    Ever feel sorry for the enemies you've killed in a game?

    First time I played Assassins Creed: I was riding my horse on the way to Damascus; came across a guard and slashed him at full gallop. The guy released a drawn-out scream, hit the ground and kept twitching for a few seconds while his scream slowly died down. First time I was freaked out by...

    Games you want in HD but know it will never happen

    I'd love to see an HD remake of this title. One of my all-time favorites. OT: Symphony of the Night. I'd like to see a graphical update similar to what SNK did with the KOF series.

    Security Analyst Explains Why We Love Lulzsec

    I agree with Mr. Gray. If people are entrusting their personal info to companies, said companies better damn well make sure it's as secure as possible. Hopefully this will also get the general public to take online security seriously (no more using the same password for every login, etc)...

    Remedy: The Sooner We Go Digital the Better

    Well, with bandwidth caps that ISPs are implementing, as well as AAA games sometimes reaching 20gigs in storage, going fully digital is still a ways off. Which is all right with me, as I enjoy owning physical items. As others have said, having a physical disk ensures you're not at the mercy of...

    Games Don't Need To Sell 1 Million Copies For Success

    I believe that having a product sell 1M+ copies gives the impression that it was extremely popular, which is something that a company can use when it comes to advertising, pitching for a larger budget, etc. You can mainly thank the shareholders and the stock market for that mentality...

    Ninja Theory Defends Dante Redesign [UPDATED]

    I actually enjoyed the new gameplay that Nero brought. I found myself missing Nero's demon arm function while playing as Dante. Regarding the new DMC, I'd rather they moved forward instead of doing another prequel. As others have said, DMC3 took care of the prequel. Really don't see the need...

    Ninja Theory Defends Dante Redesign [UPDATED]

    Hm. Interesting. I'd think that, in keeping with Dante's personality (especially with what he was wearing in DMC3), the character wouldn't care what others thought of his clothing choice. I'm all for artistic license, and Ninja Theory is free to design things as they will, but since when did...

    Online Pass Is a Success, Says EA

    In my opinion, most of the blame here goes to the people supporting Online Pass by purchasing it. A company's first and foremost task is to make money. EA isn't doing anything that any other company doesn't do. If gamers/consumers wanted EA to get rid of Online Pass, all they had to do is not...

    Judge Rules Lineage Lawsuit May Proceed

    According to my business law professor, no EULA/waiver/etc. can override your fundamental rights. OT: For those who say that this case is ridiculous, yes it is, but think about this: Ever wonder why products sometimes have strange, outlandish warnings against usage that anyone with a fraction...

    OnLive Impression: Should You Care?

    Regarding property rights, it should be mentioned that the "unlimited" play is currently only guaranteed for three years "until at least June 17th, 2010". http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/full-list-of-onlive-pricing-options http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-20010687-1.html The reason...

    Gran Turismo 5 Designer Responds to Italian Complaints

    Interesting... So, in this case, it's more like a trademark or logo. I can see then why they'd want it licensed. Just general business/organization stuff. Not much in the way of news then. :P It at least did get GT5 some publicity in any case.

    Gran Turismo 5 Designer Responds to Italian Complaints

    Could be they realize it's going to be a popular title and want a piece of the revenue. In my opinion, it seems the complaint, in this instance, is more money-based than anything else. Being a flag, it's out in public view anyways, right?

    Apple Patents Personalized Videogame Comic Books

    You might be on to something. While Apple is more likely to possibly use this tech, there are companies who don't manufacture any products but purchase patents in order to generate revenue through infringement lawsuits. What shows the sad state of the US patent office is that it allows...

    Rare games in your collection

    I, too, have a copy of that game. I bought it alongside my PS1. :) OT: I have a copy of Valkyrie Profile for the PS1. Extremely hard - and expensive - to obtain.
