    Zelda's Skull Kid Joins Super Smash Bros As Assist Trophy

    I was super-excited until I got to the 'As Assist Trophy' part. So close...so very, very close... Something to work from for the inevitable modders though, I guess.

    What did the Xbone do right?

    The controller seems pretty good. It's pretty much the same thing as before, but hey, at least it didn't get worse. Expecting a subscription fee for the battery recharge though, with the way things are going.

    Blizzard Shelves Diablo III Team Deathmatch Mode

    "high-quality Blizzard experience." Yeah, sorry, but that excuse doesn't work anymore. Not that I've been playing the game, eagerly awaiting the PVP addition, but I played enough to know that that isn't a reason for Blizzard to can things anymore. It was back in the day, but that time's...

    U.S. Senator Takes Pro-NRA, Anti-GTA Stance

    I don't think there could be a more obvious attempt at scapegoating...'This thing I support? It's not totally responsible..I mean, it has problems...but uh...it's not like it...HEY, videogames! Look at those things! They sure are controversial, right guys?' Or the 'Jingle Keys' approach, as...

    Most infuriating "cutscene incompotence" moment?

    Gah, that drove me nuts! I was stumped about what I could add to this thread, but I second this wholeheartedly. Too many times in that game I had to remind myself 'this is just to push the story forward, it's fine.'

    Xbox Live Rewarding Gold Members Based on Gamerscore

    Except in this case, you'd win a teddy bear that costs 60c. Generosity!

    Bosses/enemies you feel sorry about killing

    I totally agree with the Big Daddies now that I've read that, but for the one that made me pop up anyway: <spoiler=Panzer Dragoon Orta spoiler of sorts...for anyone that wants to play that but hasn't yet for some reason>There's a boss towards the end that's...kind of a giant multi-winged...

    Xbox Live Moves in With Windows 8

    "40 titles will be initially available via the Windows 8 Xbox Live app, with more trickling in as time goes by." Just like backwards compatibility, right? Still waiting on the last 5 levels of Panzer Dragoon Orta, and a pretty substantial amount of my game stash. Even if this was an...

    No Right Answer: Best Animated Disney Movie Ever

    Whaaaat? Beauty and the Beast? Your opinions are wrong! Personally, I think Beauty and the Beast was one of the weaker movies. Still good, and Lumiere was a stand-out character. And the music was incredible. Uh, point being that overall, it was just a little on the shallow side and felt a...

    What games do you want a HD remakes of?

    I was going to say the Otogi games, but...THIS.

    Poll: Your Pet is Drowning, and so is a Stranger.

    I would save my pet. I know that, objectively speaking, saving another person is more important. But in the heat of the moment, how could I not go for what means more to me personally? Kinda like how you'd probably go for heirlooms or items of sentiment in a fire before you go for your...

    Does the Mass Effect 3 extended cut fix what was wrong?

    Without spoilers: It fills in the bits that were obvious plot holes. It gives you a better sense of closure. It does not fix the problems with the rest of the game, however. It's an improvement, and you'll probably not get the same sense of utter disappointment and frustration that people...

    How Do We Judge Old Games?

    I'd say you can judge them fresh by just discounting things imposed by technical limitations (primarily graphics complexity). Other than that, an old game with better gameplay than a new game is still the better game, while the opposite is also true. I actually have a friend who insists new...

    Ouya Courts $8 Million, Namco-Bandai

    If this leads to a sudden return of arcade and retro-styled games, I'm fully on board. Developers could use the 'modern console' excuse to jump back into those kinds of games. They're pretty easy to make nowadays, even at higher technical quality than before, but there's still a market there...

    Crytek: There Isn't Enough Interest in TimeSplitters 4

    Wait, I wasn't involved in this blog rally...I didn't even know about it. And I'm surely not the only one. That's not scientifically accurate! Uh...ahem. I would be perfectly fine with a F2P Timesplitters. Seems like a good series for it, honestly, since sheer volume of crazy content has...
