Your article reminds me of an old Jimquisition where Jim argues that a big problem in the gaming industry is that all of the executives are not gamers but instead usually come from other manufacturing industries and packaged goods. What ends up happening is that in those industries...

This is honestly one of the worst ideas that I have ever heard in my life. I used to work in games retail and telling people that they can not play a game because they need something more than their console will have them bitching all day long. Telling them that a game is online only, needs...

If I find someone attractive I don't see what difference it makes if they used to be another gender. I might not be into a pre-op MtF but post-op wouldn't bother me plus no accidental pregnancies. If you meet a beautiful, smart, funny, nice caring person that you are attracted to and who is...

Gen 6 for me is the best because games had enough complexity to allow for amazing/unique stories and experiences but were cheap enough to produce that companies could take risks because they only needed to sell a few copies to start turning a profit instead of the current trend where every...

Piracy has always been a problem of availability. Itunes did more to combat music piracy than any laws or taking down of pirate sites because it gave people a cheap and easy alternative. People are going to go for the easiest option every time and if piracy is the easiest option then they are...

I was tempted to say that OP should start with an older more traditional RTS like Starcraft or Warcraft 3 but the older RTS games tend to have wonky difficulty curves and are painfully slow by modern standards. I would say that any of the games OP has are fine for learning to play RTS games. An...

I have plenty of these. Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 1+2. I loved these growing up and EA has not seen fit to put them on Origin yet which would honestly be enough to make me install it and get an account and everything. Chaos League. Man I wish I knew what happened to my...

Although not super recent I finally got the Platinum trophy on Dark Souls Also had my best Dota 2 match recently going 25-0-24 as Spirit Breaker (My favorite hero)

A family friend actually does the programming for all the electronic games at several top casino's all over the world and he told me that the odds are programmed at 95:5 so that basically for every $100 played at the machine or group of machines the house gets $95 dollars and the gamblers get $5...

I work in game retail and I can tell you that DRM drives customers away like you would not believe. It has gotten to the point that we don't even stock AAA PC games anymore because of how poorly they sell just because people don't want to have to connect games to a million accounts just to play...

In a perfect world I would legalize all drugs and let people make their decisions with regard to their use and let them deal with the consequences. This would save money on law enforcement and the drugs could be taxed to improve the economy and regulated to protect the user. The problem is...

Resurrect: Good Final Fantasys - Bring back proper party and job based Final Fantasy games with proper turn based combat and a story line that makes sense and characters that I don't want to throttle. The Dawn of War series - Even though I wasn't very impressed with the second game I want...

This used to be why EA were put up with despite being EA but how many really unique games have they released in the last few years. Name a game that isn't a sequel or a blatant rip off of another popular game that EA have published in the last 5 years.

While EA are not doing anything overtly evil at the moment I won't trust them as far as I could throw them and I don't doubt for one second that they will try and gouge every cent out of their consumer if they thought they could. The only reason they don't is because of the backlash they would...

Killzone 2 and 3 on the PS3. I really liked the first Killzone but the sequels are drab and boring and gray and you plod along with your uninteresting PC and NPCs fighting the cartoonishly evil bad guys. Really nothing exciting going on at all.
