So I've come across this in the past, having both a Vita and a PS3. There are certain PSP and PS1 games that can be played on the Vita, but only by downloading them on the PS3 and then transferring them over. They never used to actually appear on the Vita PS Store, only on the PS3 PS Store. This...

I don't have a preference for either, but if it's an independent reviewer on say YouTube I do have some qualifiers. I like to see that they're experienced, that they have actually written a conscise and organised script, and that they can and will edit the video rather than leave it as a long...

Probably Pokemon. A wealth of systems, utterly and completely customizable strategies and builds allowing for huge creativity, none of that "bosses can't have status inflictions" stuff, varied moves and abilities, all wrapped around a simple rock paper scissors style base game. I only wish the...

I'm not defending or attacking anyone here, but Nintendo was probably singled out because they actually made an official announcement. Plenty of people aren't going to Pax, but haven't officially stated that yet, it was simply inferred by a Neogaf poster. Most of the companies listed haven't...

Can't fault him for it. Ok maybe a little. But his heart is in exactly the right place. He has so much enthusiasm for his work and is constantly striving to be better. He might not always succeed but he is aware of his own pitfalls and it's clear he has much passion for the art of games and...

Oh I get it, because telling people not to tell racist or wear culture appropriating costumes or be bigots is truly equivalent to white nationalism and racism against people of color, right? We can make that kind of witty observation now that we're post racism, am I right? Badum tss!

Those character designs... what? Amy and tails seem relatively unchanged but Jesus! Sonic and Knuckles are so creepily tall now. It looks like I'm looking at a human wearing a Sonic costume now, rather than the actual character. And Knuckles is massive now? I guess it'll be interesting to see...

The idea of needing a dedicated headset might be obsolete now that the PS4 finally has 3.5 mm jack output right on the controller. The Vita and PC also have them, making the PS3 the only possible need for something like this. Also the whole custom audio modes thing was done with their...

I'm gonna agree with the notion that this is pretty dumb and shortsighted. This is a game designed for multiple players, and yet they're only releasing it for a miniscule period of time, in a tiny location, thus assuring beyond shadow of a doubt that it's going to be incredibly difficult to find...

GTA V. I didn't really feel comfortable supporting the weirdly hateful position it introduces on transgender people. However I did want to play it eventually, so I picked it up used. Pretty impressive game mechanics wise, but I found the narrative elements meh.

The more I play it, the more I like it. To be fair, the story is all, and I mean ALL over the goddamn place. But I think that's part of why I like it. Huge characters and arcs are often dropped within hours of introduction. The ending and the antagonists motivations still make no sense to me...

I don't/can't respect it. Adding online play doesn't remove the ability to play locally. You can still get the complete "NES" experience if you want to. Or, if you choose live in the present, you can play multiplayer with friends across the world. I can completely understand not including...

Meh. I can't get excited for this. As some have noted already at CES, the streaming noticeably degrades the quality and makes the controls lag, and obviously the requiring of an internet connection - and a good one at that - is a negative when compared with running the games on a real...

I'd say play them in release order because game features are typically additive, so if you play a newer release first, you might end up missing certain mechanics when you get to past releases, especially when it comes to the MSX releases. The stories are connected, but self-contained enough...

I don't really get this comic. The point is a bit muddled to me. It kinda seems like it's implying 90's games journalism was good for pandering and handing out 10's all over the place. Then it seems to criticize modern games journalism for considering social issues, but haven't the writers of...
