    The Apparent Anti-Intellectualism of Gamer Culture

    Yeah, stellar review right there. I really came away with a greater understanding of the game. I've played the game for over 20 hours, and there are many things which this writer lies about or just fails to understand. Your job as a Division agent is not to "kill the poor looters trying to...

    Alien: Isolation Review - Structural Perfection

    I can't be more excited for this. I didn't have any expectations, and I've deliberately kept it off my radar until now - but it looks good, damn good. Even some things that Jim pans, like the save point system coined as "archaic", I think are critical features. As he said in the review...

    Jimquisition: Rise Of The Exclusivity Wars

    Ben Kuchera's article on Polygon is anti-consumerist corporate dick sucking garbage. Not altogether shocking, just to be expected in this glorious New World of video gaming.

    Predictions on 7th Generation Console's lifecycle?

    Most publishers will have cycled out most of their franchises and investment in 2 years. In 3 years, most titles will have been released on X1/PS4 than last-gen. It will be within 1 year that all the first party titles break ground, and publishers follow their example. 1st party titles include...

    Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Reportedly Just Two Hours Long

    There is already a precedent for this sort of thing from Japan - for titles like Gran Turismo, and Final Fantasy. "Gran Turismo 5 Prologue" e.g. Just a glorified expensive demo, it's reserved for highly anticipated games from Japan, marketed towards "fans" and people with no patience and the...

    Update: Fan "Fixes" Mass Effect 3 Ending With A 539-Page Rewrite

    I've still held on to the theory that Shepard was just indoctrinated. It makes the most sense, really. The decisions in the end were an internal struggle within Shepard's mind. This is further bolstered by the split-second scene where Shepard is seen taking a breath in rubble. In further...

    Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition Review - Tressed Up

    I think her new look is really awful. Not sure why that needed changing. Her original appearance evoked an intensity for perseverance and intelligence. Now she looks more like a bewildered doll. In motion her facial animations look like they belong in a Disney cartoon. The original was...

    Anti-Rape underwear

    It's the same with molestation and sexual assault against minors. It's always a relative or some community pillar associated with the child's activities.

    Zero Punctuation: Killzone: Shadow Fall

    Wait until March - April. Mid-March is basically one of the biggest game seasons in recent memory. When it starts anyway, will be a huge momentum all the way toward the end of the year. March 18th being a specific date for many multi-plat releases. A few outliers in February too, like Thief.

    X Rebirth Launch Trailer Takes to the Stars

    I'll check out initial reviews before I get this.. Really looking forward to this being any good. The X series is interesting - virtually the only franchise delivering a space sim. I just couldn't get into the older ones because they're stale, with hardly any motivation to do anything...

    Sony Wants You to Test EverQuest Next Landmark, But It'll Cost You

    This isn't that controversial. "testing" is more akin to "early access", because that's all random people on the internet do when they get into open or closed betas. They hardly participate in testing the game, they'd just rather play it. If you don't want to pay, I mean you can just wait...

    Jim Sterling Leaves Destructoid (UPDATE: Jim Joins The Escapist!)

    His reviews were all over the place on Destructoid. He was routinely famous for having the absolutely lowest review "score" for current games, but then he'd give something like Call of Duty almost a perfect score. For instance, his latest review, Batman: Arkham Origins was given below a 5, and...

    Far Cry 3 and Uplay, is Uplay bad enough to avoid a sale on it?

    It's simply an annoyance. The worst thing about Uplay for me, is that the game doesn't have Steamworks integrated into it - so many features I love are simply missing. Like Steam achievements for one..

    Rapper Outrage: GTA V Stole My Beats, Cease And Desist

    I don't believe this at all, Rockstar wouldn't let this happen. What is more likely is that the musician is about to find out he doesn't even own the song, and the record label he did business with owns all rights to it.

    Is it ok to kill spiders?

    Killing something instantly the moment you see it is a very childish and reptilian thing to do (read: reptilian portion of the human brain). It's kind of ignorant, and you should probably exercise more control over your own emotions and brain. I mean this is really important for a human being...
