I want to make it clear that I like MK9 a lot, and I think that it should be used as a blueprint for how to do a reboot that satisfies older players but still brings in new fans. However: 1. This was MK9's third year at EVO. This in and of itself isn't a big deal, but... 2. MK9 had the...

There are no minimum requirements for being a gamer or a feminist, but the more you know, the better, because someone is going to call you out when you make a mistake or misrepresent something. The biggest problem is that (and please correct me if I'm wrong, because I haven't sat down and...

- Persona 4 Arena was played at EVO 2013. - To be fair, I think Mortal Kombat probably should have had something else substituted for it (my pick would have been Skullgirls) but Netherrealms was a big sponsor this year, so... - Why do you prefer DoA5 to TTT2? I haven't played DoA...

Wrong Tim Rogers. This is the Tim Rogers you're looking for: http://www.linkedin.com/pub/tim-rogers/24/391/51a Here are two of the many websites he's involved with: http://www.actionbutton.net/ http://insertcredit.com Even though he pisses some people off, he is one of the handful...

Silent Hill Let Hideo Kojima take a crack at it like Konami wanted him to. I mean, what the hell, especially after how badly Downpour did commercially (even though I don't think it was a bad game). Shattered Memories showed me that taking a different approach to the series can work...

I'm surprised at all the Divekick hate I'm seeing. I know that it's not the prettiest game in the world, and that the humorous aspects will probably get a little old after a while. However, it's an addictive game that can be picked up by anyone in 5 minutes, but it still manages to teach...

Whoops. Just watched it. HOW MANY EMOTIONS IS PEOPLE? David Cage is a self-loathing, wannabe filmmaker, but his idiocy is entertaining. Even if all he's capable of making is Quick Time Event: The Game, he at least brings his own unique brand of stupid into the homogenous world of games...

Way of the Dogg for EVO 2014

I don't really understand what you're trying to say. The graphics are stylized, not realistic. Maybe you just don't care for the style? I personally find it to be pretty striking. I also don't understand "barely any emotion". The main character is an assassin, so he's probably on the cold...

Streets of Rage 2 was great fun...when I played it last month. In fact, it's more fun now than it was when I first bought it 20 years ago, since I know the subtleties of the game so much better now. Batman: Arkham Asylum was an amazing game...the first time I played through it. I tried...

The very first paragraph of my post answers this. I'm not suggesting that anyone give up what they like to do; instead, you're asking yourself the question from the point-of-view of someone who has come to the conclusion that whatever enjoyment they've received from playing video games...

Funny enough, that's pretty much the response I would expect from Roast Beef, even if you used Little Nephew's language to give it.

Please keep in mind that this is not a question of whether or not you should or shouldn't continue to play video games or the pros and cons of doing so. Instead, I want you to answer this question as if you have already made up your mind on the matter. Pretend that you have reevaluated...

First of all, Nicolas Cage is a goddamn treasure, and when he dies or quits acting the world will be duller for it. I once thought that Mark Wahlberg fit the bill, but there are too many good things that he's been involved with over the years (Boogie Nights, I Heart Huckabees, The...

I'd like to be a rich person with integrity. I don't understand why it has to be a either/or situation. For the record, I voted for "Rich Sellout". I figure I can always give away my money to those who need it more if I come to the conclusion that I don't deserve it for some reason...
