    Sega to Drop Games and Employees During Extreme Restructuring

    It's too bad Sega's been having this many problems. My question is what will happen to the AM2 R&D departments? Is Virtua Fighter considered one of their "stable" series, or do they believe bowing out to Street Fighter, Soul Calibur and Tekken is their best bet here? That's a shame if the...

    Are games today really that bad?

    I'm going to disagree here, as a good amount already have. There's nothing wrong with today's gaming industry. There are plenty of great games still coming out. Sure, I'll go back and replay Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Castlevania, but that doesn't mean I think that generation of...

    Why do people want games to be realistic?

    I, personally, like to see realism in games advance, but not necessarily want my games to be realistic. Seeing games evolve as they have already has been amazing, and I like seeing how far the technology can be pushed. However, that doesn't mean I want all games to trend that way. If you're...

    Why Do Gamers Insist On Getting Games On Midnight?

    For me, it was more of a comraderie thing. Sounds weird, but it's true. I went to some midnight releases because I knew that other people who cared about video games as much as I did would be there. Sure, it would probably be cold, and I'd probably be extremely tired that night, but it was...

    Whats With All The Hostility On Xbox Live

    Sadly, this seems to be a pervading trend in games. There is a lengthy section in the User Agreements that describe this exact problem with online gaming, but there are two problems: 1 - Many do not read the User Agreements, so they don't know what is against the rules. This means more and...

    Notch Puts Minecraft Quests, Statistics in Motion

    Achievements seem like a tutorial of sorts. A welcome addition for new players, I would assume. The weather looks great, too. Really looking forward to this update!

    Poll: Would multiplayer FPS Games be better without snipers.

    I typically play as an Assault or Medic style class. I'm out on the front lines either giving support to the most aggressive players out there or being the objective runner myself. Of course, concentrating on the forces around the objective leaves me open to snipers. A fair share of my deaths...

    Games you just don't get along with

    Bioshock was one of the worst for me. I would constantly replay the first chapter, saying "this time, I'll try to play it through" and never could. Dead Space was the same way. All the Final Fantasy games after FFV have too much flare. I like my FF's to be a bit simpler, focusing on what you...

    How do you celebrate a gamming win?

    Depends on the game and victory type. For example, if I win a multiplayer match in Bad Company 2, I typically just browse the stats, nothing special. If I win a racing game by a good lead, I'll hit the e-brake and spin across the finish line. If I win a fighting game match or a close...

    GameStop Sued Over "Deceptive" Used Game Sales

    Under normal circumstances, this could be a PR nightmare for a company. However, the two companies involved already have masses lining up at their offices with torches and pitch forks for reasons I can't quite comprehend, so it seems as though nothing will change.

    HeartGold and SoulSilver's Pokéwalker Requires Thousand Mile Trek

    I actually have attached the Pokewalker to my pant leg near the foot when I play the drums on Rock Band. Already have 21000 steps in two days. At least now I have a reason to stop being lazy and hopping on the bus on campus to go down the street. And, no, InsaneLaughter, you were not the...

    Doomsday Arcade: Episode 13

    Great episode. Loved all the odes to the old Mario games, and even a reference to the Super Mario Bros. movie! The trance song was pretty catchy, too. Must have it...

    Another metroid game? WHAT?

    I'm very excited for Metroid: Other M. I love playing the old Metroid games, and this looks to make the action a bit more exciting. To be honest, though, I am a tiny bit skeptical. I was one of the few that did not enjoy Metroid Prime, so I guess I'm skeptical because it's supposed to be a...

    Games you regret selling.

    I don't sell many games, but the thing I regret the most is giving away my entire SEGA Genesis collection...I miss Sonic the Hedgehog 2... Oh, and Army of Two. That game was pretty fun.

    Your gaming quirks

    For one, whenever I can tweak anything, I try tweaking everything possible just to see what it does. Especially in racing games, I'll sit down for about 3-4 hours testing out different settings and whatnot before I usually go back to all of the default settings anyway. Second, whenever I...
