It's too late for me to temper yet more of this doom-and-gloom talk, but the following two points should be noted: 1. Look beyond the raw numbers! This is more a reflection of the end of the holiday shopping rush. The 3DS' sales also dropped 50% in that same week, similar to the Vita's. 2...

Yes, one that is completely under IW's control, and one that allows them to stifle any dissent or content they don't approve or want you to pay for. And before you ask me why I'm not complaining about Battle.net, everything shown so far indicates that Starcraft 2 won't be abandoning the browser...

Also another tip: If the site you're applying to has community functions, building a presence there is one of the best ways to catch their attention. Oh, and make soft copies of all your major pieces for any website you DO end up writing for. If it's not a huge site you never know when...

Still, that was a rather crass thing to do on Sega's part simply waiting for day one to pass before actually confirming the delay. I don't know the circumstances of the memo, or whatever reason they decided to delay the game, but they won't be able to avoid the comparisons to Mass Effect...

Damn straight. Of course, I just cobbled together a DX11 rig, so I have a vested interest :) As for retail, for PC games I try to avoid it as much as possible. I have a 1TB hard drive for a reason (besides porn). In fact, I'm hoping that Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 show up on Steam (or...

I for one support the decision to map "jump" to up (though I use the classic controller, which might make a difference). The difference here is that combat doesn't work in quite the same way as other brawlers. You don't mash a button to rack up hit combos, but rather hold down "attack" and...

This sort of thing happens regularly in the context of visual novels, eroge, and so-called "dating sims." While they barely qualify as games by many standards and are more often than not actual pornography, they much more regularly than any other part of the game industry tackle sex in...

Right, and like it or not, violence, or at least violent games, demand more attention from the player. One might think that the player would be distracted from the ads, but the violence embeds the entire situation more fully in the mind, making it easier to recall all portions of the...

That's great and all, but it should never take the place of a developer providing a finished product. It's wonderful that gaming has diversified to the point of our being able to remake a game to play the way we want it to play, but I don't want it to get to the point where all developers do is...

Does this apply to people who are getting the PC version? Because given Obsidian's history, Alpha Protocol will be a buggy mess on day one, and patches will inevitably arrive on the PC first. Plus, if these weapons use in-game assets PC owners can probably just spawn the items in using the...

For Ayane, that's a trade I'm willing to accept.

All of this reads a little like the Hays code or CCA regulations.

I don't think what you're proposing, that clarity of vision, is possible anymore with the 360 and PS3, namely because neither platform was designed with the motion controller as central to the concept. The Wii was. Without the remote and nunchuck, you don't have a Wii, even if you do have a...
