"We have to talk." That phrase has never preceded a pleasant conversation.

I really hope they get the book thrown at them. It's bad enough that they were doing this out of boredom but they dared authorities to arrest them. Wish granted, you got busted. Welcome to serious prison time. I hope by the time they get out their hacking skills won't let them hack a pocket...

It's hard to take a speech about fairness and equality for all developers when he is giving the speech from his solid gold throne stacked on a huge pile of money while twirling his Snidely Whiplash mustache. This is coming from the company that thought buying exclusive rights to the NFL was...

Translation: "We're not trying to give everyone a chance to buy these games, we want them to be horribly overpriced so we can throw more money on our huge pile of money." I totally understand the point they were trying to make. They want to make it seem like they just want everyone to charge...

Considering the kid was waiting for a console what video game was he playing without one? Honestly, this is just retarded. If you leave something so inherently harmful around a small child, someone is going to get hurt.

I don't have a personal problem with regenerating help but it does take some of the difficulty out of the game. Older games with health packs are much more difficult. Any finite resource that you have to manage makes games that are high in action far more difficult. Now you aren't just...
