The Vault. Too many popular games too soon and it becomes cheaper for subscribers to hold off on purchasing games Not enough relevant games and people will see no point in paying the subs for access to year old Madden and FIFA titles. EA needs to keep at least one relevant title in the vault...

Nothing more than a rebranding of the three year old "Season Ticket" which was $25 a year. EA raised the price by $5, extended the early access time from 3 to 5 days, dropped the discount 10% and tossed in some year old rentals to sweeten the mix. This seems like nothing more than a move to...

That trailer looks like it was from 2006.

So I got a chance to get in on the Xbox One beta. As shooters go, this was probably the main one I was looking forward to this year and so far, while I am not disappointed, I am not blown away either. I don't know where I read it, but "Halo meets Phantasy Star Online" is a pretty accurate...

I like the Xbox One and enjoy Kinect voice control to manage my game playing and TV viewing. Did it live up to the hype machine MS peddled leading up to and shortly after its release - probably not...but then, what does? I don't blame MS for having a poorly communicated vision of the future...

I've watched some of the hands on but haven't played myself. It doesn't look so much like an MMO placed in a FPS world which I was hoping for. I get the feeling it is more a FPS where the modes, perks and weapons have been yanked from a menu screen and wrapped up in a convoluted MMO skin. So...

Thank you, Jim. Excellent piece. Indeed, fuck pre-orders. We have the power to stop this madness...why won't we do it. Why do so many people agree yet turn around and jump to that whistle.

People complaining about not having a playable character of ever race, color, sex and religion is a distraction to the main issue that the game industry has always done a piss poor job of depicting female characters. Which is more diverse? GAME A You play as a thick necked white soldier (only...

I looked up the recent article. It is worth reading and makes many good points. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/video-games/columns/experienced-points/11827-Theres-Nothing-Good-About-Toxic-Players Toxic players should not be treated like hackers, nor should they be ignored...

This site did a small article about toxic players a little while back. I agree, the publishers need to stop ignoring these types of players and thinking their online communities will just ignore them as well. Many gamers ignore them by leaving the community. As the online and social aspect of...

Having disposable income doesn't make a bad purchase good. Why not just pre-order Warlords of Draenor which gives you a free level 90 character boost as soon as you purchase it. That way you are actually getting new content for your money rather than paying to skip content you already...

Alien Isolation is a First Person game so unless the Nostromo is covered with mirrors, it doesn't really matter if your character is wearing a Ripley skin or not.

We will have to agree to disagree.

What about the elephant in the room that nobody is talking about. The one group of people who appear in all sorts of games and are always stereotypically portrayed as the 'bad' guy. Everyone wants to stand up for the player character but what about the villains. It is time these NPCs got fair...

No loot? What reason is there for grinding then? I don't want to just dry hump everything, if at some point a load doesn't drop for me. Where is the backup for this lootless ARPG claim? Ok, just checked the DS forums and a gameplay video. It's all true...this is no longer Sacred, its...
