    EA Pulls A Fast One WIth Battlefield 3

    Wait a minute, all these people moaning and complaining about how these servers are ruining the game and EA are evil incarnate, is due to nothing more than the server list lacking filter options?

    Capcom Faces Bullying Accusation

    My money is on we will never fully know the facts of what did/did not happen as it'll be settled out of court.

    Legend of Grimrock Review

    For games like this I would love that feature. I'm assuming at some point the developers will expand the game with another dungeon, if that happens I'm planning on playing it in old-school mode, but personally I would prefer to be able to open a blank map book in game and draw directly to that...

    Leisure Suit Larry Tries His Luck on Kickstarter

    I'm going to be chipping in purely for the nostalgia trip! They're remaking Leisure Suit Larry with Al Lowe, large and in charge. All is right with the world.

    EA Owes Its Success To Its Failures

    The way things are going, you probably will. It'll just be a FPS or a flight sim or whatever the hell the most popular genre is at the time.

    Jimquisition: Jimquisition Extra: Virgillio Armarndio's Art Hole

    I would say Jim did this video so he had an excuse to dress silly and wear make-up. Problem is, Jim doesn't need an excuse, it's just how he rolls.

    Syndicate Remake Revealed as a Shooter - UPDATED

    I think your missing the point. Let's say for the sake of argument the game turns out to be amazing, loved by critics and FPS fans alike. GOTY material, an instant classic, a genre defining masterpiece that becomes the next benchmark that all future FPS games will be judged by. None of this will...

    Syndicate Remake Revealed as a Shooter - UPDATED

    I was really hoping for another (real) Syndicate game, but alas. On the upside, there's a possibility they'll re-release the original Syndicate and Syndicate Wars. If they do, I would love to see them on GoG but expect they'll use Origin.

    Critical Miss: The Bastard's Guide to Journalism

    Okay, I've got no idea what the comic is referring to and from the little info I gleamed from the writer's blurb, it really isn't worth my time to read the links or even ask for someone to give me the gist of it. So, instead of doing that, anyone got any funny antidotes or snippets of worldly...

    Oh dear god (graphic animal cruelty)

    Okay, I've tried a couple of times now and I can only make it halfway through. Watching an animal being skinned alive is the cruelest thing I've ever seen. And even then, after doing such a thing, to not have the common decency to put the suffering animal out of its misery just astounds me...

    The Dumbification of Gaming

    There are a ton of alterations/additions/subtractions to gameplay mechanics and level design that drive me up the wall, but there's another side to consolitis I think everyone has overlooked that is just as bad (if not worse) and that is the lack of customisation (my apologies if someone has...
