It's such a bizarre move by Reddit Admins. She was arguably the most important person to Reddits third largest sub. It's like they went up and knocked out a load bearing pillar of Reddit without telling anyone who should know beforehand. And somehow they're shocked at the backlash. My best...

Far too many commentators over the last few days. Between reddit (especially users who've barely picked up a game in their life) and kotaku, its been a mess. Doesn't help when you there's posts with headlines like "Ubisoft won't talk to us about women" and then was a few paragraphs that were...

I haven't been a fan of how the media has been treating this whole thing. A lot of "sexism" accusations being flung around, Kotaku just taking shots at Ubisoft and ignoring Ubis actual official statement that makes it all feel like a huge overreaction that the media can just jump all over...

Ugh, another video game/feminist debate. I feel like, ever since the whole Anita Sarkeesian blow up, we've got to a point that we're looking at the issue of women and video games in any form under a microscope. Any little thing is going to be talked about, misquoted and argued back and forward...

Well this is based on the idea that whatever Director who got the job would have any kind of large influence on the new trilogy. There's no chance in hell of that when you've got both Disney and Lucasfilm at the reins. Kathleen Kennedy would kill anyone who'd try and widely change the Star Wars...

There's a good bit of grinding from what I played but it's never really effected my experience negatively. Maybe that's down to me being used to it from the genre, especially going back to the when the genre was at it's height of popularity. And compared to the last Level 5 game I really loved...

The best part of Spider-Man isn't actually Spider-Man, it's Peter Parker and how he balances his life being a hero with all the "normal" stuff like a job, relationships and family. And actually seeing his life progress and change, not suddenly revert when things get interesting. Parker having...

That clip will always leave me with some kind of uncomfortable feeling like when you get a shiver down your spine. Not a "omg I'm gonna throw up" level but that's likely down to seeing it a few times over the years and cause when you're on the internet long enough, you see some messed up shit...

No it isn't, you're just spreading crap. If you were ever an actual PC gamer you'd know full well a PC, especially one as overpriced as over a thousand dollars, would not be outdated in a year. It's beyond ignorant to ever believe something like that. Like I said, just another stereotype...

Ugh...does anyone actually believe this crap? Even when told countless times and even shown that it isn't true, people still spread this bull. Really, while we're at it, PS3 has no games, 360 dies of RROD within days and there are no such thing as girl gamers...

Wait, what? You are doing something horribly wrong if you think it'll cost you thousands of pounds to upgrade. Hell, building a PC from scratch to run current games shouldn't have to cost that much.

Eh, reviews have been mixed going from ok to great but this is the first full on negative review I've seen. And nearly every review I've watched or read has put Andrew as the better version of Peter Parker over Tobi, which aint that hard tbh. All the same, I'd rather Spidey was back in...

That was actually pretty good.

I wouldn't say perfectly but anyway, the biggest issue out of all this is everyone (even myself) are way too eager to assume what everyone else thinks. "Oh this is what he actually meant" or "what they're really arguing about is this or that." No, stop that. Every last person who even assumes...

Wow, that was a cheap swing (and a miss) at the whole ME3 "controversy." You'd think this was something new. Thing is, it isn't even the first (or last) time this has happened. Public pressure is far from a new concept. 2 gaming related ones come straight to mind. First being Fallout 3s...
