My Opinion on EA's Bob Summerwill Tweet-Attack

3d ago ... . . . Adam Orth made history a few months ago, with the infamous "Deal with it" remark he spouted when asked about the supposed always-online functionality that would be in the next-XBOX, a feature that has now been confirmed to be null. Now, yet another high-in-position employee has said something so undeniably stupid, you think they just drank an entire can of "Trollaid" and now they're on fu...

The Death of CoD Competitive (PC)

50d ago ... The console competitive scene is thriving. An upcoming $1 million tournament. There is everything to play for. The PC competitive scene is dying. League play in tatters; only occasionally breaking the 100 player mark on Champions Series. The last resistance of competitive players playing PUGs and scrims. Now a lot of people will not care at all about Call of Duty anymore. A respectable de...

Trophy Tuesdays (2/12/13)

97d ago ... Oh to hear the satisfying little tone of a new trophy increasing my PSN score by a tiny fraction of a percentage point. To someone who isn't a gamer (and even to some who are), it's very difficult to explain the tenacity and dedication with which many Playstation, Xbox, and Steam gamers pursue these seemingly useless little trinkets. Just to get an idea of how far a gamer will go for these digi...

Grand Theft Auto V | a Fan's Impressions

184d ago ... Warning: may contain spoilers for those who have not kept up with the latest news and videos. Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for the fifth generation in the infamous, controversial, and bloody brilliant sandbox action-adventure franchise. Before I get too far into this, let me first start off by saying that my impressions are not strictly fan-based; I do have some understandable con...

Clinton Attacks Video Games

203d ago ... Although conservative outlets such as Fox News tend to get more flack and attention for having anti-video game sentiments, there are those on the left who also seem to misunderstand video games. Hillary Clinton provides a good example of how this anti-video game sentiment seems to be a problem on both sides of the aisle. Somewhat infamous for starting an anti-video game coalition in congress...

Where is GTA 2099?

262d ago ... After seeing various news stories, trailers, and other assorted fluff about Ubisoft Montreal's Watch Dogs, I found myself wondering about something. Why aren't there more open world games set in the future? We have Assassin's Creed, wich has gone up to 900 years into the past. This is part of a framework story set later this year. Two months into the future isn't exactly what I'm referring t...

Tired of this Schmitt Episode I: The Obvious Menace

370d ago ... The beginning of this year has already started out quite poorly for infamous game publisher Electronic Arts (EA) in regards to popularity. While sales have still been fairly admirable for the company’s stockholders, ire from millions of fans and detractors alike have been heard around the US-possibly the globe-thanks to winning The Consumerist’s “Worst Company in America” award. Besides the o...

My issues with Infamous 2’s good ending

381d ago ... I know this isn’t exactly timely and I’m sure the internet has mentioned this before, but I just beat Infamous 2 and chose the good ending. I think this deserves to be talked about. Huge spoilers are below. So consider yourself warned if you’ve been slower to this series than me and don’t want things ruined. For anybody who hasn’t played Infamous 2 but has continued to read anyways, here is...

Why I think there should NOT be a FF7 remake

404d ago ... Hey guys and girls. For the longest time one of the hottest topics on the web is the hope of a Final Fantasy 7 re-make. I admit I saw that infamous tech demo years back and it blew my mind. Of course people got confused and branded it as a trailer which pretty much resulted in a bunch of fanboys running wild when they realised it was simply a tech demo and Square-Enix had no intentions of a rem...

Does RAGE Really Need Deathmatch?

650d ago ... It has been stated several times that id Software's upcoming RAGE will not feature the traditional Deathmatch (DM) and Capture the Flag (CTF) modes normally expected out of an FPS. There have been gamers, most of which we could assume are id-faithful, have reacted somewhat negatively or shocked. But should they be? Apparently, id felt that the co-op and vehicular multiplayer works much better...

PSN Appreciation Program - What should you get?

721d ago ... With the recent news of the PlayStation Store going live this week I thought I'd help out my fellow man by giving out some advice on what to get. I have played/own most of these titles so I thought I could give my two cents for what they're worth. These are listed in the order of what I believe to be the best choices. 1. inFAMOUS: This is by far the best game they are offering. Superher...

Time travel in media: A good concept? Or just confusing as hell? [Spoilers]

724d ago ... [THIS WILL HAVE SPOILERS SO READ A YOUR OWN RISK!!!] Okay, I have a few things to get out of the way: No I haven't played all games involving time travel or watched all other pieces of media with time travel so feel free to pitch in in the comments with any evidence that supports a point but I just want to look a little bit at time travel in games and how it compares with time travel in ot...

EU PSN Welcome Back Pack; My Reaction

735d ago ... I'm willing to forgive Sony on this one as in this modern day of age, nothing is unhackable and especially by Anonymous, sure some mistakes were made, but it was exactly these kind that made Sony and the PS3 the way it was improving before this whole mess. I am willing to forgive and the fact that somewhere my details are lurking about on the internet and checking my money twice as much as I us...

I'm a fanboy apparently

745d ago ... I've recently sold my Xbox 360, making me a PS3 only gamer which I am happy about. I had my usual look on N4g and seen a thread showing two direct feed screen shots of infamous 2, to me they looked jaggy. I played infamous one and that game suffered from the same problem. Here's my exact comment "very jaggy like the first one" Too me that is j...

GDC: inFAMOUS 2's User Generated Content to "let players into that sandbox"

811d ago ... At this afternoon's inFAMOUS 2 presentation and demo the big reveal was user-generated content. Citing the problem with inFAMOUS as "at some point, it ended" the possibility of limitless missions created by players was introduced. Sucker Punch's development director Chris Zimmerman and designer Karl Deckard revealed the full-featured tools - with the same assets and behaviors as those used t...

Buying a console a few years into it's "lifecycle"

826d ago ... Have you ever bought a console years after it was first released? What are the very first things you do? Well, for me I have done this numerous times. My Wii and PS3 were late purchases, only my PSP and 360 were day 1(ish). The first processes into owning a new console are extremely daunting. You start by researching exactly what you'll need, and then you set it up. Those first steps are...
