    Xbox One Backlash Was "Unfair," Molyneux Says

    You're assumption is that you had ownership in the first place. The problem here stems from the fact that for many years ownership was simply assumed to be absolute; when the reality is that you have never 'owned' the Hardware or Software. In-fact sit down with the EULA that comes with them...

    Why is canon so important to everyone?

    Canon is suppose to be the writing anchour in the perfect storm of ideas, that keep a story rooted while it is expanded. There are however some issues at play when you consider stuff to be "Canon"... A ? The assumption that the writers themselves are working from a /Canon Bible/ effectively...

    Can Americans Make Anime?

    You know I wrote an epically long post about the fact that really Animé simply means Animation; and that the term was in-fact a borrowed on from European Distributors that the Japanese use due to not having native word for Cartoons as we do in English. I mean to me Animé will always describe...

    Battlefield 3 Update Includes Paid "Shortcuts"

    While I have BF3 on Xbox 360, the fact that this was only done for PS3 and not the other two platforms makes me think that perhaps PlayStation owners don't really give a toss about Battlefield 3. Personally with the exception of that god damn USAS with Frag Rounds; it is a fairly "solid"...

    Games that ramped up difficulty and dang near destroyed the experience

    Personally I didn't find Final Fantasy XII that difficult, make sure you use the right team against each boss; keep updating your macros... for the most part the battles would play themselves out until you could use the specials, which if you were quick enough could be chained to do ridiculous...

    Blizzard Surprised by Reaction to Online-Only Diablo 3

    I don't understand why so many people are so amped whenever a company releases a title, that requires a persistant internet connection. Especially today with high-speed always-on broadband being the standard. People can cite how they might want to play on their Notebooks or loose Internet...

    Microsoft: We're Not Using Kinect to Target Our Ads

    Play Uno or Uno Rush sometime honestly has happened more than a few times with people on their Live Vision Cameras, has bloody scarred me! "Hey dude let's play a game of Uno... Oh look someone joined, wait, why the hell are we looking at his... why is he.. ARRGH, DASHBOARD, DASHBOARD!!!"...

    Latest Xbox Dashboard Update Makes Pirates Sad

    Alright few things I saw in this thread that need cleaning up... The End-User License Agreement is a legally binding contract, if you don't read it; then well tough as ignorance of the terms you have agreed to is not a valid case in court. The Anti-Piracy Enhancements, which while could be...

    So DRM doesn't stop piracy... what do you think developers should do instead?

    You can say what you want about the games produced, but honestly Halo Wars is by far the best RTS on any console; due to it's controllability and one of the few RTS which actually still keeps many of the traditional mechanics which are being so brutally stripped by industry right now. You have...

    So DRM doesn't stop piracy... what do you think developers should do instead?

    There is nothing that can be done to prevent piracy, with the current generation of Anti-Piracy methods actually causing legitimate users to be unable to play a title that pirates are capable of playing; DRM is actually becoming a counter-productive methodology. Something for many to bare in...

    Poll: How long should a game be?

    Games have recently been getting shorter on-the-whole, which to me is quite disappointing. Not so much because of feeling ripped off but simply because they're not keeping me as entertained as long especially those titles that the multiplayer doesn't offer anything that keeps me more...

    On Sequels

    I'd say that sure generally speaking sequels tend end up being worse than the original of a title, this is true even between Secret of Monkey Island and Monkey Island 2; both of which developed by the exact same team. However you flip to that other Lucasart favourite Manic Mansion and...

    Poll: PS3 Slim: Ranting and Raving

    To be perfectly honest, I reckon the real reason being the total drop of PS2 compatibility is because they're still selling a decent number of PS2 consoles (hell they still out-perform everything but the Wii most months) Ironic really that from the start the PS2 has been what has financed the...

    Xbox 360's Death Rate is 54.2%

    oh how your logic fails with Big Blue. this is simple because the Wii, the PS3, the 360, the Gamecube ALL have IBM manufactured processors in them also discounting the fact that they also made the MAC chips for a long time, also discounting the fact that IBM made chips also populate MANY...
