    Games where Shotguns are useful beyond arms' reach?

    Hotline Miami and, to a much lesser extent, Hotline Miami 2 had shotguns that were useful at any distance. Granted, the games (usually) took place indoors and as such they're much closer quarters, but shotgun sniping was a legit strat.

    Frank Cho Walks off Wonder Woman - Claims Censorship

    The artist was told he has control over the covers. The writer was told he has control over the covers. Put the politics completely aside and you'll see this has nothing to do with political agendas or even censorship. It's about piss-poor management and bad communication.

    Bleach is coming to an end

    I stopped watching somewhere in the middle of the Soul Society stuff. I loved the show in the beginning, when it was like a mix of Ghostbusters, Scooby Doo and Persona 3, but once it got to the Soul Society it just went full on generic shonen manga. I really liked all the characters before...

    Games Where The 'Antagonist/Villian' Wins (Or Was Right)?

    King of Fighters XI. Magaki is killed, but aside from that everything else goes to shit. Elizabeth fails to stop Ash, Iori goes berserk and critically wounds Kyo and Shingo, Ash steals Iori's powers, K' Team and Ikari Team witness the ship carrying Magaki's body get destroyed and the body...

    The Apparent Anti-Intellectualism of Gamer Culture

    I'm also fine with a narrative/thematic discussion, but to use that as the basis for a review for a shooter? That's insanity. Story in a game like this is vestigial at best. Again, if this was a Telltale game or Dragon Age or something else where story is the primary reason for purchase, then...

    The Apparent Anti-Intellectualism of Gamer Culture

    In short, it's because reviewers have time and time shown that they don't care about the games. They've shown that they are completely out of touch with what we, the gaming public, actually want. As a result, we want clinical, bare-bones, just-the-facts, gameplay-only reviews because it's...

    Games that you couldn't wait to quit

    Fist of Jesus I'll do a proper review of this eventually, but as a die hard fan of beat 'em ups, this game is among the worst I've ever played. And I spent a large amount of time playing Beats of Rage mods made by what I assume to be twelve year olds.

    Target Australia will no longer stock GTA5

    Heh, wow. I went through GTAV on the PS3, beginning to end, and don't ever remember picking up a prostitute. Did they make it more of a requirement in the PS4/XB1 versions? This whole thing is completely idiotic regardless, even if prostitution is a requirement. The game has a rating, and the...

    What are you doing this Halloween?

    Halloween is my favorite holiday! ...and I'll be at work all day for it. Sigh.

    Poll: Sexism and Japan

    I honestly feel like Team Ninja doesn't even care about Japan anymore, if we are talking the DoA series. The DoA series hasn't seen an arcade release since DoA2, and I'd say DoA1 and 2 were well before they went overboard with the fan-service and all that. While I didn't spend a whole lot of...
