Semantics aside, graphic novels are called what they are to avoid the idiocy of people who assume all comics are stupid superhero things, just as WINE is called a compatibility layer to avoid the idiocy of people who assume all emulators recreate the machine/OS using multiple times the power/CPU...

Why China? I'm surprised that something like this isn't being released internationally, or to the US first, or at least being announced to come here eventually. It's not that I'm complaining or that I'm frustrated/sad (I don't play CoD games these days); I'm just wondering why a US company...

I think this only really happens on consoles. The typical console gamer will rent a game and blow through it in a few months (or buy it and sell it back afterwards), never touching it for a second playthrough or more multiplayer. This is only strengthened by the fact that console multiplayers...

I was a classic teenager when Revenge of the Sith was new and when I first watched it. I thought, man, Anakin totally gets me! He was pretty much a negative influence on me, the complete opposite of a positive role model. Of course, now that I've grown up, I can see Anakin for what he is: a...

What the iPhone did to indie games and the gaming industry was huge and, probably, the biggest change to gaming in 2 decades or so. But the biggest influence ever? I think the very first computer game coders and the NES (and perhaps even the pioneers of 3D games) would like to have a word with you.

First Mojang's Scrolls, and now they try to stop a game that won't at all mess with their sales from being made. Bethesda needs new lawyers, preferably non-asshole ones. It's annoying that I have to love the developers and then hate the lawyers.

It seems all the other points have been made, so I'll just say that they take forever to release games because their games are true quality. Honestly, the only game I've ever truly liked that didn't take forever to make was Call of Duty, and that's because Call of Duty STILL took forever to...

I'd like to thank those retards for making my cold turkey CoD quit very easy. And I really have trouble following their logic here. Anti-cheat programs never significantly help hacking/cheating issues, and the best defense has always been for server admins to kick cheaters out. So, to make sure...

Oh, calm down. We still see an average of probably 3-6 truly amazing substance games every year, and that's plenty for me. The devs who just stick to what's popular will continue to do that. I'm glad they're staying out of the masterpieces that they would taint and ruin. It's the same story with...

Personally, I'm not, either. The only two backups I'll trust are Steam servers and my hard drive of ISOs, so I'm fine as long as I can get BF3 retail. I appreciate that Origin really isn't much of a hog, and even if it was, I'm running a beast, so I can't complain. What I don't like is how...

All of his points are valid and accurate, but it doesn't change the fact that he's being an ass. It's good he seems to care about PC gamers enough to apologize about Rage, but outside of the topic of Rage (in those last few paragraphs) he basically said that games could be a lot better if we...

When I read about what the guy did, I thought, well, that sucks. That guy should not be such an ass. I also thought calling it rape is silly. The man didn't get any sexual pleasure from the event. He didn't think the boy was sexy or make him do disturbing, scarring things. He just stuck an...

We already have 2 shooter equivalents to Dark Souls: the Oblivion Lost mod for STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl and the Pripyatan A.R.M.S. mod for STALKER Call of Pripyat. Also the original Counter-Strike Source. I much appreciate what shooters do these days. I have fun improving all the time with...

I learned the hard way from Splinter Cell Conviction that a good, not perfect game is STILL not enjoyable if it's a horrible console port. Rage would've been a price-drop buy for me, but not after hearing/seeing all the shit about the PC version.

From the fan perspective, it can be fun to make connections out of clues that aren't actually supposed to be there and were placed by accident, but I don't see the point in making Nintendo agree. I'd be happy just pretending that was the timeline if I were ocarinahero10. From the creator...
