    The Red Cross Wants Games to Respect The "Rules of War"

    I don't think I'm going to say anything that hasn't been said above me, but games are art. This does bring up a good point that people, including developers may not had thought of in terms of characterization. And it could be interesting in terms of which soldiers are on the straight and...

    Mana Bar Melbourne Closes Its Doors

    I live in Melbourne and went to this bar. I'm not surprised it went out of business. The bar was small, its not really an internet cafe where you can play infinite games with others, and its a bit weird going to a bar to play games. Also, the drinks were all very expensive, which is normal...

    Escapist News Now: Smash Bros. Justifies New Character Choices

    I am super excited about the Wii-Fit Trainer. SSB is about a seriously goofy fight, and the crazy mix is half the goof.

    UPDATED: Pokémon X & Y News (Introducing Fairy Type)

    So like, Dragon has good resistances, and almost nothing resists Dragon. This meant that either you could jump on the bandwagon and use your own dragons, and the dragon-est of the dragons would win. Or you could use something that learns an ice move, but doesn't get STAB, which is a bit flimsy...

    Congressman Seeks New Game Rating Legislation

    It's very simple: the law uses the rule of "Would a normal person be able to see it" when using things like exclusion clauses, rating labels and anything that you'd need to read on something you're buying. This man is not a normal person, is too stupid to find the current labels and is asking...

    President Obama Asks for Research Into Game Violence

    You know what? I'm OK with this. This is what science is about. We don't really know how things work. So we test. And then we test again later to see if it's changed. And later again. And of a 23 step plan, only one of them involves video games, this sounds like a plan that was made with all the...

    Did ME3 ruin Mass Effect for you?

    The only reason I didn't like the ending was because as a fan of the series, I was raised on the details. The characters would talk to you about a lot of things in great detail, there was little info text snippets full of even MORE info. There was info lying around in space waiting to be found...

    Nintendo "Troubled" by Gamers' Demand For Content

    Simple answer Reggie. Stop making games that inhabit the same market as "Just Dance 3" and make the games that the people beg for.

    Researcher Links Media and Violence

    No, just no. I'm Australian, and I am all for criticising video games along with any other medium, so it's a little hard for me to say that this research sounds bulldust. '"Over the long term it's just like eating fatty food," he explained. "One hamburger won't kill you but there is a...

    Protips for "The Binding of Isaac?"

    Just dodge their attacks, and pray that you unlock one of the characters. And no, you have every right to play this game with the full item list wiki in the background, you will NEVER memorise everything.

    Ideas for next Gen Controllers

    In my opinion, the perfect controller will come about when Nintendo spends some serious time an thought figuring out everything that was wrong with the GameCube controller, then updates it. Wireless and token but EXTREMELY non-essential motion controls can come too.
