    Pokemon GO Plus Delayed to September

    For me, the big feature that would make this a buy would be pokestop USE, not detection. Unless you're traveling a ton, you probably know where most of the pokestops are around you, pretty quickly. If it allowed you to push that button to use the pokestop, or did it automatically as you passed...

    People Quitting Jobs, Walking off Cliffs, and Hit by Cars Playing Pokemon GO

    "Her mother said, "The Pokemon game took her across a major highway at 5 o'clock in the evening, which is rush hour."" This kind of thinking - or at least the thinking her verbiage implies - just drives me nuts. I just want to shout at her, "No. No it did not. Your daughter's legs took her...

    Evolve Returns to Steam as a Free-to-Play Title

    I think I would be more excited for this overall if there hadn't already been massive content paywalls attached to the full-price pay version. I can't even imagine what kind of anti-consumer blasphemies they have planned now that it's "free" to play. I say it every time I see something like...

    What game (or games) would you have liked to have turned out perfectly?

    Now that I think about it, Brutal Legend is probably my runner up. I'm not even a huge metal or rock fan, but the game had such an amazing style it was hard to not be swept up in the enthusiasm. I personally didn't even mind the RTS portions much, though I admit it's a definite point of...

    What game (or games) would you have liked to have turned out perfectly?

    As long as they're not hampering anything critical, I think a few flaws can give a game more character. Besides, even if everything was perfect, people would still find something to complain about...including being perfect.

    What game (or games) would you have liked to have turned out perfectly?

    Don't worry about the games being truly, objectively bad like Unlimited SaGa undeniably was. Just a cursory glance, during a bit of masochistic curiosity, showed me there was at least one misguided soul who thought that blasphemous font of putrescence warranted a perfect ten. A TEN. That is a...

    What game (or games) would you have liked to have turned out perfectly?

    In the wake of certain recent games that haven't quite lived up expectations, I find myself wondering... What if things had gone differently? What if the devs got halfway through crafting their massive pile of horrible ideas, shady practices or non-existent quality assurance procedures and just...

    2K Finally Announces Bioshock: The Collection

    Likely the effort required for a small portion of one of the three games. Besides, the multiplayer in Bioshock 2 was largely considered to be superfluous, and not a terribly popular addition in general. I say this as someone who both dearly loves Bioshock 2, and really, really liked the multiplayer.

    The Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC Launches Today

    Not mine, but relevant: While it seems that there needs to be more research done in terms of aerodynamics, the Marcy Space Program (M.S.P.) does indeed look promising.

    The Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC Launches Today

    Well, I know what I'm going to be testing tonight - and yes, I have some strong feelings about Sanctuary's resident master complainer. Who doesn't? I mean, all she does is pace around with her nose in the air, constantly whining about everything being broken - all the while doing nothing but...

    The Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC Launches Today

    Now, while I do find myself somewhat underwhelmed by the DLC so far - especially when they even brought up one of the best, Shivering Isles - I can't say I haven't got my money's worth. I've greatly enjoyed Far Harbor so far, though I'll admit I'm taking it slow and really taking it in. The...
