Could not agree more. Even more aggravating is the fact that BF3 has already seen their first DLC pack...

Let's not forget Unreal Tournament, which was designed solely for multiplayer and has been by far the most enjoyed FPS played in my house ever... I would much rather prefer the 1 weapon only system with each weapon actually having a different use. Ah...the good old days of the shock rifle...

I lent BF2 to a buddy of mine, because he heard all the upcoming pub for BF3 (this was weeks ago) and wanted to get a feel for the game before going out and purchasing it. Because I "swapped" my game with him, EA got an additional sale of BF3...but of course, I'm sure that went unnoticed with...

Most "pubs" in the US have a rule stating "no children after 9pm" regardless of who they are with. This is a good rule. Does not BAN the children from the place, just keeps them out when things generally are not kid friendly. I often take my 2 yr old out to just such a place on Saturday...

It wouldn't be the first time the industry crashed either. There was a serious lull in gaming between the good ol' Atari days and the appearance of the NES / Sega Master system. Even those systems didn't really kick the industry back into a higher gear, and you were still able to see quite the...

Yes, all of the aid which America has given out since WWII was for the all mighty oil dollar and had zero human compassion. How naive of me.

I spent a good portion of my childhook living just outside of London during the 70s, so "terrorism" was not new to me, but it sure did seem different when it was against my own country. Perhaps those feelings were because at the time I was younger than I was in 2001. I did not have kids of my...

Glad I wasn't the only one who remembered the DC having that tiny little worthless screen in it's controller.

There is also a deeper, underlying sympathy in killing a zombie. They were, afterall, once human and you are doing them a favor by freeing them of the affliction that has turned them from human to zombie.

Odd, I bought RB3 and didn't have to buy any of the "$600 worth of crap", and I'm still using my original RB1 kit and am only on my 2nd drum pedal. Sure, I don't get the FULL experience of the game, but am enjoying it just as much as I did the first two. I never understood the Viacom...

Ummm...how could you forget Blade Runner? Or Batman: Arkham Asylum. While I don't mind having to go back and redo a mission, I don't need the same cut scenes mocking me for my failure...and eating up precious time to get back into the game.

I can say that my PS2 went off for bigger and better things, having been boxed in my attic since the arrival of the 360. A coworker had stated that he was looking for a game system for his young sons. I told him he could have mine and all of the games (40+) with brand new inbox controllers for...

The joys of child rearing...it does keep us young at heart. Having a 17 year old "Halo"nut and a 2 year old in the house, really gives you a nice perspective on how they each approach "gaming". I spend more time laughing at the 17 yr old when he gets pissed about something in CoD or...

or Sega. I never got into the whole Nintendo scene, being one of the few master system owners, then subsequent Genesis / Sega CD / 32X / Saturn. My real horror came when I had to choose between Sony / MS. It was difficult though, having a son that was also a gamer who demanded the N64 and...

I believe I still have my Saturn in a box in the attic. The wife always questions my packrat nature, but I never throw anything away related to gaming. It's in the same box with my Genesis / Sega CD / 32X (Doom anyone?). We had a Jaguar in our office and played the crap out of Alien v...
