"Never on PS3" my...something!

40d ago ... Team Meat did it again. I’m pretty sure you all know about the clusterfunk of a story Beefjack posted about Team Meat’s new game announcement. Of course, the blunder about the new game being Super Meat Boy 2 notwithstanding from Beefjack, the issue became again the other major thing that came from a Twitter post where Beefjack got this info from: Team Meat reiterated the whole “Super Meat Boy w...

We shouldn't stop people from jailbreaking if it doesn't infringe our own rights!

266d ago ... I think we are at a sort of impasse: how to respond to such things as piracy and jailbreaking and such. I’ve been called every derogatory thing because of pure speculation as to where my stance actually is on this issue. If you care about little else than to defend your favorite gaming company like some kind of blind fanboy, then I suggest that you turn back now, because I’m not going to val...

This is the part where we blame Sony

292d ago ... It’s been known for a while that the Playstation Network has been down for some time due to a major hacking issue, with Sony’s transparency and accused negligence brought into question. Yes, we get it: hacking is bad and should not be taken lightly. However, there are two things that must be addressed with knowing that. One, Sony deserves to be called out and should be called out, and two, S...

To N4G: Please grow up before debating me about Geohot

337d ago ... Okay, yeah, I have my opinions about the Geohot hack, and I'm sure you do. Okay, I'm fine with that. If that's what you think, then by all means. If you think he needs to pay up, then go ahead and think that! All I have ever asked when debating me is that you, one, say things with facts to show that you know what you are talking about, and two, you act like an adult by not telling me to conf...

N4G Geohot outrage, for the most part, is just fanboys being fanboys.

353d ago ... I don’t think you have to even not been on any gaming sites in a month or so to know that several gamers treat the recent Geohot vs. Sony controversy as a hot button issue. Meaning that if it gets brought up, you have people with venomous opinions, which you will hear about with insults directed at you if you challenge their beliefs in any way. It’s obvious that George Hotz has turned some head...

How I'd Make The Second "Other M" Better Than The First Already Is

468d ago ... Okay, confession time (and there are spoilers here, so those who haven’t played the game that doesn’t want to know what happens, leave now). I thoroughly enjoyed Metroid: Other M. Even though it’s not going to win Game Of The Year (that could be GT5 when it finally comes out), the most controversial Metroid game in recent memory was one I couldn’t put down in the wee hours of the night. The...

Who Needs Blu-Ray? How About Those You'd Screw Over From That Decision, MS?

508d ago ... I came home to see a very interesting article on N4G today. The topic: “MS: Who Needs Blu-Ray?” The title alone was a shock to me, given that there was the European Blu-Ray Disc Association that was telling Microsoft that they were welcome to join the ranks, and publishers like Capcom, Take Two, and Mercury Stream have expressed concerns about the format that the 360 has right now. According t...

Has the term "fanboy" become a four-letter word for "uncivil gamer"?

596d ago ... Let me explain why I think of it that way. When I was a teenager (forget how old I was), I lived two hours North of where the rest of my family lived. During that time, I was a HUGE Nintendo fanboy. My stepbro, however, was a Sega one. We both though our team's system was the better one (I loved my SNES, while he couldn't get enough Genesis). The fun is during car rides to and from the relative...

The Message Sent By Gabe and Sony's E3 Shocker

604d ago ... There is an underlining message with what we saw out of what could be the most talked about happenings at this year's E3. I am talking about the appearance of Gabe Newell at Sony's presser to announce that Portal 2 would be headed to the PS3. It was something that shocked all of us, given what Gabe has said in the past about the system, but in truth, should we be surprised? We all knew that, at...

5 Reasons Why a 360 Versus 13 will be a bad move

615d ago ... We all know by now that now infamous gaff that Wada made some weeks ago. It may have meant nothing, and we're more or less reading too much into it. But the mere thought that Final Fantasy Versus 13 may go multiplatform was met by a sea of negative response. It's not just N4G or just the Sony fanboys who are tired of the 360 people grabbing their third party exclusives instead of Microsoft addr...

Jim Sterling Does Classic Mistakes About "Sony Fanboys"

874d ago ... Recently, Destructoid did a rather damning editorial (or at least its lightning rod of controversy and hate that is Jim Sterling) about Sony fanboys being the worst bunch of fanboys. We disagree with him on a practical point (they're all annoying). However, Jim seems to want to do the classic mistakes that actually made us cringe worse than the BBC's Watchdog piece on the PS3 "YLoD"....

SPECIAL COMMENT: Square-Enix, stop this flip-flopping, breaking promises, and lying....NOW!!

1218d ago ... Square-Enix has flip-flopped too many times, and everyone is getting tired of this "multi-platform as long as Microsoft gets their way" behavior. There is light, however, but only if Square ends this behavior and treats all consoles equally.

SPECIAL COMMENT: The video game industry has passed Valve by?

1229d ago ... To quote a famous Avis commercial: Ever get the feeling some people just stopped trying? If the person who made that quote up looked at Valve, they would have answered their own question with not just the feeling, but the proof of such. With the latest revelation just yesterday by Valve's Doug Lombardi in an interview with Computer and Video Games, we can say that they HAVE stopped tr...

OBSERVATION: Think you know everything? Think again!

1256d ago ... The only constant in this generational console war is that there IS no constant. No one can predict anything anymore, and if they do, they jinx people instead. What's a gamer or analyst to do? Get comfortable and enjoy the ride!

OBSERVATION: A small way Sony can get an advantage...over NINTENDO!

1259d ago ... Here's an interesting way to get Sony a one up over Nintendo: By doing something similar to what Home will do, which is to give themselves something their competition cannot offer. The suggestion in this case: Full PSP connectivity with the PS3, including playing PSP games through the PS3 system and controller.

OBSERVATION: Doing your part.

1264d ago ... At least in the United States, many gamers have mixed thoughts about how "boring" politics is. However, I think it's important to know something about it. I'm wanting to inform you about why it's important to remember to vote, or to inform your family about the candidates. Why complain about anti-video game officials when you're not willing to DO anything about it? Here's a rundown of...

SPECIAL COMMENT: Sony, it's time to hit them, and hit them hard!

1264d ago ... Darkpower thinks it's time for Sony to fight fire with hotter fire. He says how much he's sick and tired of how Sony has forgotten it's fighting spirit of their beginnings, and delivers how Sony can show how much they have not changed, and why they shouldn't ignore the MS tricks or the calls of a genre drought going on.

SPECIAL COMMENT: Valve, why do you hate the video game industry?

1311d ago ... Valve has done everything in its power to tell PS3 owners of the Orange Box, even after the people have spoken with their petition and an open letter, than they don't matter. Which begs the question: Why is Valve wanting to continue on this path of conducting industry terrorism, and why do they insist on continuing this behavior about a system that has proven to become anything but the words th...

Special Comment - Who are your friends in the gaming media?

1345d ago ... In the wake of the Konami NDA issue and the rumors that were spread about MGS4, Darkpower has now realized that the select few that have had agendas, still, against the PS3 were exposed. Now it's time to discuss who is looking out for the consumer, and who is actually trying to make sure only one console is available on the market.

The spin machine doing a full 360...and it's not good in the least.

1429d ago ... The latest spin on the 360's defeat to the PS3 again in NFD sales has Darkpower thinking: This isn't the first spin, and a feature of that spin is damage control. Twelve lies (at least) have been told by Microsoft about the 360 in the span of two months. Something tells DP that this isn't a coincidence. From the sales to the hardware issues to GTA4, the lies pile up. Truths included in the tell...
