    Oculus Rift May Force Game Prices Higher

    So what they're saying is, once they have a half decent market share, they'll change their developer terms to charge a licencing fee, rather than just making the money from consumer models.

    We're The Good Guys Now

    Scary, but not as scary as Lemongrab creepers. Fuck this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qqd9S06lvH0

    Dark Knight Rises Cinematographer Bashes The Avengers

    It's all very good saying "That was bad and you should feel bad", but does it matter if people ENJOY it? Som stories are told to get the emotional value across (Schindler's List perhaps?) whereas some are made for pure enjoyment, which is why scenes like this were very well received...

    Windows Store Won't Sell Adult-Rated Games

    Vast majority of the recent CoD's have been 18+ IIRC too. Look at the Top 10 best sellers that are not sports games, now imagine that a likely 6-7 of them are not being sold in this marketplace. (Estimated number, but I would be surprised if I was too far off.)

    NASA's Voyager 1 May Have Left Our Solar System

    Whilst I can understand why you would think that as a possibility, no. The moon is very much inside the Earth's sphere of influence despite being so much further out than where our atmosphere ends. The sun's gravity and magnetic hold extend a good bit further than you would assume...

    Steam TOS Leads to Trouble in Germany

    okay, so Steam still insists it's a subscription, however please see the following http://curia.europa.eu/jcms/upload/docs/application/pdf/2012-07/cp120094en.pdf Direct quote: It is a right to use for an unlimited period given in exchange for payment. It is a full bought license and the...

    Steam TOS Leads to Trouble in Germany

    Yeah, you're right it doesn't say purchase anywh.... Oh. Right. It is not a subscription service, Valve have recognised this fact before, and according to the language of their T&C's and their storefront, according to EU law it is not a subscription service. I do, however, agree...

    Activision's Evil Rep is Unfair Says Spider-Man Dev

    This is the entirety of the defence Kotick needs: He didn't say he wanted to take fun out of games themselves. The quote is that he "wants to take the fun out of making games" (my emphasis) EDIT: Please note that I do feel this is also undesirable, thought not as much as taking the fun...

    TimeSplitters Dev: There's No Money in FPS Games

    1) Ellis doesn't want to make FPSes anymore. He's said he's split from Free Radical and that it looks like the end of that for him SECONDLY, there's more to FR than Ellis, and most of them are at Crytek UK, as well as Crytek owning the rights to TS now. If we're getting a TS4 (and I hope...

    Ubisoft Forgets Multiplayer Codes in Driver: San Francisco - UPDATED

    the price is WRONG, *****! But yeah, Uni are becoming the worst company. Like, Activision are deliberately monetising the life out of everything, but at least their games are still playable. Uni just seem to be imploding. Yet I still gave them my moneys for trackmania 2. Why did it...

    They released two new franchises in 2001, Animal Crossing and Pikmin, have frequently published small developers both in Japan and other territories, to allow them to try their own new franchises. Also; Endless Ocean (2007) Chibi Robo (2005)

    Nintendo is not cool

    Muramasa! Of course! Knew I was forgetting one! And I don't think Overkill should make the list, but I would agree with you on the Resi games.
