    Artificial Difficulty: Biggest Offenders

    What, no hatin' for Prince of Persia? Talk about cheapest enemies ever. They wait specifically for you to launch into one of those ridiculous five-minute-long combat animations. Then they stack 82 enemies on top of you for no reason. Having a shit-ton of enemies is not upping the difficulty...

    Tom Brokaw Calls Videogames "Cancerous"

    Here are some of the basic problems that I have with discussions of videogame violence: 1. Violence existed *well* before any form of media did. Nobody ever considers that. "The Iliad" has some of the most graphic depictions of violence in literary form, but no-one is clamoring to remove...
