    BioWare Cancels Shadow Realms RPG Development

    Can't say I am shocked to see this game get yanked. BioWare Austin was created to create and maintain SW:ToR. That's all BW Austin was supposed to be doing. Now, it's fairly obvious why BW Austin hasn't fixed the abomination alpha Hero Engine, or replaced it, that SW:ToR uses. Why Shadow of...

    7 Famous Warships That Ruled the Modern Seas

    Some of these ships should have just been honorable mentions with their spots going to other warships that were absolutely dominating. Admiral Sheer and Graf Spee spring instantly to mind over the Bismark or Tirpitz. U.S.S. Enterprise, CV-6, should have been the mention with the Super Carrier...

    Say Goodbye to the USS Enterprise... Forever

    It's a tragedy that this U.S.S. Enterprise's predecessor was turned into scrap as well. A very sad and undeserved ending for the most decorated ship in U.S. Navy history. As to this U.S.S. Enterprise, it's also disheartening she is being turned into scrap. This vessel represented a huge leap...

    Poll: Destiny beta impressions.

    I played the beta extensively on the X1. Totally fell in love with the story, environment and PvE aspects. The gunplay felt solid and responsive. I especially liked that gear, at the green level and up, had skill trees you unlocked by using the weapons. Heck, even the armor, green rarity and...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition Delayed at Least a Month

    Except by pushing it back to November they have to compete with COD, Halo The Master Chief Collection, and a few other games. BioWare would have been better aiming for either a summer (this year release) or January next year release so they aren't launching into a huge pile up of games. I've...

    ME3 and Auteur Theory

    I think the auteur theory really can only be applied to single person projects, such as a book etc. It's a single person's creation and vision. They get help from an editor etc, but the core of the writing and vision is a single persons. As it pertains to ME3's ending, the writers were...

    Destiny Beta Causing PSN Outage Issues

    This is what really shocked me about Activision/Bungie getting involved in a year long exclusivity deal for Destiny with Sony on the PS4. The PS4/PS3 etc have long been known to not be so good for much of anything via online gaming. Hell, anyone that is playing shooters online, or competitively...

    Respawn Exec Wouldn't "Rule Out" Titanfall Single Player

    Hah. I got to the point where he said ... "I think there is a lot of merit in the paradigm Titanfall introduced..." then I lost it laughing. I think he overlooked, like, every PvP server in an MMO ever as well as pretty much any online only MP shooter ever. Counter Strike comes to mind...

    EA CEO: Battlefield 4 Launch Was "Unacceptable"

    It's funny EA/DICE mention they are owning the mistake; that the launch of BF$ was unacceptable, yet 7-8 months after launch the game is still a mess. Ok fine, you admitted that BF4's launch was unacceptable, that you've learned from your mistakes, however pushing focus onto Battlefield...

    Ground Zeroes is Only Worth What You'll Pay For It

    Yahtzee is actually on to something here. "...It's only worth what someone is willing to pay for it." Here's the thing, older gamers can remember a time where $60 got you a game that had 20-60 hours of single player content that may, or may not, have a multiplayer suite. As time has gone on...

    Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Unleashes The Lunar Fragtrap Fall 2014

    Interesting. I've been wanting some new adventures in the Borderlands. Now, it looks like that's exactly what we are going to get. Heh. The only thing that has me a tad concerned is that it's not developed by Gearbox, but 2k Australia has done work on a few noteworthy games; So it should be a...

    Jimquisition: Buyer Beware

    I have to say I agree with Mr. Sterlings general thoughts and ideas in regards to the topic of caveat emptor. That said there are a few points that weren't mentioned. The biggest of those points being this; Games, like most of the rest of things that are sold, are based on the principle of...

    Titanfall Doesn't Have Anti-Cheat (Yet)

    I've run into 2 aimbotters on the Xbox One, a number of lag switchers about 10 or 15 people using invincibility type cheats, but the biggest most glaring issue has been people from outside the U.S. intentionally jumping on U.S. servers to gain an unfair advantage. This has also happened in...

    Xbox Live Sign-In Problems Are "Not a Titanfall Issue" - Update

    LOL!! Liars! I am experiencing this issue and talked with a XBL customer service rep that told me "This is a result of restarts of the European Titanfall servers for a fix/update that then caused login problems over there then migrated to the US and created the need to restart the US log in...

    Titanfall Gets Season Pass, Origin-Exclusive Digital DX Edition

    I can verify this. During my time with the beta on the xbone almost all of the FPS drops I experienced were in the titans. Inconsistent is a nice way of saying "Almost damn near unplayable". The frame rate issue can also pop up as a pilot when you are near a number of titans and other players...
