    Zero Punctuation: Gears of War 3

    TL:DR version of this review: I don't like Gears of War, therefore I don't remember anything about it, therefore I'm just going to complain it's not well fleshed out enough. And I'll make the entire review about how I don't remember anything instead of the gameplay or, y'know, the reasons people...

    Your favorite anime character is now your school teacher.

    I'd learn how to be a lawyer. Likely, most of class would consist of screaming "HOLD IT!" and asking for more clarification on stuff I didn't understand. To which the prof would reply "TAKE THAT!" and offer the explanation. Then he'd go to assign homework and I'd say "OBJECTION!!!!" and ask...

    Activision Declines Use of In-Game Ads Out of "Respect"

    You want to see annoying and prevalent in game ads, check out Blur...or really most racing titles. Made by...oh, that's right. Otherwise a fantastic game though.

    The Common Mistakes of Horror Games

    Great article, except: 1) In my experience, the music only starts when you SEE the enemy, not when enemies appear. So it only signposts the end of combat, and even then sometimes more will pop up. Agreed on Dead Space though. 2) They don't take control away from what I recall, you just...

    THQ Impressed by 3DS Anti-Piracy Tech

    Is it fair to say he's impressed by it? From the sounds of it, Mr. Curran sounds optimistic about it, but it seems like Nintendo told him nothing about it. So how could he be impressed by something he knows nothing about? Maybe I'm just nitpicking but...

    Poll: Split/Second or Conviction?

    I'd say Blur myself, if you're into racing. All the fun racing physics of PGR, combined with the powerups of Mario Kart, and the progressive leveling system of Modern Warfare 2. An absolute joy to play. Conviction is an alright second choice. Make sure you have some buddies to play...

    Cliff Bleszinski: Don't Punish Pre-Owned Buyers

    True, but the problem with 'Project 10 Dollar' and what Epic did with Gears 2 and even what Cliffy is talking about to an extent is this: What if you don't play online? Or, more to the point, what if you don't HAVE an online console connection? I do, and I'd expect most people here do. But...

    EA online pass. Will the extortion end with EA sports?

    They had better have a system in place to remove it once the game becomes older...if I go to buy, say, Tiger Woods 11 after 12 is out, I'd certainly feel cheated paying an extra 10 bucks (probably a good third of the cost of the game) simply because finding a new copy at that time would be...
