This was possibly my most hotly anticipated game of the year, and they somehow found a way to gloriously fuck it up. It's amazing that they somehow managed to surprise everyone with how shit a product this ended up being.

It seems to me that publishers don't push multiplayer because they want everyone to socialize all the time, they do it because it is so much easier to monetize multiplayer than it is to monetize a purely single player game. Single player expansions are more costly, because frankly, they demand...

It's already there - came out December 11th.

To add to Jeffers points - the numbers don't remove outliers when figuring averages, don't account for number of available titles, and most importantly, don't account for number of available reviews. There are also intangibles that aren't considered, such as the "Awe" factor some games...

I think the Miiverse actually makes this a bigger problem now than it has been in the past, because I can now peruse users through the many communities - something not really open to PSN or XBLA users (at this moment - I bet they each have their own version on the next machines). The Miiverse...

I always thought that this was a brilliant way to explain the many different faces of Bond. In my opinion, they should also extend it to M, Q and the others as well.

Irreversible made me more uncomfortable than any other movie I have ever seen. It opens with brutal beating with a fire extinguisher - I swear you can feel every blow - and then climbs to what Bob understates as the brutalization of Bellucci. That scene goes on forever and never looks away...

A review of mine for SoulCalibur V was posted on N4G.com. I ended up giving the game a 3.5/5 for reasons stated in the review. One of the first comments was the following - "Again, more "journalists" completely not getting what the point of a fighting game is and instead whining about story...

Believe it or not $700,000 in terms of profit for a game isn't as great as it sounds. In the example he said that he said that "Even if it only took a team of 12 guys three months..." Let's do some math... Programmers salary for that type of programming get salary ranging from $60K - $100K...

I was hoping someone was going to mention Munch's Oddysee, which was the games actual first foray into 3D. I was disappointed by Stranger's Wrath. It was a mediocre game that got high scores for its originality and art design, but the mechanics left a lot to be desired.

I don't think you have to worry about them doing a reveal. I'm calling bogus on this rumor. If anything you may hear a code name for a new console and perhaps a reveal next year, but even that's not likely. With the graphical jumps being less and less significant and with companies just...

Not that bad yet? Not that bad ever. Let's keep this in perspective. Eleven people DIED in the Deepwater Horizon accident. Businesses that depended on the Gulf (fishermen, tourism, etc..) were severely impacted and some did not survive. Not to mention the extraordinary impact that millions...

In response to the gamers running the industry... I think you are right to a point. We do control the industry, but not because of whining on message boards. Our dollars do the talking. Why does Activision churn out COD year after year? Because our dollars have voted this as the case...

Does anyone else feel like they're back in the 90's? Right now I'm rockin' some Mortal Kombat and in a few months hopefully I'll be blasting space pigs in Duke Nukem. Then, to wrap up the year, I'll be driving around a demented ice cream truck in Twisted Metal. Seriously, I think I just...

You do know that Disney owns Dimension, Miramax, Touchstone and Pixar, right? Add to that Marvel Studios, which would actually be doing the production. Plenty of 'Adult' movies have been made under the Disney banner without your knowledge, so I wouldn't worry about them churning out nothing...
