Good article, but this has been going on longer than the leveling... having started with Street Fighter (the first one), I must have played a dozen different iterations in the arcades and own another dozen for various game systems. Yeah, there are lots of differences between SF2 and MvC3, but...

lol @ people comparing glitching to theft. The author bought his game to have fun & it's his to do with as he sees fit. If he wants to use the disk as a plate for burritos, fine. If he wants to glitch it, fine. He had a ton of fun playing with his friends and he isn't hurting any of you, so...

I see your point, but it isn't that clean an association, especially because people tend to forget why things used to be intuitive - such as the lack of reflection. Western vampires don't have reflections because they don't have souls, which was an entirely sensible, logical explanation at one...

Um. You're going to have a tough time explaining it to her... Marisol Valles Garcia attracted worldwide attention five months ago when she took over the job of Police Chief (when the article was written); a lot less attention was paid when she went missing earlier this month. The horrors of...

Sadly my wife gets no enjoyment from video games. She lets me play them far more than I should, though, and feeds and waters me while I do, so it's fine. My daughter, on the other hand, is a BLAST to play with and my son will get there soon... Actually, one of the funniest things I've ever...

First, I disagree with your characterization of Pan's Labyrinth. While I agree that the ad is deceptive, first, the ad is full of men walking around in military uniforms, and as such strongly hints at a military plot element; second, the "dark fantasy" does appear and delivered 100% on my...

Funny no one's mentioned Eternal Darkness on the GC. Yes, it came out a year later, but 4th-wall breaking was pretty vicious in that as well... IMO, even nastier. It was also random, so you could play one or two times and never have it happen and then on the third playthrough hit the awesome...

Excellent article, but I just want to point out that I had a different initial impression... as a big Ico fan, I was blown away when Wanderer nuked the shadows in the beginning. That fight would have utterly destroyed Ico, but Wanderer beat them in a single move. As Ico was about a (mostly)...

My friends & I were avid 3 & 3.5 edition players who tried 4th edition for over a year before we gave up on it, and what killed us were the balance and the emphasis on melee combat. Everything was perfectly balanced, which sounds good on paper but is boring as hell in actual play. Fighting a...

I modified my first PC years ago & it was tons of fun. I rebuilt it a couple of years ago as a game machine and it took a while but I also enjoyed it and it was a beast. But a month ago when I started having some problems with it, I went online to look around and realized I didn't want to deal...

I love this game, one of my favorite on the 360, but I agree that the plot is nonsensical. Skippable cutscenes minimize that, though. My main problem is with the slow combat. Yes, the learning curve is a little steep compared to some other games, but with practice you can combo...
