Bioshock games sell because Kevine Levine is a genius. The worlds are amazing and the story is incredible. Elizabeth's boobs aren't the seeling point. It's like that of any outfit in that time period. Can a pretty girl not get targeted?

Tonester9254487d ago

How many boob articles are they going to have on here!?

PixL4487d ago

I don't mind boob articles if they attach boobs to them. I wonder how many E3 precogs do we have to handle. It's another 5 months to go and they just keep coming.

BiggsnWedge4487d ago

Ah I guess IGN needed to get on the boob train

tplarkin74487d ago

It's not a cheap marketing tactic, it's the reality of what men like. Men like pretty women, not ugly ones.

Gazondaily4487d ago

That is true (although not all gamers are men).

I find it funny that IGN comments on such an issue yet they, as a gaming site, have Babeology and other such erection inducing material on their site.

Off-topic: What happened to Samurai Jack?! That was one of the best cartoons ever! I guess Aku won in the end :(

undercovrr4487d ago

I don't know, I think Samurai Jack finally got tired of facing AKU over and over again. Man probably wanted to settle down with a family and a son to teach samurai to.

boobs are way over-rated, i dont mean that they're not awesome, i mean people make way to big of a deal about them in games, who cares if their big or small, does it really effect your game that much?????

Since when did anything with women showing boobs = misogyny? It looks like some people have no idea what the word means.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
