Listening to this latest episode my belly laughter did more than once most loudly sputter Then a most awkward demand came for its explanation from my mother. "Two ex-pat Brits were in a rap battle, on the internet" I explained, "Except with poetry instead of rap and the subject matter...

They were voted the "Worst Company in America", twice. THEN they began reconsidering their actions? Am I being too cynical here, but isn't this the sort of thing a company ought to begin reconsidering LONG BEFORE said company even becomes a contendor for "Worst Company in America", first time...

Once, there was a time; - this long before critics did rhyme - about the issues within games and the objectified conquest of "dames" and naratives gritty blitzed with silly sandbox crime. And in this when there was this word, its meaning crystal clear to one and all; referring to a...

Right, but as someone who knows a good bit about Linux even the most obtuse scripting needed to achieve the result you want won't be a dealbreaker for you if the functionality is worth it; this is essentially why long time Linux users universally have a "I'll give up using the shell when you can...

No one else going to say it? ... Fine. I will. That was bloody complicated. I know there's reasons why there's such depth of options for configuring a network, but really comparing the amount of configuring it takes to achieve an "acceptable, safe default setting" with Samba compared to...

TL;DR: S: "I'm proud of a company-shutting commercial failure. Two years of successes still haven't measured up to it by my unspecified metrics." B: "I'm primary respected for my success at making entirely different games. That said, shoulda-woulda-coulda. No offense though bro."

Isn't the real question: "Why didn't the makers of Call Ghosts of Duty grow have the guts to drop the narrative completely, and focus utterly on the gunplay?" Its vestigial storytelling. All of it is like so many words knitted together like an appendix that exists so it can, as typical of an...

Except Microsoft released a statement denying that and there's no real evidence beyond rumour (read: someone once posted it on a forum on the internet! It must be true!). That said, I do support in the interest of serious journalism, 2 escapist writers having a ten minute swearing marathon...

Both the PS4 and Xbone are treating their early adopters as hardware beta testers.

If this doesn't result in immature gamers gravitation to games with M ratings so they can swear and mature gamers losing interest in those games (and maybe getting jaded of video games as a whole) I'll be shocked. Of course if a games company acts on this and makes an FPS with first rate...

Neither the Xbone nor the PS4 was designed to make playing video games simple, effortless, or reliable. The NES was a console. The Mega Drive (or Genesis) was a console. 3DO was a console. The Wii, the WiiU? Both consoles. Insert game. Power on. Play. A console implies a degree of...

That's not a worrying start. That's a woeful start. And I'd expect more esteemed elements of the gaming press to be organising some kind of research to find out the real figure (a kind of consumer interest census), since Sony haven't actually disclosed the actual percentage. That's...

So, let me see if I have this straight: SONY, the company that in 2011 had 77,000,000,000 USERS' DATA STOLEN - including their CREDIT CARD DETAILS and then DID NOTHING for SEVEN DAYS (as opposed to say, force all users to change their passwords as a precautionary measure while continuing a...

Jim, I have to ask, as this is something you know that isn't common knowledge among game consumers: what parts of NDAs can be talked about by members of the gaming press that are not talked about? I'm not referring to the subjects that an NDA itself covers, but the discussion of the NDA...

The "We have't forgotten the shit you pulled on GeoHot" community of hackers releases statement on forthcoming Custom Firmware for PS4. Hilights: PS4 owners can replace the PS4's 500GB hard drive, a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive, with an adaptor available from cheap chinese manufactures on...
