If you really, truly believe that these conventions are about the games and not about sexuality, remind yourself of all the fluff on N4G and other sites about the sexism happening at E3. About the scantily clad women at booths and the like? Who do those women cater to? I wonder...
Incidentally, guys, straight people ARE welcome, it isn't an exclusive event. The fact that this will cater to gay people is completely different than turning away straights at the door, whi...
There's a really excellent article about why this is important.

"Oh, and when you ask where your straight convention is, when you throw your entitled hammer around and demand that straights be catered to by the videogame industry ... well ... you know how infantile that sounds, right? You sound exactly like the...
I think the problem is that Resident Evil 6 is trying to be too many things in an effort to appeal to a broader audience. RE5 showed them that people like action games and action games sell more than survival horror games. Survival horror is a niche market. Capcom likes dollar signs more than happy fans.
Capcom knows they're trying to shove something down their fans' throats that they don't want. That's why they packed so much into this game. Four confirm...
There's not much you can do about a closed mind. You'll wear yourself out trying.
Links or it didn't happen. Even then, that's dubious.
Escape Plan is a fun little game. Very addicting, too.
I dislike how Capcom isn't releasing a collector's edition of RE6 in North America. RE fans more than likely have all of the games available in the Anthology/Archives bundle.
Capcom is going all-out for other regions, but North America gets a giant middle finger.
That's not awesome.
There's a difference between throwing in achievements, and then throwing in achievements that you actually have to work for.
Not a fan of unoriginal achievements/trophies that you get for completing a level, or watching the credits. They lose their appeal when you don't have to actually work for them.
By your logic, you're a sweaty, socially awkward dork, just like the rest of the gaming community.
As far as Resident Evil games go, none of the games from 4 on are your traditional Resident Evil games. The point being? The series has evolved. That doesn't mean people shouldn't be excited about the next one.
How could you get disagrees for asking a question? Bunch of haters here.
It also appears that this is not available in Canada. Checking out the BB Canada site, I don't see anything relating to it. Sadness.
Bring Twin Snakes to PS3/360
You can't really review a game by today's standards. You always have to take into consideration the fact that it's an old game, that the technology that powers our games has changed dramatically. So to put it bluntly, you could have said that Max Payne has not stood the test of time.
Incidentally, if you wanted to be descriptive, describe the title and its characteristics in the first two paragraphs. If people have to read halfway through the review just to get...
Good online journalism is a careful balance of attracting people to your site while trying to maintain your own credibility to keep them coming back. It's hard to consistently write quality pieces, particularly for small sites. A lot of these are people who aren't professionally trained and are often times doing it out of the love of gaming.
The sites that offer the sensationalist headlines with little content deserve to crash and burn as a hard lesson on how it'...
I think the issue here is that game devs don't want to talk because of the competitive nature of the industry. It's called protecting your investment. The investment you spent hundreds if not thousands of manhours on. It's called building up hype for your product so that it'll sell come release date.
Dead Space 1 and 2 breathed fresh life into a dying genre. It's got the teeth that Resident Evil 5 didn't have. Additionally, there are other settings, other than snowy landscapes. And it's been said time and time again that the CO-OP CAN BE TURNED OFF.
That's right. You don't have to play with an AI character either. Research, people. It'll save you a lot of egg on your face.
Thanks for the giant middle finger, Capcom...
"We're offering you what you probably already have. Deal with it."
They should at least give us free DLC.
I actually read "Final words revealed for New Super Mario Bros 2."
I was more disappointed than I should have been.
Not a single mention to Mario for any jumping events? C'mon, the man was world renowned in Super Mario RPG for his jumping skills alone.
Snake for CQC - I mean wrestling.
Chris Redfield would be great for shot put, but I don't think that gigantic boulder was legal.
@ Dragon Knight
"race, gender, creed, sexual orientation are irrelevant."
You can't tell me that you honestly believe that when people game, they enter a utopia where personal bias and deep-seated hatred suddenly disappear. Get real, man.
Gaming is as much a community as it is an activity. Have you ever picked up a controller and joined the online multiplayer community as a gay person? You'd better not tell anyone, you...
