You must admit, she has a very valid point. We can point out exceptions until the end of time, but the fact is that in the game industry, these are the overwhelming minority. For every BioShock there are ten Gears of War clones that rely solely on shock violence to sell a mediocre experience...

You know, considering our crime rates here in Louisiana (Remember, we have New Orleans down here) I have never once seen games in the hot seat on our local news. There was one time when the police department in a nearby town was calling for a ban on 187 Ride or Die for glorifying gangsters and...

What the fuck? Am I the ONLY person that the AI has made amphibious assaults against?! It has happened to me TWICE! I keep hearing people say that the AI can't do it, but it has happened to me twice...But then again, it has only happened to me twice and I've had the game for about two weeks now...

This was a hilarious article that poked fun at many of the reasons why I consider fanfiction to be the bane of ANYTHING; video game, anime, TV show, or other. I do agree that you left out a major part by not mentioning Mary/Gary Sues in some way, which are ridiculously common in fanfictions...

"New Call of Duty coming out soon?" I didn't know that eight months away is considered "soon."

Including the C8 doesn't exactly mean that Canadians will be in the game. It could just mean that the SAS are returning and that Infinity Ward is being more accurate with their weapons this time around. The C8 is the favored weapon of choice among British special forces like the SAS and SBS...

This. I understand what RTT and those other subgenres are, but why bother? The game industry generally just throws every real-time strategy/tactics game under the RTS genre. We don't need ten different subgenres to describe a strategy game that is in real time. Keep it simple: We don't need...

Ugh...I hate Activision more and more with each passing month. They used to be okay, but ever since the merger they have become grade-A mega-douches. EA, for all their anti-piracy controversy, is actually starting to become one of the better mega-companies in the game industry now, simply...

I'd say that the UK needs Sex Ed...but I'd be a hypocrite. My own high school didn't have Sex Ed. I live in the Southern United States, one of the most religiously backwards places on Earth. When they tried to create a Sex Ed class, hyper-religious parental groups said no and protested until...

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Anyone who knows a decent amount about Japan could tell you: Rape is considered pretty "normal" in the hentai industry, games or otherwise. I'm certainly not into it by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a very popular sexual fetish there. But really...If...

Ha, those were both two of my favorites. Though, I'd say my favorite heavy mech of all time was the Cauldron-Born. The Thor was pretty freaking cool too. Man, I miss those games...I'd love to re-visit MechWarrior 3, but it plays like shit on XP. I'd play for about 15-20 minutes and it...

This is a subject I happen to know a fair bit about, and I will elaborate upon it. I put a spoiler tab because the following post is massive:

Oh, you have to love CCFC, they are like the PETA of angry, overprotective parental groups. Really, what is the deal? Schoolastic is still primarily into the book market. If Schoolastic suddenly sold nothing but games and Hannah Montana merchandise, then fine. If Schoolastic was selling T...

I never really had to introduce my girlfriend to gaming, she was already a gamer when we met. That said, she has branched out and tried a lot of games she normally wouldn't have tried on her own. When we met, she was more of a survival horror, RPG, and the occasional RTS girl. She didn't pick up...

Even if that was the case, the list still fails. Why is there no GTAIII? GTA is the modern Mortal Kombat; it is the definitive whipping boy when it comes to anti-game legislation and all the "games are bad and make innocent people murder" arguments and studies. Every time someone like Jack...
