It is no doubt that sooner or later all games will be accessible through the web browser. There will be no need to download, no need to install and whether you have a playstation or iPhone you will be able to play the game.
So, the new year is upon us, and throughout 2010, I saw, heard, and read a lot of things that really concerned me. Gamers have some really bad habits that hurt the hobby, maybe more than they realize. I want to see some of those habits change in 2011 — for the good of gamers, gaming, and its standing among other forms of entertainment. So, at the fresh start of a fresh year, it’s worth calling some of the bad stuff out so as not to repeat it.
This week in Platform Nation's STIR - Chris Forbis examined the 2011 Gaming Resolution of the PN writers and vows to stop wasting money on video games by calculating what Gamerscore costs.
Just because you didn't get all the achievements the game has to offer doesn't mean you didn't get your moneys worth. Trying to equate your gamerscore/trophies to the value of the game just seem completely irrelevant. Seems you trying to create an equation to a problem that doesn't exist.
The only game that i actually got all the Achievements was Assassins Creed 2. Other game that i'm close to 100% is Mass Effect 2, only 2 are missing.
If any of those guys also play PS3 games, I guess they will never want to play the earlier PS3 games that don't have any trophy.
If any of them is planning to get a PS3, will they play great games such as Metal Gear Solid 4 that has no trophy?
The reason I use PS3 games as an example is gamers who love to play games for achievements and trophies probably will skip early PS3 games that have no trophy.

We all get drunk as a skunk, lie to ourselves and pretend that ‘this is going to be our year’ or be just as melodramatic on the other side of the fence say bone idle shit like ‘resolutions are stupid’… and your right, why would anyone want to better themselves?
Seeing as it’s the time of year for change I figured I’d put myself in the position of the people I love the most (games developers and publishers) and do their resolutions for them.
I’m a nice guy like that.
I think it would be taking more than five years for this to happen...
Right now all I see on the web is facebook/zynga games and they suck.
Google invested 100$ Million in Zynga, can we expect better graphics?
There was the release of Quake 3D for browsers with OPEN GL Web drivers.
A good start :D
I love watching gaming change as long as it's for the better...
a game that makes you care. where everything you do has importance, where npc's know you and react to your presence and your past actions in a realistic way. not omg he is a murderer run away or he's a hero let's follow him aimlessly. where you can walk into a town and see people doing work things change over time. make it mmorpgish where seasons change, and make holidays to reflect reality thats what i want made.
