    Game Developers Don't Know How to Scare Us

    Games I found genuinely scary. Each one is scary in a slightly different way. 1) Alien Isolation - If it finds you it will kill you. Most of your weapons are useless and at best will only chase it off for a little while. 2) Last Of Us - not all of it, but the parts where you're creeping through...

    Nintendo Wants Its Cut

    I don't see why people who put an effort into doing something and have people willing to pay for it shouldn't get paid for their efforts. Or that somehow because someone enjoys what they are doing they should only be doing it for free? If I buy a spade and open a gardening business why should...

    Nintendo Wants Its Cut

    Imagine if you bought a car and decided to use it as a taxi. Suddenly the manufacturer turns up and wants the money you make since your passengers are getting to drive in it without buying it for themselves. Oh, and when you decide to sell it, they find a way to stop the keys working so the new...

    Nintendo Wants Its Cut

    It may be a tangent, but in the UK we're having a similar issue only with PPL and music. I'm a part-time fitness instructor who teaches Les Mills classes. One of the USP's of Les Mills is that they use the original music rather than cover versions. Up til now we paid a flat fee to PPL to be...

    303: How Games Get Zombies Wrong

    Okay, some good stuff, some not so good. Ranged weapon - fair enough, but the problem is ammo and stopping the 99% of 6 billion who are now zombies from killing us. Melee weapon - mace or sword. Something for smashing heads or cutting them off. Anything that requires fuel is a liability...

    303: How Games Get Zombies Wrong

    I think playing Fallout New Vegas on hardcore mode with zombies would be pretty cool (much like Red Dead Redemption did with Undead Redemption). You're really just swapping Post Nuclear War Apocalypse for Zombie Plague Apocalypse. Swap radiation with some sort of infection rating. Change the...

    Your weapon in the zombie apocalypse. (with a twist)

    Aw crap, a sofa and some cushions. Perhaps I could hide behind the sofa or under some cushions until they move on. Then I can sneak to my right and get my Katana...

    9 year old Boy stabbed to death over a game related incident.

    I took a look at the article and don't see the problem. Saying something is "over a videogame" isn't blaming the videogame. The phrase "They fought over the last slice of pizza" doesn't imply any blame to the pizza. In this case I think it is we who are over-reacting.

    The Broken Economy Is Your Fault

    After playing Oblivion where I have several houses full of items it's not worth my while selling and I now decorate my houses with magic items for fun, here are my thought on this. 1. Assuming a stable economy, money is neither created or destroyed, it just moves around. Taking Iron swords as...
