    Jimquisition: On-Disc DLC Cannot Be Justified

    This week, I agreed with Jim Sterling and disagreed with MovieBob... Swings and roundabouts.

    are gamers too quick to boycott these days?

    Not quick enough to boycott, since they don't stick to their guns.

    So. 90 days til Skyrim launches. What will you do first?

    What game are you talking about? I've never heard of this Skyrim. Oh, do you mean Scrolls? I can't wait for the next Scrolls game. But seriously? Steal anything not tied down.

    DLC, Again

    It might be a step forward in DLC for the industry, day one DLC is a step backward for Valve. Valve needs to remember that one of the reasons its games are so popular (and rarely pirated) is due to all the good will they're generated through the years by selling us games with a reliable and...

    DLC for Dummies

    I stopped reading this when I came across the word "idiot." Name-calling makes your post seem extremely unprofessional. I could go to a hundred different sites on the internet and get content like this; I come to the Escapist because I thought its contributors were a bit more mature than this...

    Computer Virus Removal Leads to Worldwide Conspiracy Scam

    ...That must have been some great weed. He is a musician after all.

    Blizzard Explains Tough Decisions Behind StarCraft II Trilogy

    Why are you all so angry at something that hasn't happened yet? Get angry when they break their promise and choose not to price them as expansions...they haven't done that yet. Also, why all the hate of Kotick? He's a businessman. That's what they're supposed to do: maximize profits. Nobody's...

    Blizzard Explains Tough Decisions Behind StarCraft II Trilogy

    (Taken from the Starcraft 2 FAQ) Are these three separate games? How much will all of these games cost? The StarCraft II Trilogy will consist of the base StarCraft II game and two expansion sets. Pricing on these games hasn't been determined at this early stage; however, we've always...

    UK Defense Secretary Calls for Medal of Honor Ban

    Guys, I think you're all a little oversensitive to this whole "video games are bad" theme going on in the media and perhaps become a bit too extremist. Do you really think a game where you play as Taliban...mass murderers, to be polite...killing American soldiers sounds like a fun idea...

    Is Mario simply Nintendo's new "Seal of Approval"

    Actually, this is their seal of approval. Fact is, it goes on everything. Wish it only went on good games. It goes on shovelware too.

    Why do people say that the British didn't do a thing in WW2?

    I think the misunderstanding most likely comes from the fact that if America didn't stop being isolationist, Britain would have fallen sooner or later. They just didn't really stand a chance numbers wise against the rest of Europe. It's silly though, since without their valiant struggle, the...

    Roger Ebert still maintains that video games can't be art.

    I tend to agree with the girl at the TED conference more than Ebert. I can't blame him for not seeing video games as art. Obviously he doesn't play them. If you're watching someone else play it, through a YouTube video or what have you, you don't get the emotional investment needed to call the...

    Call of Duty to get WoW-Like Subscriptions?

    Guys, don't you realize that by charging a small fee of 15 to 20 dollars a month, they can make improvements that have not been seen in recent call of duty games. You could get whole new weapon skins, and maybe even a new map every few months! If you feel it's not worth the price, you could...

    That's not foresight, that's hindsight. =P
