The folks at IGN received a request to have an interview and reveal of the upcoming MechWarrior title. Smith and Tinker is the studio that is currently looking for a publisher to back the game. They are planning on it releasing on the XBox 360 and PC. The interview alluded to a possible 4 player co-op and a Call of Duty 4 like multiplayer experience. Apparently the guys noticed the popularity of the COD 4 multiplayer and are hoping the bring that to the MechWarrior title.

This is not the Mechassault that MS pushed out in the past. This is full blown MechWarrior, from the good old days of PC. Personally, I can't wait for this title. Hopefully, it'll provide the full customization that was in the original games. Oh, and heat management is a must. Overheating equals shutting down, which usually equals instant death.

Given that I just posted a new article about the upcoming Windows 7 Release Candidate, I thought it fitting to provide some generalized discussion about an alternative operating system, Linux. Rather than always choosing the main stream OS, some people like to venture out into the wild a bit and give a distribution of Linux a whirl.

I've tried to capture my limited experience with Linux and provide some alternatives to the main stream operating systems, Windows and Mac OSX, as well as alternatives to Office, and provide information about gaming on the Linux OS. There's a ton more that can be found by searching the web.

I've only tried Ubuntu 7.04, 8.04, 8.10 and 9.04 as well as Kubuntu 9.04 and I've liked the progress shown in each build. Linux is a viable alternative to Windows or Mac OSX if given the opportunity. It would be even better if the main stream software companies would provide native support for their productivity software and games. There are several distributions of Linux available, so there's probably one that'll fit your needs.

Please take the time to read the discussion about a FREE alternative to the Windows and Mac operating system, Linux. You never know, you might just be compelled to try it.

I know this isn't really gaming news but with all the hype behind the next realease of Windows 7 I figured it was front page worthy. Microsoft has released that the official public download date for W7 will be May 5th via the Windows 7 home page. Users of the MSDN site will be able to download the RC on April 30th.

Take some time to add your thoughts on the upcoming release of the Windows 7 RC in the technical help section of the forums.
