    222: Not That There's Anything Wrong With That

    It's great to see any article that pans the incessant male bravado that dominates today's games - it really is time for a paradigm shift away from the teenage cynicism that seems to have pervaded gaming ever since the 128-bit transition. Hopefully we'll start to see a treatment of sexuality that...

    Heavy Rain: "You're Going to Tell Your Own Story"

    Cor, I can't wait for this. My disposition reading is at "neutral" ? and that's only because it can't go any higher.

    Final Fantasy XIV Will Have Jobs, Won't Have Levels or Experience

    Oh noes! The video's down thanks to a copyright claim by 株式会社エンターブレイン! Damn you, 株式会社エンターブレイン! I should have known!

    Poll: Final Fantasy 12 - Did u enjoy it

    I think the character development was inconsistent because of the need to accomodate the party system. While it has worked in other Final Fantasy narratives, I reckon the sheer complexity of XII's politically-driven plot could have better suited a smaller cast of more fleshed-out characters...

    I reckon a SEGA employee rallied /b/ to help.

    That would be the honourable thing for the ESA to do. ;)

    Metal Gear Solid 4's Protagonist to Sport iPod

    Would you heap the same scorn on someone defending product placement in the James Bond films? Product placement does make perfect business sense, especially if you're working with money-spilling blockbusters like MGS4. But I suppose there's no reason EVER trying to explain it, seeing as you...

    BBFC Laughs Off Industry's Self-Regulation Argument

    No, the agency can't effectively rate game ? I am know this. All your base are belong to us.

    Bioware Heads Debate Whether Wii Constitutes Gaming

    Never trust the word of a man who says "different than." Zeschuck's grammar is FAIL.

    Damn the concept of relative geographical proximity! Can Blighty become part of the USA for a bit while I apply? :P

    Poll: I've had enough of SEGA.

    I think SEGA has forgotten that franchises don't have to last for ever. I'd like to see some cool new IPs instead of these tired, pedestrian old ones. I hope recycled ideas don't become a staple feature of these long-established gaming names, but we seem to be headed that way, with Mario and...

    Not really, else they wouldn't have offered a censored version ;)

    EA Responds to Mass Effect Report on Fox News

    I agree, and I love the fact that it's EA of all people. Hopefully the industry response to these expert non-gamers will become more articulated (and noticeable) from hereon - thus far it's only really been the "working example" gamers who have had the guts to retaliate. But if EA had stayed...

    U.K. Columnist Says "Xbox is Crack For Kids"

    Whatever is the matter with this woman!? Why, I'm willing to bet she would have denounced comic books as "Satan's porn" were she around during that medium's advent. Such blind conservatism is depressing to encounter, especially when people are being paid to regurgitate it.
