The internet has not yet had time to calm down from raging over the Mass Effect 3 DLC controversy, and yet there is news of another. There’s another little game that released on the same day as ME3, called Street Fighter X Tekken, that has its own DLC issues, and the internet collectively gives the [...]
Not too long ago, I mentioned that gamers are very good at voting with their dollars, and that game publishers are very good at paying attention to the election results. We really, really dislike blatant cash grabs, but will rarely do anything about them other than whine on the internet–especially if those cash grabs are [...]
Mass Effect 3 is what happens when developers and publishers sell out. The game was destined to be a platinum seller based on its compelling narrative alone. We are all heavily invested in the Commander Shepard that we’ve created over the course of two games, and we’re dying to see how the story comes to [...]
If you want to get MMO players into a nerd rage, call whatever game they’re playing a WoW clone. I mentioned this during a recent play session of Star Wars The Old Republic, and the responses ranged from straight denial to a defensive chorus of “WoW copied Warhammer” chants.

Any PC gamer will be more than happy to proclaim the superiority of the keyboard-and-mouse control scheme to anyone who will listen.

My complimentary 30 days are up in Star Wars The Old Republic, and I’m still willing to give EA/Bioware money to keep playing it. That pretty much sums up what I think of the game. But if it’s a good fit for me, does that mean it’s a good fit for you as well? That’s [...]
If you’re into gaming at all you’ve probably heard that Sony has a new handheld system coming out, the PS Vita. But that’s probably ALL you know. Seriously, I had to look up the release date just now (February 22nd). No advertising, no promotions, nothing from Sony themselves about this thing has made its way [...]
This topic really doesn’t need much of an introduction, and besides that I don’t really feel like writing one, so let’s get right to the point. First of all, if you want to stop piracy, it helps to understand why people pirate media in the first place.
So, this is something new that I’m trying. If I have something to say, speak on, preach, bitch, whine, moan, whatever… I’ll just start writing it here. Maybe someone will read it, maybe they won’t… but more importantly, I won’t have to worry about the mandates of blogging on some other website. I can say [...]
