    Sony: PlayStation Plus has Almost 21 Million Paid Subscribers

    On the PS3, Playststion Plus gave players access to an impressive catalogue of high quality, full-sized games at a significant discount or for no additional charge. On the PS4, Playstation Plus just holds our multiplayer ransom with no benefits at all beyond promotional demos.

    AAA Games Have Stopped Innovating

    The last three years has actually seen a dramatic increase in female and homosexual protagonists--two sorely underrepresented avatars in videogames. The problem though, I contend, is that publishers, whether indie or AAA, seem to prefer that the two be mutually inclusive.That is, most female...

    I Never Did Like Yoshi's Island

    You can unlock 1 bonus and 1 secret level per map by 100%-ing it. Remember those question mark squares? They flip around after 100%-ing every level on the map. Croshaw forgot, and so did all of you. If that's still worth complaining about, then that's the part he should be criticizing...

    Wait...they're canning Croshaw AND Chipman, then? Why even come here, then?

    Jimquisition: EA Access ... Denied

    Another excellent analysis by Jim, I would have put more emphasis on the carving-up of content though (I know Jim talks about it a lot, but that's the name of the scheme, after all). Minimizing production (content) and maximizing pre-emptive cash flow (pre-orders and subscriptions) is the Holy...

    Indiegogo-Funded Satire Dear White People Heads to Theaters

    HA! Excellent observation, I've been saying this for years! Marx thought he was so clever about "class warfare", but he ignores the Indidual's irreducible role in the primal social struggle, which is satisfying your own ego. Life is a competetion and for any creature to survive in life, it...

    The Last of Us Remastered Will Have Cross-Buy Add-On Content

    I played the PS3 version and have not seen A SINGLE IMAGE that confirms the claims made by Naughty Dog that yhe PS4 port has sitnificant--if any--graphical or processing improvements. Nearly all screenshots released were from cutscenes featured in the original. Also, how can a press release...

    Archie Will Die Taking A Bullet Meant For Gay Friend

    You can be sure they're not concerned with storytelling for how Archie goes out. I've cringed at those dopey Archie comics covers in the grocery checkout since I was 5 yrs old. For a 50 yr old comic, ida thought they might want to say somthing more about Archie's relationship with the people...

    Escapist News Now: Murdered: Soul Suspect Gameplay Demo

    this game's gonna be a flop, I don't think they filled this game in any further than the original, half-baked premise. Too bad, I really liked "The Frighteners", this seemed like it could have been a darker version of that...or "Ghosts", which I never saw.

    Escapist News Now: Batman Arkham Knight Gameplay Trailer

    you have to be pretty gullible to believe any part of this was "gameplay". I saw two quick-time events and a quarter second of Batman running down an alleyway from behind at the very end of the video. The rest was "in-engine [CUTSCENES!!!!]". Do games journalists buy that, or are they just...

    Escape to the Movies: Heaven Is For Real - Doesn't Make Much Sense

    I swear to god, if that douchey Lunchables ad spreads itself over the video I'm trying to watch one more time, I'm going to find "Rob Dyrdek" and rip his dek off.
