in a cardboard box.
Update: This deal was supposed to go live at midnight, but we don’t think it ever did. We may see it later on during Cyber Monday, but in the meantime, you can also buy a Switch and get a $35 eShop gift card for free (also on Amazon if you click the Lightning Deal price), or buy one from GameStop, and get a $50…
Twin girls born earlier this month had their DNA altered to prevent them from contracting HIV, according to an Associated Press report. If confirmed, the births would signify the first gene-edited babies in human history—a stunning development that’s sparking an outcry from scientists and ethicists.
Rockstar appears to have given up on a stealth action game it announced over a decade ago. Agent was initially announced as a PlayStation 3 exclusive but it never really materialized in all those years. The PlayStation 4 eventually came out and there was no word on Agent’s future. Now there is, Rockstar has abandoned its trademark on the game.
With Rockstar letting the trademark for this game go, it seems that the publisher no longer wants to hold on to this brand even for use at some point in the future. It’s pretty much a solid confirmation that it gave up on the project first announced for the PlayStation 3 a long time ago.
The US Patent and Trademark Office listing for Agent mentions that it has been abandoned because no Statement of Use or Extension request was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued. Rockstar had briefly named and detailed Agent at E3 2009, saying that it would be a single-player stealth action game that took players across the globe “amid the shadowy world of espionage and assassins in the darkest hours of the 1970s.”
It sounds fun but unfortunately, we’ll never get to experience it. Rockstar did renew the Agent trademark in 2013 which led to speculation that perhaps this project was not dead after all. Its abandonment of the trademark conclusively proves that it wants nothing to do with this game anymore.

Announced in August , the ThinkPad X1 Extreme got a discrete GPU, along with a 15.6-inch display. This is an important inflection point because until now the X1 line of computers was not often considered to be ideal for things such as video editing or even gaming. Starting at 3.76 Lbs. the ThinkPad X1 Extreme is also the lightest 15.6” in its category which includes the MacBook Pro 15 and […]
