    EA Predicts Star Wars: Battlefront Will Sell 13 Million Copies

    To be fair, considering the common person who plays games don't read gaming news, people still pre-order games, and many are excited for the new Star Wars movie, this estimate is not all that far off. They do boast that 9 million people played the beta, and people have been asking for a new...

    In your opinion, what give a game a replay value?

    I enjoy playing it. I have come back to Torchlight 2, a year since I've played. And I still find it fun. The thing is, I'm using mods, which still work. However these are the same mods I used since I last played. Sometimes a bit of change helps. With story in games, if the story is...

    How did you guys get into PC gaming ?

    Don Mattrick. "If you want to play offline, we have the console for you: the XBox 360." Or... I could just go to my PC and play games online or offline without paying extra. So there. Then again, I played back in the days of Tyrian and Warcraft 2. Don't helped me solidify my decision.

    Classics you can't get into

    Name a Nintendo IP, and I can't get into it. Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Star Fox, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, Punch Out, Pokemon, and ESPECIALLY Super Mario. I have no love for any of these games, expect for Super Mario RPG: Saga of the Seven Stars (it's called something else, but they should...

    Bloodstained is the Eighth Most Funded Kickstarter Ever

    And they said there was no interest in these types of games any more... This is awesome! Glad to have contributed to this, and I do hope it lives up to expectations. It was a rush, especially seeing how it met the initial goal of $500,000 within a few hours of starting. I now just have to...

    When Has a Game Made You Feel Absolutely Terrible? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

    I thank you for the reply. The thing is, I was told the same thing when RoS came about, and it still didn't keep my interest in the end. The game still made me mad. But again, thank you. OT: The only other time any game made me feel terrible was in making a decision between the Empire and the...

    Metroid....-vania?

    The term grew to prominence after Symphony of the Night, and many of the Castlevania games that came out were of the same style, mainly on handhelds. Since those were the first Castlevania games played by many people of that time, the style was attributed to Castlevania. From then, the term just...

    Let's beat a dead horse!

    Castlevania may never see the dark of night again... But I enjoyed it when the series went towards a more Metroid-style of game play. I remember getting Symphony of the Night, and that was one of the best games ever, especially on Playstation. The music was awesome, the gameplay was really...

    Games that built your Vocabulary

    Metal Gear Solid. Learned that MAD meant Mutually Assured Destruction. I'm sure I heard that in class somewhere, but it didn't stick with me until that game. "No wonder they called it MAD."

    When Has a Game Made You Feel Absolutely Terrible? *POSSIBLE SPOILERS*

    Diablo 3. It made me hate playing a game. And hate it long after playing it and putting it down. No game ever did that to me before. If I didn't feel like playing a game, I'd just leave it be and not give it another thought. But this game... This game... I'm still angry with myself...

    So You Want To Be a Game Developer?

    Living in the Peninsula, I have and had several friends and acquaintances who work in the games industry. I live between Playstation and EA. I have heard stories and seen these people. They have a passion for their work, but a life filled with many long hours, and no sense of job security until...

    So, Diablo III

    Play Torchlight 2. As a veteran of the Diablo series, I say play Torchlight 2. There is more build diversity with one character than with all 6 characters of Diablo 3 (and yes, I am being overly dramatic). At least with Torchlight 2 you don't have to be online. Or suffer. Diablo 3 is...

    Is The Dress Blue or White? Why The Internet Just Lost Its Mind

    THIS is what some people have been going crazy about? No wonder many people think there's a thin line between order and chaos. I thought it was a cat suit. (Personally, I can see why people would think it was white and gold. But it does depend on the picture...)

    How old is too old to be a gamer?

    OT: How old are you? Add 2 years. Then you are too old to play games. Then next year, add 2 more years. Then the next year, add 2 more years. And so on... (You're never too old. You can be too busy, or have interests change. But you're never too old.)

    What does it take to ruin a game for you?

    The protagonist is a jerk. Never got into God of War series because of that.
