Do want! Sony always makes sexy products, and cellphone/PSP would be so epic. I'd happily trade in my iPhone, especially if it had access not only to PSP games but Android market as well (which if it's running Android 3.0, it should!)

Maybe it's not about the score, but it's about what's in the reviews? Personally, I use Metacritic and READ a lot of the reviews not just look at the numbers. Sometimes Metacritic reminds me of The View (and yes, Star Jones is totally IGN), and it can get stupid, catty, and opinionated without...

I've always kind of viewed Bungie like I see Blizzard--they take time to make the best damn game they could. It seems to me the only time that didn't happen was when Microsoft started jumping on their backs. Every time I bought a Halo game, it felt like an investment, since I knew Bungie...

Here's an idea--make a better game that people want on day 1. You can't exactly buy used if used copies don't exist. The only exception I see with that: games that don't meet expectations. You buy it thinking it's one thing, and then you realize it's not as great as it was hyped up to be. I...

So I recently bought a PS3 (which I'm loving), and I'm trying to round out my gaming library for the system. I was thinking about buying MAG, but with Halo Reach right around the corner, I'm trying to decide if it's going to be worth my while. How similar are the two games, and are they...

I think that's the problem with a lot of gamers. They just assume that it is the basic writing, but the mechanics of videogames dictate that the writing has to be something different entirely. I feel like the whole industry's design philosophy is still off the mark. We haven't really...

I said writers, not screen writers. Everyone's focusing on the leaps and bounds of the technological aspects of videogames, but the writing has barely budged. Every storytelling medium needs its own style of writing; you can't just take a writer from one genre and put him in something else...

Maybe the shoddy storylines have something to do with the fact that most gaming studios feel that they don't need a dedicated writing team. Or it could have something to do with how male-dominated the industry seems to be.

Theoretically, yes, I should be able to compare it. But I thought processors weren't all about numbers and about the type. I appreciate the sarcasm; I'm going back to my meal of applesauce and raisin bran Thanks, ComeDown

Hi guys, really simple question: my computer is fairly old and I just want to make sure I'll be able to run Starcraft 2. My specs: Intel Pentium D 3.0 GhZ (2 CPUs) 4 GB Ram GPU: GeForce 7600 GS (512 MB) OS: Windows XP My main concern is the processor and GPU. Since I don't game a lot on...

Another thread like this that has a confirmed MS statement? I thought they were all rumored threads. Fail, sorry!

The news broke earlier today on IGN. You can read the article here: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/110/1106913p1.html (I'm not going to go into the details, you can read the damn thing) Personally, the $149 price sucks, even if it is bundled with a game, but then I noticed the $300...

With AC 2 I thought it was crap they made you pay for that add on. Same thing with Resident Evil 5 and to some extent Mass Effect 2. What I was saying would work more for shooters and other things like that, where you buy the parts you want. Or, like what they are planning on doing for Fable...

If you sell me a game for >$5 bucks and then charge me DLC that opens the game up to a MAXIMUM of $60, I wouldn't care. In fact, that'd be awesome. Think of how many people wouldn't bother buying the single player unlock for Modern Warfare 2? If you charge me $60 and then charge me money to...

What is he going to do with it once he finishes it? I hope he goes to children birthday parties and scares the sh*t out of little Johnny, who just had to have a Halo-themed party.
