    Anti-DRM Group Sends Nintendo 200 Bricks

    THANK YOU! I'm glad I'm not the only person who thinks this is all a tad ridiculous over a handheld game device Hardware and software tampering has always brought consequences for the vast majority of computers and game systems, because while you may own the actual device, the company has...

    Extra Punctuation: Why Regenerating Health Sucks

    I have played with three health systems that I think work pretty well: 1. Halo 1 and Halo: Reach. This was mentioned before, but I think its good to have partial regeneration, but also health packs. In Reach especially, I liked how your health could essentially be rounded up to the nearest...

    Spawn Camping Marathon Gets Black Ops Players Banned

    1. People need to realize the point of this thread isn't (just) bad game design in Blops. It's about boosting. You cannot defend boosting. It's trying to game the system, and its often explicitly stated to be against TOS of multiplayer games. I can't think of a single game that runs...

    Live Action Halo: Reach Trailer Depicts Spartan Sacrifice

    I really liked this trailer, though I don't know if it could top the ODST trailer. That one, after all, was in Gaelic.

    X-Com Creator Weighs in on Remake

    I'm personally excited for the game, but I can understand how he's upset. There's no real need for it to be called X-com. The could have used a new brand and it probably wouldn't attract any less attention, and there really isn't any strong connection between the two. But with this, his game...

    It's the first Need for speed I am remotely interested in... so yes?

    EA Conference 2010 Discussion

    I've seen quite a lot of stuff that I like, but it has taken a minority of the show time. For every one minute of good games that I have watched, I've had to sit through 5 of botched lines, whimsical thinking, and exercise games, and I was really excited for this E3 for once too. Not to say...

    Hardest final boss you've ever fought?

    Gears of War, General Raam, insane difficulty, no co-op. Took me a very long time, and I had to get really good with the torque bow.

    Halo 3 Outsells PS3's Heavy Hitters Combined

    Quite frankly, I don't think this guy gives a shit about gamers. He cares about investors and developers, who care about sales. I don't think anyone should make this argument about quality, because that's not what this is about. It's about which company is making more of a profit, and I think...

    Zero Punctuation: Red Dead Redemption

    Yahtzee is always going to go more on the negative parts of the games than the positive, especially on games that already receive a lot of critical attention/acclaim. That's what I like about him, he's a naysayer, a counter-balance to game reviewers that cushion games with higher scores that...

    FF7 Writer: Nintendo Era Is Over

    I seriously doubt that Nintendo is just going to fall over because someone else is getting into the handheld industry. Granted, Apple is doing a better job than most of the other laughable attempts to contest with the Big N. But first, consider the games that apple platforms have had: board...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Trailer Features Gameplay, Cynicism

    Umm, the whole goal of the Soviet Union was to overthrow the world. Ever heard of the Crisis of Capitalism? Brezhnev doctrine? The Soviet Union was the head of an empire, as nearly literal as it could be in the latter half of the 20th century. Their goal, stated by their Marxist origins, was...

    Greatest RPG Ever.

    I always loved the paper mario games. Especially the first for me, it was one of my favorite games on the N64, (no small feat, because I liked quite a few of them). It had great gameplay mechanics, especially for a turn based game. It was a very fun approach to the mario universe as well as...

    Call of Duty: Black Ops Trailer Induces a Flashback

    here's a tip: he doesn't have amnesia; he's being tortured. So this is probably going to be the story of a special forces soldier (American most likely) fighting during the cold war in black ops missions in a) vietnam, b) south america, c) middle east (most likely Afghanistan) and finally d)...

    Your first level 100 Pokemon

    Tombo the Blastoise was my first 100. There were many more.
