    Friday Box-Office: Expendables Can't Beat Week-Old Turtles, Raccoon

    I'm sure I'll love the film when I see it, has nothing to do with the film itself that I refuse to pay for it at the cinema. I just refuse outright to support the trend of making everything PG-13 for mass appeal. Same reason I won't buy certain games from certain publishers that follow the same...

    Friday Box-Office: Expendables Can't Beat Week-Old Turtles, Raccoon

    I enjoyed both the first and second films. Perhaps more than others as I didn't even try to take them seriously. That and being able to see many of the action movie stars of my youth all together was worth the price of admission. Ex3 though. Ex3. Why did I not go to the cinema to see Ex3? The...

    Microsoft Grabs Rise of the Tomb Raider in Xbox Exclusive - Update

    Six months after release we will see reports of Squeenix crying about it not having made enough money or selling enough copies and not having a clue why. Here is a hint Squeenix, the only way this could have been a poorer decision would have been to make it WiiU exclusive.

    Games to get out of a gaming rut.

    When I get stuck I default to one MMO or another. Eventually get so sick of doing the same thing every day that I branch out into my collection for variety, works every time.

    Games You're not looking foward to

    Evolve. The simple fact that is has been built from the ground up as a DLC platform causes me concern. Granted it isn't fair to pass judgement until we see how much actual content comes with the base game yet still concerned. If Evolve is a huge hit with the torrents of DLC planned (if it...

    Firefly Online Reunites Cast, Gameplay Revealed

    Looks/sounds a little interesting. Think I'll wait for solid info on business model before I dare to get excited about it. Would have to be on Valves level to overcome the knowledge that this is a game that is being made to run on tablets and all the negative connotations that implies.

    League of Legends "A New Dawn" Cinematic Features New And Old

    That was.. interesting. Riot seems to be on its way to CCPs level of trailer making. I find myself looking forward to the next one.

    What is your favorite science fiction ship?

    Favourite ship growing up? Then that would be the League Dread from Colony Wars.

    Kinect v2 Priced at $200 for Windows, Coming July 15

    Does less.. costs more.. has very little useful application for gamers.. doubtful application for everyone else. Come on MS, have you learned nothing?

    Poll: How bad is your current backlog?

    I tend not to buy something unless I do actually want to play it so I went with reasonable 1-5, that is only the case right now as the summer sale ended. Playing through AC4 right now, SR4 is next, then Nexus from GOG is up for getting replayed, not sure if that really counts though as it is...

    Ubisoft: "DLC is Pretty Much Accepted Now"

    My answer to all this has become fairly simple. I no longer pre-order anything. I no longer buy anything day one at full price. I wait for the 75% off sales and only then will I buy a game. I don't support the nickle and dime bullshit so instead I exercise a little patience and get the whole lot...

    Gamers Uncomfortable with Change, Says EA's Peter Moore

    No Mr Moore, we just don't like how you and EA want to change things. We have nothing against change, we love change, we love the new ideas and games it can bring. What we hate is the way you and yours dictate what that change should be and no matter how hard you try to force it, we still...

    Triple A game budget solution

    Interesting idea but ultimately doomed to failure. They would do it then what happens if it was a huge success? Suddenly the suits would be dropping 10 of millions and hundreds of staff into making the sequel once again chasing the white rabbit.

    Cash Grab Dungeon Keeper Was Wrong, Admits EA CEO

    I haven't read the other posts so this may have been said already. This whole things stinks of it not making all the money like EA would have hoped, it didn't follow tapped out to make them hundreds of millions. If it had they'd be gloating about it not 'maybe' admitting they were wrong...
