    New SimCity Will Require Always-On Internet - UPDATED

    Well, it looks like I'm finally going to be breaking my long, long streak of buying new Sim City games the week they come out. I've stuck with the series since I first picked up Sim City 2000, way way back when... Goodnight, sweet prince. You will be missed. Or maybe not; Sim City 4 is...

    Oh my god, I just realized what's going on. Bioware is keeping it's fans by negging them.

    LulzSec Leader Outed As FBI Rat

    Serves 'em right. Anonymous, for the most part, at least had a message behind what it was doing. They go after things that, in some fashion, express a desire for freedom of information and freedom of people. LulzSec was just a group of idiots out for attention.

    BioWare Defends Mass Effect 3 Launch-Day DLC

    No. No. No. No no no no no no no. No no. No no no. No. No. If you are 'content complete', and you are still creating content, then you are not 'content complete'. You are spitting out marketing bullshit to try and preserve your reputation with your fans. You have to bug test the...

    Japanese Game Industry is Feeling the Pinch

    This... really isn't that surprising. There are a lot of games that use the Cry engine, I'd be willing to bet that EA has reused the engine for MW2 more than once, and as far as physics engines go, go look through your library and see how many titles include that use the Havok physics engine...

    Alan Wake Rockets Into the Black

    Obviously, this is just more proof that piracy on the PC makes it financially unfeasible to put out a PC version of a console game and still make money with it.

    Curt Schilling Defends Kingdoms of Amalur Online Pass

    If you have to pay for it - whether it's $10 on the DLC market to buy it or an extra $10 from buying it new instead of used - I am not being 'rewarded' for anything. I am paying more for an additional piece of content. This is not 'rewarding' gamers who are giving you money. This is charging...

    RuneScape Gets Pricier

    Runescape still exists? People still play it? People still *pay* to play it? I'm not sure which of those three surprises me the most.

    Robama Wants You to Buy American

    ...but DC stories are, by and large, shit right now. They're in the middle of a reboot that's a reboot but not a complete reboot and some people aren't rebooted at all but maybe they are and what is this i don't even. Manga (generally) keeps itself much more coherent by virtue of the simple...

    Mass Effect 3 Gives Steam a Miss at Launch

    What EA says: Steam's restrictive policies regarding downloadable content What EA means: Steam wants to take a bit off the top when a player buys DLC through steam What EA says: Steam's restrictive policies in interaction with customers What A means: We want to force people to sign up...

    BioWare Insists The Old Republic Is Innovative

    ...except you aren't an FPS or RTS game. This is like someone defending the gameplay of BF3 because it's deeper and more complex than Tetris.

    Firaxis Reveals a "Real" X-Com Remake

    Oh my god. The guys behind Civilization got their hands on the X-Com license? I just imagined building bases in a Civilization-style universe with actual graphics and almost had to go change my pants.

    Rumor: Iran Responding to Battlefield 3 with Anti-Israel Game

    Well, yeah. Modern Warfare already let the Russians invade Washington DC, what would we care if the Iranians did it?

    Final Fantasy XIV Summons Subscription Fees

    This is like watching a little kid fall down because they tied their shoelaces together, sand up slowly, untie his shoes, then tie them back together. The kid is certain that it'll work this time, but everyone else around them is just smacking their forehead.
