    VP Joe Biden Claims "No Restriction" Against Taxing Violent Games

    Taxing a video game for its violent content is a violation of the First Amendment right the Supreme Court levied against it. By taxing it for its content, you are actively saying "We want to punish people for this speech." People standing for developers for creating it and consumers for...

    Plants vs. Zombies 2 Invading Lawns This Summer

    Okay, I get what Teaser Trailers are there for. But cmon... Building hype over a title shot and a few YouTube memes is useless. It'd be interesting if they showed some gameplay, or something from the game. Without that though, ugh. Teaser trailers are useless.

    Trailers: Call of Juarez: Gunslinger - The Story of Silas Greaves Trailer

    Hmm, atleast they're going back to their roots. This is a title that I'd be overly caution in buying. The Cartel was a bit ambitious in its goals of being a narrative about Mexican Drug Cartels and the horrors they commit. Ambitions sullied by their lack of research and disrespect towards the...

    Duke Nukem Forever Remade as Duke Nukem 3D Mod

    I dunno, rewinding the game back into retro territory is a good thing. But I don't think you can really redeem a game that pokes fun at rape, is shamelessly misogynistic for the sense of being misogynistic (instead of a parody of the pop icons Duke was designed to parody) , and just overall...

    The Big Picture: The Boot, Part Two

    I like some of your points bob, but I have to disagree largely on two that a lot of people are also harping on. 1. Harry Potter reboot - you mention a trilogy. Making the movies only hit the talking points would reduce each of the movies down to about an hour or less - and reducing the mythos...

    Xbox IllumiRoom Projector Splashes Game Content All Over Room

    This is perfect! I remember thinking to myself, "You know what? I just spent a boatload of cash on a new, high definition television set. What I really want from my games is to bleed elements off of my TV in a low resolution manner." I like games. I like games cheap. This is just an expense...

    Rumor: Next-Gen Xbox Will Cost $300-$500, Be Always-Online

    Even if people have a "stable internet connection", I'm willing to bet that it goes out once or twice a year. Even in tons of first world countries, the internet is not as stable as you think due to: A. A crumbling infrastructure and B. Uncontrollable weather patterns. The outrage with...

    Update: Metal Gear Solid V Reveal Trailer Gets Surreal

    I don't discount it at all. However, I'm confused. Wasn't Snake supposed to have a bad case of the dead? How did he get his life extended by 9 years? Is that Snake, or a clone, or his evil brother Blake? I'm not a fan of trailers like this. Prerendered aside, they have a music overlay to...

    Update: Metal Gear Solid V Reveal Trailer Gets Surreal

    The fuck did I just watch? That wasn't so much a teaser trailer as it was an acid dream that takes place in a hospital. I mean, I guess it was kinda cool. But it showed nothing about the game, other than a few prerendered cinematics. Which were impressive. More power to you if this was...

    Blizzard Plans Big Warcraft PvP Changes

    Their putting a cap on gear? Essentially saying "If you've farmed better gear than this, fuck you?" And they're getting rid of Resilience, but not really? I've got to ask - why? The classes need tweaked and rebalanced more than the PVP system does. The problem with WoW's PVP is its become...

    Tomb Raider Writer Halved Lara's Kills For Narrative's Sake Update: No, She Didn't

    I liked the new Tomb Raider. I'll be honest, I LOVED the new Tomb Raider. But it wasn't what I was expecting. My problem with it is it was afraid to be different. It was too shooting and action heavy - which not only contradicts the narrative, but also felt out of place. The game could have...

    Rumor: More Evidence Suggests Always-Online For Next Xbox

    So, let me get this straight. They're shipping us a console that will inconvenience the end user, incorporating the worst aspects of PC gaming without any of the benefit, with a forced motion controller? MicroSoft won me over from Sony this generation with the 360. Looks like if this is true...

    Tomb Raider Review - An Icon Reborn

    The only thing I ask of Susan is: How does this game hold up compared to the previous titles? Is it similiar, fresh, etc? I've been people panning this game as great, but no one says "yeah, they've gotten rid of the annoying crap like lineal ledges that sometimes are climbable and other times...

    EA Asserts Customers Enjoy Microtransactions

    It doesn't effect us? It actually does. The inclusion of micro transactions fall into 2 categories. First one: The shoe horned. I'll use Oblivion as an example. Horse Armor. Micro-transactions were not an integral part of game play, and thus, unimportant. They were just a blind cash grab...
