    The Battleship Movie Trailer Is Here!

    So they took battleship, a game where two sides with identical fleets wage war, and made the two sides completely different. How did they manage to screw up the canon of a board game with no story? This looks hilariously good.

    Razzie Awards Eyeing Transformers 3 for Nomination List

    You know, I went into dark of the moon wanting to leave my brain at the door and have some fun. I paid for a ticket to see action and explosions. I then had to sit through what felt like an hour of Shia le Boof trying to get a job, arguing with his girlfriend and whining away. To anyone who...

    Green Lantern: The Fanboy Free Breakdown

    He made it pretty clear that this analysis was nothing to do with fanboy-ism, which means he wasnt trying to explain his 'fan-boy nerd-rage' here. And if there are things in the movie that piss off fans (I dont really know the green lantern mythos so I cant comment on that), then that added to...

    Less Crime in U.S. Thanks to Videogames

    To everyone saying correlation does not imply causation: That whole point of this paper was to posit a possible cause of a decreasing crime rate. There must be something affecting the crime rate, so things which correlate are a possibility. Correlation is one of the most obvious signs of...

    Obama: "Turn off the video games and pick up a book."

    It is an anti video game statement. There is absolutely nothing that makes books better than videogames. The assumption that reading is somehow a better way to spend your time than playing games is indicative of the way most non gamers still see games as pointless wastes of time when compared to...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    In the past old games eventually stopped becoming available, but that doesnt necessarily mean current downloadable games will - microsoft, nintendo and sony would be fools not to bring their current stores to their new consoles. There is pretty much no reason for microsoft to stop selling braid...

    Potential wiiu problem...

    And like I said, if you do that the game won't work when you play on just the controller. So if a developer spends time and money on a new, touchscreen UI they lose a key feature of the console. Not exactly encouraging.

    Potential wiiu problem...

    So, the two big features the wiiu has to tempt us away from the other consoles are: 1.A touchscreen in the controller, to provide extra info/input & 2.The ability to play games on the controller without the tv ...except games will only be able to have one of these features each, because they...

    E3: Luigi's Mansion 2

    Why make a mario platformer starring luigi? They're not being mean to luigi, they're using a lower profile character to try different gameplay styles - lots of people complained when mario sunshine added the water cannon to marios platforming, so nintendo will probably keep the main mario games...

    E3: Wii U Lineup Impresses

    I think the mario game was just a demo, not an actual launch title. Still you're right, nintendo needs to announce some great first party launch titles to give any 'core' gamers a reason to pick it up at launch
