I am pretty sure that recent patches to W101 added in additional functionality to cut down on the need to use the touch pad or the second screen. Screen In Screen for the interior sections for example. Made the game a lot more enjoyable for me and means that a Switch Port is likely not as...

Even Warframe is making a slow crawl to replace P2P Hosting with Dedicated Servers for everyone. P2P Hosting on games that are primarily Multiplayer is an embarrassment. P2P Multiplayer is asking for a massive host of problems, from problems with lag and latency to outright hacking and...

I think the purpose of Bloodbloom isn't to put into your deck, it's to get through cross class discovery and card generation mechanics. That is, it's not a warlock card for warlocks to use. It's a warlock card for mages or priests to use to be able to spend 2 mana to cast a spell with their...

There is a compelling argument for Fair Use on Lets Plays though. Competitive Chess has been a tinder box overflowing with claims, suits, and attempts to lock down or control what is broadcast from the matches. Originally it started with the company that owned the chess board claiming a...

This is them planning a situation of false scarcity. Getting the initial launch of it to push the impression of the object being rare, when the next larger batch hits the store shelves the consumer base will not think twice about purchasing it outright. It creates a pressure on the consumer...

I can see a few reasons why withholding information on the Nintendo Switch could be a good business move by Nintendo. First being that the Mini-NES is Nintendo's single champion in this years Holiday Sales Royal Rumble. Withholding information about the Switch across the board until next...

Scratching from the business end shows a number of good signs in the stars. At the very least they are attempting to shore themselves up to their strengths and replicate the success of the Wii adoption and profits. Only time will tell, I am hopeful though.

I am surprised that a lone budget price indie release has gotten this length of post launch support. Kudos to Renaud Bedard for carrying on this long.

Right now, the 3DS is a pretty powerful unit for it's size- the biggest hangups for the blocky look that often appears in it's 3D games is the 3D setting itself, it has to be designed to be able to double it's rendering load per frame without tanking the framerate to unacceptable levels. Which...

If you could check your ping on the "Assemble Your Team" screen then that wouldn't be a problem. Either way, an XP penalty won't keep habitual leavers from leaving mid match. If in addition this put people into a Low Priority queue then that might be something to talk about- but Blizzard...

Moving outside of the comfort zone in terms of setting for a large demographic of sales wouldn't move the needle much, if at all negatively for large brands with a strong following like CoD. The majority of those that would be upset about the game would still buy it for the gameplay experience...

Bingo. Got super excited when the article said North America, only to find out that it was USA only- Canada wasn't included.

For those pointing out that 3rd party development jumped ship because of the Wii-U's lower power, that's not it. 3rd parties really don't care all that much about the power behind a system, there are a lot of tricks for downgrading a game to run on weaker hardware and that would have been done...

It may be the overall focus of Dark Souls from the perceptive of the player, but that is because the setting is with a very rich history and the events of the game are rolling along the momentum of actions that set it all in motion before the character you play as even existed. It is very much...

Let's wait until after April 1st to see if this is still up. April 1st is the worst day to publish legitimate news.
