More news after the break…
It’s been a couple weeks since RAGE made it’s way to iTunes, but there’s still some good articles to check out. Adding to the list of interviews John Carmack’s done in support of the game, Ars Technica caught up with the gaming legend to discuss iOS, making AAA games, and more. And at the conclusion of the interview, you can read the site’s review for the groundbreaking app.
RAGE was also included in VentureBeat’s top ten list of games to check out this holiday season. Meanwhile, Kotaku posted their review for the game on Monday. Check out a snippet of the review, written by Brian Ashcraft, below…
“Yes, the game is short, and sometimes I wanted the on-rails bit to stop for a second, not so I could catch my breath, but so I could look around and admire all the work that went into the game. With Rage HD’s three levels, it’s as though id Software put all its effort into making the most impressive iOS demo ever. Rage HD is deeply impressive, but leaves me wanting more.”
For more on RAGE, check out coverage at USA Today Game Hunters, iTWire, Appolicious, and The Appera. And if more sites come up with clever names using Apple or App, we’ll let ya know.

So when does this new patch come out? Before the dlc or after? also will I be able to play the dlc offline? I found that to be bs in f3 when I didn’t have internet. The fact that a game with no online anything, cant be played without internet when you get the dlc.
It’ll definitely be out before Dead Money hits Xbox Live. As noted, we’re hoping for next week. Dead Money isn’t releasing until 12/21
Come on Gstaff, give us some light, is Dead Money going to be released to PC/PS3 at any time?
gstaff cannot say anything because his superiors decided on stupidly idiotic policy of timed platform exclusives, but of course it will be released on PC/PS3 later, just like all DLCs for Oblivion and Fallout 3 were.
And we will all buy them too, because despite being treated as second class citizens, we just love those games too much.
And the bastards know it.
I still want to know if I can play it without internet.
You can take Steam into offline mode.
