    Facebook Embraces Online Gambling

    I try not to be mean, but that second paragraph has one giant overly comma'ed sentence. That's just not right.

    Laid Off Dev Accuses Codemasters Of "Unlawful" Conditions

    Just to let you know, that's entirely not how it works anywhere in the US. Finders keepers has very little legal weight.

    Australian Attorney General Calls For Violent Videogame Ban

    I hear that you can use MS Paint to draw pictures of bad things. We should ban MS Paint.

    What Your Archmage Build Says About You

    Very nice. My only worry is that I often like to play games against my style consciously - I'm always light side the first time, but then I like to be dark, I play mate, then fighter, etc. Figuring out what stays the same (I read e dry single conversation branch, for instance ) would be handy...

    Apple Voted Largest Influence On Gaming Industry

    Devil's Advocate: iPhone, Wii and Facebook made gamers out of our moms, aunts, grandfathers, and jocks. Angry Birds has 500 million downloads. For *us* those people had minimal impact, but to Joe and Jill on the street, Miyamoto is a guy nerds talk about if they even know the name. I wonder...

    Battlefield 3 Devs Are All About The Review Scores

    So, is this why Jim Sterling and Rock, Paper, Shotgun didn't get review copies early? Not because EA thinks the game isn't good, but they expected that their scores would be lower than the expected result? If Metacritic was based on a standard deviation ranking across individual critics...

    I would just love to see EA get screwed by that stupid Dead Space 2 ad campaign.

    Transmogrify Your Armor in WoW

    Caveat: I've played WoW off and on since beta and as recently as two months ago. I enjoy the game, and still buy everything blizzard makes. Good job finally including this. Horrible implementation. LoTRo, WAR, SWG have all implemented appearance tabs in some way. All are better. This is a big...

    Rage Cuts Single-Player When You Buy It Used

    My view: companies have been doing DRM since the beginning. I'll take this over Ubisodt, Origin, or the like. You still get the game. If you want you cannot buy the extea bit. You don't have to spin some damn code wheel each time you play. Would I rather have none of the above? Sure. But this...

    GameFly is Going to Try its Hand at Digital Distribution

    I've been hoping this would happen. I missed Gametap too. I am 1000% behind this.

    Microsoft: We Lost Our Way With Recent Halo Games

    I'm also on the "ODST and Reach were great games" boat. I understand MC is iconic, and a badass, and I don't dislike him. But I don't think you need to make 7 games just featuring him. 3 was fine. Put him in 4, sure. Play as him some, sure. But saying "ODST and Reach were bad because they...

    WoW Goes Free Forever (Except Not)

    Possibly mentioned, but Warhammer did this a year ago, as well as Anarchy Online from way back.

    Rep. Joe Baca Rails Against Supreme Court Decision

    Hopefully Augmented Reality games will pick up soon so people can have a new thing to fear.
