Price of the Alpha 900
I have been asked by some people about the price of the upcoming Sony Alpha 900 flagship digital SLR camera. The problem is that there is no information filtering down from Sony. The only thing that we can say is that there is a body of indirect evidence that points to some pretty serious competition…

Cryostasis, another FPS from cold Russia
Russia is fast becoming the new national home of FPS game development.
