    Everything We Know About the Nintendo Switch

    Years ago I called out on Ninty for really wanting to get in on the mobile market. Short of releasing a "Game Boy Phone" they did get in on mobile games by approving ports to the 3DS. This is their answer to get in on that market. I expect an early trickle preceding a downpour of mobile...

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 4

    Haha, no relation.

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 4

    Sorry if I sounded jumbled. I meant like you said. The Locust were something from antiquity that could infect humans if need be, but were an ald species that could breed. The sires were the thing that introduced lambency to the Locust making them into the current Locust, and with imulsion...

    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 4

    The game had some nice stuff to look at but the way the setpieces were put together you didn't have a ton of time to actually sit there and look at the stuff. I mean, I tried a few times to walk around a bit to look at stuff here and there and grab collectibles, but overall you still missed the...

    Extra Punctuation: Uncharted 3 Should've Tried Harder

    It's too bad that the rumors of Naughty Dog 'abandoning' Uncharted like they did Jak and Daxter and Crash might be true, it's been done those two times already after a trilogy and a side game or two, it can happen again. Golden Abyss, a prequel, is already outsourced. So it's pretty close to...

    Console Gaming

    I didn't feel like going over 11 pages of posts so if someone posted these little things already, boo me. First off, to Yahtzee's last comment; Emotiv, while far from perfected, is a control method that removes the need for any action period. Be it hands or flailing with a remote or just...

    Is this actually a good idea?

    Japan beat you to it though, check out Jump Super Stars. Coldfreeze mentioned the sequel Jump Ultimate Stars. 2D though, so not a 3D arena-like experience, but still close to this vision.

    The Needles: You Only Have Yourself To Blame

    This is something I thought about too, even if I didn't bother to mention it. If PC sales aren't up to snuff they'll just scrap the medium altogether and focus on consoles like you said. It also seems that not everyone had the same problems, so it's hard to say that all of this isn't just...

    The Needles: You Only Have Yourself To Blame

    True and true. The games industry has been the same as Film and Music for years, where your purchase means you can play your game as easily as watching your movie or listening to your music. DRM is like purchasing a priveledge to play their game that requires constant permission to do so...

    The Needles: You Only Have Yourself To Blame

    Seriously? So I take it you download programs off the internet and install them only to complain that that software contains loads of adware and spyware because it was never your responsibility to read or even skim the documentation in which is says boldly that it does? You make it sound...

    Mainstream Games A Meh?

    I'll make it short. New games are definitely improved for the most part at least in gameplay and graphics. Some games are better because they improved over time with each iteration; see Tales of Vesperia. Older games are great because they were the first to give great experiences, that's how...

    Character Design

    No one really touched on this topic on the special edition thing...well, aside from jimduckie and Mad World. The fact that recently, as I was checking out the state of upcoming games, I noticed that a fair amount of Special or Limited editions have been coming out with expensive DLC out of...

    Are casual gamers ruining gaming?

    The whole 'Casual vs Hardcore' saga is giving me a headache... One one side of many we have gamers from 'ye golden age' complaining about new gamers, some from the last age weaned on the PSX or PS2 era, and the PC crowd. Regardless where you started, personally I started in the last...
