This quote seems to imply that their reason for changing the aesthetic was because they wanted more violence. Because clearly, color and smooth shapes means no violence is allowed. Just look at Borderlands, or TF2, or Mortal Kombat. Oh no. Wait. So-called cartoony aesthetics actually let you get...

Ohai! Pff, that'll learn me to assume both DLC packs cost the same. $5 makes a lot more sense for this, but it's still a bit odd that they'd have such shallow DLC for what was such a deep game. That said, if they come out with a GOTY edition before I manage to get the game, I'll probably...

Hey Nasrin, congrats on (what I'm pretty sure is) your first editorial piece! Considering how lauded Skyrim was, I'm a little surprised that both DLC packs - each of which cost 1/3rd of the game's price themselves - seem rather subpar. I have to wonder if the development team is feeling...

Understanding what this is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_stress_reaction#Symptoms_of_acute_stress_reaction] and that people cannot always control how they act in stressful situations will make you a better person. Not responding to harassment like a rational, calm person would does not...

Update: Microsoft Finally Admits to Xbox 720 An employee mentions the next Xbox as part of the "new wave" of Microsoft products. It's been over six years since the current console generation started, and the start of the next round is looming. Although Nintendo has been the only company to...

Square Enix Gives Final Fantasy VII to Angry Gamers for Free Early FFVII adopters are miffed after accidentally buying a broken, pre-release build. Square Enix had a bit of a snafu a few days ago when the upcoming PC port of Final Fantasy VII made an unexpected early appearance, becoming...

DayZ Breaks Out of ArmA II The standalone version of DayZ will follow a "Minecraft development model." As a relatively new add-on for military simulation game ArmA II, the DayZ mod has gained a lot of steam since its alpha release a few months ago. The open nature of the zombie-infested...

Whoops, my bad. Thank you for pointing it out (and for doing so politely) - it's been fixed in the OP.

"Imaginativate" is now my new favorite word for "copy 95% of." Zynga, uh... hasn't been doing so awesome [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/118723-Zynga-Share-Price-Crashes], financially speaking. EDIT: While that's a valid concern, keep in mind that if Activision actually...

EA Sues Zynga for Copying The Sims Social EA says its lawsuit over Zynga's The Ville is a "case of principle." Zynga has been no stranger to accusations of copyright infringement - its games often bear a striking resemblance to games by smaller studios, with titles like Dream Heights earning...

Dawnguard Finally Goes Multiplatform Shortly after claiming no official timetable, Bethesda has released Dawnguard on PC. PC and PS3 gamers looking forward to Dawnguard, Skyrim's first expansion, got some bad news late last week. Although Dawnguard had already been released shot down any...

Makes sense, I mean, it's not like they could have just asked her to wear a different costume or told the company that hired her to give her some more clothes. Oh, wait. Seriously, punishing the model just for doing her job? It's not her responsibility to keep track of the con rules and...

Dingdingding. There's no better way to excuse yourself for doing a bad job than to throw up your hands and say "Gee willikers, guys, I'd really like to not make the same boring games over and over again, but my hands are tied until the technology gets better!" This guy can't possibly be...
