Moviebob, while I respect your opinion and sympathize with your moral objections to celebrating a man who tortured animals for sport, I completely disagree with this video. First of all, animals are not afforded much weight on the morality scale unless you are, say, a practitioner of...

First off, I really like the "luck" system proposed in the article, as well as a handful of examples and ideas in the various comments. That said, I don't think that the idea of regenerating health is inherently bad. It's just been lazy in its implementation so far. Sucking your thumb behind...

Although I haven't thoroughly read the entire forum yet, the bits that I have read have actually been relatively un-flamey. People are at least attempting arguments, which are at least a step in the right direction. As I continue following this thread, we'll see if my tempting fate will go...

To be fair, this is PR masquerading as a panel. Combine that with the fact that rage against Activision and Bobby Kotick is alive and kicking, and you've got yourself a click-worthy story. It might stem from the fact that many readers and even some writers and editors do not understand *why*...

A few people here have pointed out that the studios in question have had layoffs in the not too distant past. Instead of just bashing or defending Activision, let us take a look at the studios that have come to Activision's defense. High Moon Studios: Have 2 decent-ish third person shooters...

This is why I have both consoles. To everyone out there either mourning this non-story or still under the delusion that they game will come out on the PS3 as a boxed trilogy: why on earth would you want these games on the PS3? This isn't to say that they are bad games. On the contrary...

What Eclectic Dreck said. A thousand times what Eclectic Dreck said. LordZ: I honestly don't know how to reply to this. Comparing the practice of in-game advertising and Day 1 DLC to robbery and murder and other "grave sins" simply indicates that you need a new pastime. Badly.

I have heard a lot of analogies to cars being made here, in the sense that, "Car companies aren't entitles to every transaction a car goes through after they sell it. Why should video games be different?" Furthermore, I read on a post that the DLC was like the extras a salesman throws in when...

Geez, you really hate EA don't you? I would say that in terms of the recent Bioware releases, the quality is top notch. If you feel that they are inferior, DON'T BUY THEIR GAMES! In Dragon Age, yes, there is in game advertising for Bioware/EA to hawk their wares and remind you that there...

Oh my goodness. To Shamus Young and everyone complaining about Day One DLC: when did you become so entitled? I agree that the whole, "Oh, content X was not ready for release on Day 1" is a whole lot of marketing bull, but the notion that Dragon Age is punishing you for not buying the game...

Nice article. I enjoyed the Halo 3 ODST bit. God, that game was disappointing. Quick nitpick: who in the chuffing hell is Josh Whedon? Joss Whedon is a brilliant writer whose works never fail to please (and no, the first season of Dollhouse never happened in my little Universe).

Okay, so I have been meaning to get around to playing the sands of time trilogy. I have access to Gamecube, PS2, and Xbox, so which versions of each game is the best? Best graphics? Plays the smoothest? I don't care about extras, I just want to play the most proficient version of each game...
