    EA Now Owns Star Wars Games. Get the Torches.

    Sir Shockwave: Yeah, I remembered C&C afterward, and of course there is Sim City. But AFAIK they've gone downhill as well, and C&C and Sim City have a larger audience than X-Wing.

    EA Now Owns Star Wars Games. Get the Torches.

    Lunar Templar, you're devious. Abomination: "A game with the Dragon Age type combat and party system developed by Bioware could be exactly the type of RPG Star Wars needs." Won't happen. Consider that EA threw away DA1's strategic combat when they made DA2. Madgaurd1989: "Dice...

    EA Now Owns Star Wars Games. Get the Torches.

    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/123783-Electronic-Arts-Signs-Exclusive-Star-Wars-Game-Deal-With-Disney I kinda want to shake this author. Shake him hard for like 5 seconds. EA *can't* make a good X-Wing series sequel. It's not because they don't have the talent or drive (although...

    Zero Punctuation: Red Steel 2

    "I will admit that the swordplay itself is quite invigorating in a way that using a normal controller wouldn't be." That was actually a lot more positive than I expected the review to be. Wow. As far as the question posed at the end of the review, I don't really care if not much else is...

    Zero Punctuation: Darksiders

    Totally agree about the art direction of this and other recent games (WoW - although WoW isn't "recent" per say).

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    Battle Medic, "unfortunately" the only differences between the PSP version and the Wii version is the PSP had that movie battle mode, the PSP had slightly lower graphics/framerate/etc and had to be played on a smaller screen, and the Wii version had remapped and superior controls. So everything...

    Zero Punctuation: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

    Actually, the Wii version generally considered one of the better versions of the game. There is zero platforming in the game, and while I would normally say that's bad, apparently the 360/PS3 version did it badly enough that people would rather not have it at all. The Wii/PS2/PSP versions also...

    Zero Punctuation: Soul Calibur IV

    Well after his review of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I angrily said that none of his arguments were in fact directed at the game, but rather at the genre. I said he doesn't really get the genre. And well, looks like I was right. It's too bad, too, but I can understand it because I've got a friend...

    The Unlockables Debate

    I can guarantee you he - or you - would have made the same complaint if MegaMan was unlockable. "He's such a big character that you shouldn't have to unlock him!" he/you'd say, "And the fact that they hide that he's in the game just makes it impossible to even know he's there to try to unlock!"...

    The Unlockables Debate

    Here's the kind of thinking that really bugs me - and no, this post isn't all geared straight at you, AngelSlayer. How is unlocking features for kids? How? No, think about it. It's really annoying when people don't like something, so they just write it off as "for kids." Don't like to cook a...
