    Survey Says Japanese Dislike Shooters

    Anyway all this discussion is a bit pointless from my point of view, simply because the article only stated numbers concerning the Japanes market. Those numbers are meaningless until compared to European and American numbers. Maybe the numbers mentioned are actually a lot closer to the our own...

    Game Design Sketchbook: Police Brutality

    Wow I found this really shocking. He was carried out solely because of some question. One can ignore the question, but this...... Really really scary stuff. No offense, but I am so happy that I do not live in America when I see this. In the Netherlands the police would never ever be allowed to...

    PlayStation 3 Launch Was on Verge of Disaster, Sony CEO Says

    What I never understand is why console developers keep making the same mistakes. They rush out this console while there are no games yet and then they act suprised that it doesn't sell.

    Best accidental find?

    I'm afraid I have to go with TheBenMan. I tend to spend a lot of time reading previews and reviews on various websites. So by the time a game comes out I normally know the ins and outs already. I guess boring people like us are just not adventurous enough :-(

    WildTangent Boss Sours On In-Game Advertising

    While it doesn't sound so bad, what I am afraid of is that companies will use this type of advertisement without giving the consumer something back for it.

    Postal Movie Release Cut To Four Screens

    Theaters stopping a movie from playing, okay (questionable, but okay). But Boll is not able to rent! spaces to play his movie. That is censorship and nothing else. It just seems so drastic to me and unfair. There are so many crap movies coming out all the time (often even worse), but those are...

    Postal Movie Release Cut To Four Screens

    So none of you is worried about the fact that a film like is just censored away? I expected more the Escapists readers. It is a very strong measure, which in my opinion is very dangerous if applied thies eaily without any consequences.

    What difficulty level do you start off with?

    I always start one below the highest difficulty. That way, most of the time the game is challenging enough, while at the same time one has another playthrough to look forward to. Starting at the highest difficulty feels like a shame, because when you're done you're done.
