    PC Players Not Getting New BioShock 2 DLC

    If their goal is to find some way to just abandon PC development, theres nothing that can be done from the consumer's end. If people stop buying games, they're obviously pirates. If people stop downloading games, they're obviously getting them from some place else or theres obviously no...

    Why are motion controls considered casual ?

    Skimmed, sue me. They're considered casual because they have little relevance to the game. You have fun because you're jumping around embarassing yourself in front of friends, waiting for them to do the same. They don't have fine responses or accurate readings, thus cannot be used for...

    Nintendo Doesn't Blame Piracy for Poor Software Sales

    To be perfectly fair, that is a very... eastern take on the whole piracy issue. The idea quality will essentially shame or make a person feel good enough about the product to lay down legal tender for a legal copy is very naive. In possession of a pirated copy of an absolutely fantastic...

    Online Pass Isn't Hurting Used Game Sales

    Well, problem being a price reduction has to come out of the industry's end. All other costs remain the same. Also, used games would simply match the price reduction on both ends. GAME is also somewhat irrelevant to the whole "used games" deal, as they don't charge insane amounts (90% of...

    Christian Gaming Company Goes "Deep and Wide"

    Sell their christian values through a medium where millions of whores defile themselves for money and attention? Heresy, I say. Its really because their target demographics possess a very high level of technological illiteracy.

    Recreating Humanity in a Computer

    Yes, to an outside perspective, nothing changes except location. But as far as you are concerned, the replicate is also an outside perspective. You will never see through it's eyes. Your perspective won't transfer to it. You will step into this hypothetical machine, get scanned, then be...

    Poll: Can an opinion be wrong?

    "Opinion" is simply a descriptive grouping for a series of statements. The word itself is meaningless. But most people use the word to mean belief. Belief always implies a certain level of disconnect from evidence or factual basis. So, by common definition, opinion is always wrong.

    Lamest excuse for a negetive point in reviews

    Since it went over your head, I'll elaborate. Your first point is kinda... dense. Yes, most shooters have limited weapon inventory NOW. Gee, I wonder what game with that was so massively successful that every game that involved shooting things would need this "feature." Also, considering...

    Poll:Would cross-platform gaming work?

    Those three platforms are pretty identical. Two crippled PCs and PC. Doubt it'll happen. The few attempts at it were pretty awful for one or the other. In shadowrun, Mouselook was crippled, console auto-aim was near-perfect. With every other attempt, console players were simply too slow to...

    So does that mean in FFXIII-2, all the female characters will become pop stars and dress like complete whores for no real reason?
