He is okay, his action scenes are pretty fun and I really love his tech designs and special effects. My big problem with him is his writing, mostly in that he lets his politics get in the way of logic. The best example is the ending of Elysium. Spoilers for Elysium follow. The end of...

That analogy is off since neither of them took actually took the actions described while Robespierre did have thousands of people executed. A better example would be to have a game that had Andrew Jackson as the villain as he is a somewhat popular American President who did have thousands of...

It sounds like they plan on using bodies from graves so they may be collecting personalties to animate those bodies. Episode was pretty good over all and I can't wait for next weeks.

Simple answer to that question the people in power were bribed at one point to make it legal. More realistically it is impossible to set up government that won't be run on bribery, making it legal allows for there to be regulations in the form of limits to the amount of money one is allowed...

Does anyone else feel that people are overreacting to the copyright charges when they are quite minor compared to the money laundering charges? Honestly the copyright charges feel like a throw in with the money laundering charges, like something to get rid of for plea deals, not the other way...

You know this is probably a good thing overall as long as the bill is still in some form of limbo, as opposed to strait up being dead, an organized opposition to it will remain and no one will be able to sneak through a similar bill while the opposition is getting itself organized (like what...

You (along with everyone else) are misunderstanding what it means for a bill to be marked up. It means that they are taking Obama's threat seriously and are attempting to rewrite the bill in such a way that they can either get a super majority and overwrite any veto attempt or in such a way...

Yep the Triad is the Chinese Mafia Yep the Triad is the Chinese Mafia

That's the point with this ruling games are being treated the same as films, no governmental oversight just industry self-regulation.

I was watching the conspiracy theories episode of The Big Picture and MovieBob made a comment that bothered me when he stated that Bush was an idiot. I haven't actually ever commented my opinion on this topic before but I thought I would give it a try. My argument is going to center on his...

So you have people to eat for health and recreation. OT Considering Prototypes premise are we even sure it was actually Alex who gave him the virus? It could just be another shapeshifter pretending to be Alex.

I hope they try again with the no actual combat, only attempts to escape. I always thought the idea behind that was interesting for this game and that seems like it could really create tense horror situations. Maybe if they had the nightmares occur at random times and just make your main...

Well this is good business sense on Activision's part, their just trying to salvage as much of Infinity Ward as possible. As for this whole situation, as much as I hate Activision (I refuse to purchase anything produced by them), we do not have enough information to say that they are in the...

He was talking about how this game introduced fully traversable set pieces. Most games would reduce many of the sequences in Uncharted 2 to cut scenes or quick time events. The train is notable as being the largest of these interactive set pieces, so it gets a lot of attention, but the tech...

Considering this is from the Game Developers Conference where their supposed to be discussing their successes and failures with other game developers and talking about how they did things and the challenges that arose based on their decisions this is most likely less patting themselves on the...
