Lets face it in real life there are penalties for being a bad influence on the community and developing a bad reputation. The police may not get involved but you can bet that you may not be allowed in certain restaurants/stores or people may not trust you based on your past behavior. The...

I agree with Jim, the franchise is made better by both films. Furthermore I disagree that the Marines over the top macho bravado was there to show how little it matter when everything goes horribly wrong. I think it was there to make the marines feel like bad asses and to offer a little comic...

How about we take a few minutes to look at the movies that failed the Benchal Test, all of witch with the exception of 1 or 2 failed not because the female characters where portrayed poorly. They simply failed at either writing a story with engaging characters or simply failed at executing the...

Just curious if the the Escapist News was going to even cover the Sony/PS4 announcements from yesterday? You took the time to report on the Microsoft/Xbox announcements, only seems fair.

It is extremely common to round up in Press Releases/Announcements since those numbers are under constant revision as sales continue even as the announcement is being made. Well it just sounds better to say "We have sold 3 million units!" rather then 2,980,012 units!" We find and sales...

I agree and I hope cryptic does that, They allow you to manage your Neverwinter profession assets in a web-interface. So it would be nice if they allowed even if somewhat limited interface for the Duty Officer System (DOff).

Pretty much this... Sure you will be able to play some or all or your Steam games on your steam system, but with out a clutch title. There is nothing that will make PC gamers Build/Buy a steam box they will just keep going on playing PC games on their PC's. Now the big deal is that this may...

People commonly mistake the differences of Dumbing-down a game and Streamlining a game they are vary different concepts. Making a game mechanics so simple that they lose depth or removing interesting and/or fun but easy to understand mechanics is considered "dumbing-down a game". This is vary...

Or you can get it on Steam and play it on your current game system... http://store.steampowered.com/app/24790/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_1

The problem is that "Casual gamers" has become synonymous with "Bad Gamers", I believe this is wrong and i never ever confuse the two. The history is Casual Gamers and when game developers started seeing them as a viable revenue stream and started developing games with casual gamers in mind...

It would be a direct competitor for SC2, but the reality is that it would still make a crap load of money. If blizzard was only interested in making money I am sure they would make it but given their business practices and development cycles it is vary clear that they know they will make...

This came up about a year ago, the statistics are laughable because it only hours monitored by players using Xfire and have it running while playing said games. There is also a further problem with the Players that are using the 64bit WoW client as it doesn't report statistics at all to Xfire...

I have been using Steam for years now and I have been using ORIGIN since it was launched. Most of the stuff that STEAM sells for 75% off is more then 6months old or older. Most of the sales of a game release are similar to a Movie you make 90% of the sales in the first 6-8 weeks. Offering Things...

Personally I think both systems are stupid, when you can use // (YYYY/MM/DD). When working with large numbers of files/databases that span months or even years using DD/MM/YYYY you end up with crap like 01/02(feb)/2011 comming before 02/01(jan)/2011 or MM/DD/YYYY you end up with 01(jan)/01/2011...

Well lets say your a game developer like Crytec, you have 100 employees on a project everything from Programmers/Animators,IT-Prof and Security Guards... Lets round it out to say on Average they make 150k/year just for argument sakes and it takes 1 year to develop a title. 150,000 x 100 =...
