    Fallout: are the roots of classic RP completely extinct?

    Fallout: Tactics isn't bad, but it's different. It's a turn-based RPG that's built on squad-based combat set in the Fallout universe. So you maintain a squad/platoon of soldiers composed of dogs,people, undead, and super-mutants choosing who you want to go into a specific mission based on a...

    No Doubt Sues Activision Over Band Hero

    Is it me or is all this stupid? Activision should have a checkbox on their ____ Hero contracts: "In game avatar will be used solely during in game performances of the above mentioned artists songs _" "In game avatar will be playable during any in game performance _" Seems like a simple fix...

    Chilean PS3 Ad Shows Gamer Giving Blood to Nazi Officer

    I disagree with this statement, the US is extremely everything-ist, not in that the majority of people are racist, sexist, etc. but that anything that can be viewed as one of these things are and therefore we have to prance about so as not to offend everyone. And race is the primary component...

    Bon Jovi Backs Courtney Love Against Guitar Hero 5 Cameos

    They had 3 major albums, 1 live album (their best in my opinion), and one that contained fan-oriented material (radio performances, demos, etc.) and then there were all the random compilations and whatnot after-the-fact. And no, I'm not a Nirvana fanboy, I just grew up in the midst of all this.

    The most useless button in a game.

    Actually there were a few games, Golden Axe comes to mind, that didn't recognize the 6 button controller correctly and rendered the game unplayable unless you actually used the mode button. However, those were far and few between and were generally the very, very early games for the console...

    Bon Jovi Backs Courtney Love Against Guitar Hero 5 Cameos

    The remaining members of Nirvana actually asked for a legitimate compromise: the asked for a patch to lock Kurt to only Nirvana songs. So while being poor form for him to be in the game at all (or even their music for that matter, but not going to fix that) it would at least maintain some...

    Pachter Predicts Problems for Best Buy Pricing Program

    I definitely see Best Buy having to cap the maximum discount, but this will drive the used stores to drop their prices below that. I see that as win-win: new games are now X amount cheaper and the used games are actually down to a reasonable price. Unfortunately I think Game Crazy/Stop will...

    360 or Wii?

    I would argue that RE4 and Okami are more immersive than their non-Wii counterparts. As long as you go with games that utilize the motion controls to enhance games as opposed to shoehorning the controls into a game, it works really well.

    360 or Wii?

    I think the big question is do you want to play games (360) or have a load of fun (Wii). Obviously these aren't mutually exclusive as there are plenty of games on the Wii that are deep and immersive, and obviously playing immersive games is fun but a different kind of fun. So basically...

    id Says Rage on 360 Runs Faster Than PS3, Brings the Ruckus

    I apologize if anyone has brought this up, but after reading the first page of comments I didn't expect what was said to really change. I would like to preface this with the fact that I am a programmer and a highly educated programmer at that, but that's completely irrelevant beyond letting you...

    New Aliens vs. Predator Trailer Makes You a Marine

    I know this is early footage, but I'm a bit concerned that the exploding aliens didn't seem to cause damage given they were all so close. If they got rid of the acid blood damage, it'll turn into just another shooter that's nothing more than run and gun... at least on the marine side. Have...

    Activision Unveils DJ Hero Renegade Edition

    This may just be my ignorance regarding mixing/DJing, but is there any realism to this? To me it doesn't seem like 3 buttons on the table have a realistic analog. I
