Wait, what does that mean? How can they tell unless they're doing digital watermarking?

The shipping 25 million copies is a year was an industry analyst's prediction, not Rockstar or Take Two saying that it needed to ship that many. GTA IV sold around 6 million units in it's first week and make roughly $500 million, which is nearly twice what the development budget cited here is...

I vote Cale's version.

I'm actually kinda relieved. I spent this past summer and fall working 55+ hours a week and ended up buying a bunch of books and games WAAAAAY faster than I could get through them, so more time to work through my backlog is awesome, because at the moment GTA 5, The Last of Us, and Project...

Read everything up through Knife of Dreams a year or two ago. Went to the store to pick up The Gathering Storm and they were out, so I stopped there since I would have to wait anyways. Rereading through it now and I'm pumped because in the intervening time, I've read Sanderson's Mistborn trilogy...

Halo 2 and God of War 2 I nominate as the worst examples of cliffhangers. "Here's the last level...wait, no, we'll just make it into a third game." Of course, both those next games then went and invalidated the main character's noble sacrifice by not letting them die, because then they couldn't...

I read this article yesterday and knew the Skyrim fanboy reaction would be pretty funny. All the people complaining about the multiplayer clearly didn't play Demon's Souls or even read the article to notice that multiplayer is very much non-traditional. The DLC is an interesting point. While...

I only played KOTOR 1 and 2, and the only reason I liked the first better was because it was complete. KOTOR 2 was rushed out to catch the holiday sales surge and it shows. Not only is Malachor V pretty anti-climactic, but the you could see stuff throughout the whole game that had to be cut. But...

I'll add myself to the side of liking that the story felt a lot more personal and character driven. The conversations between your companions felt very real overall, especially the ones with Isabella, which is odd given how one note her character is. The real success of the game for me is...

Jayden fell into the crusher, Madison fell off the bike and got arrested, Ethan got snipered, and Shaun got horribly, horribly traumatized.

The Jak trilogy.

I've been gotten the Slim Jim one about seven or eight times in a row now and I'm wondering if anybody else is upset about the stereotyping in the ad.

Dark Souls...which isn't on here.

I work with the public, so yes. It's practically in the job description.

As the article points out, it's easy to understand why the father would blame video games. Heck, looking at the facts, it's hard to argue that they didn't play a part. But that's the thing, they were only a part of whatever drove this kid's actions. Focusing exclusively on him playing video...
