I agree with Gilliand on the fox news anchor being fairly balanced. That seemed like a surprise to me too, I thought they would just feed, the also surprisingly well informed mom, more video games are evil/murder simulators/Jack Thompson bla bla bla...
But sadly, as always, Fox still bled conservativism and ^ stuff in under tones throughout the piece. I think it is great the mom wants to take an initiative in something to make the death of her son have more meaning but somet...
The halo series is no slouch when it comes to eggs either.
Halo CE
- Hashed 7 on top of the pistol
- Japanese Character meaning power on the bottom of the pistol
- hippo on the shotgun shell
- The letters MRL on Master Chief's boot
- M made in bullets with a heart shaped blood stain around it (Megg egg)
- Siege of Madrigal plays when getting to the central pillar on AOTCR
- Thirsty grunt
- REX wall

Now some real game industry blunders.
Microsoft being too prideful to offer a Blu-Ray player once they lost the HDDVD player. For the love of god Microsoft, you'll easily get back the money from the developers who will want to make better games exclusively for the 360.
Nintendo letting sega steal their analog stick/controller design and then letting PlayStation to steal their rumble technology. That is why no one knew about the Wii motion controller unti...
This article is about worst decisions in gaming history from the business perspective. If anyone actually read the article instead of just assuming its another chance to whine and moan about your enemy's console and why your console is so much better and why you hate everything.
So, these are all issues about decisions which have lost the company a lot of money or ended up destroying or badly hurting the image of a company. So no, DLC is not a bad decision, it's a g...
Every time a developing house partners with a big publisher people assume the publisher controls the developing house. There is a big difference in a publisher BUYING a developing house, and a developer partnering with a publisher. If bungie was bought by Activision then Activision would be the controlling company in charge of what games would be produced, when, and how much resources are devoted to those games. In the case of a partnership, the developer controls ALL OF THOSE THINGS. Act...
Mind you that list is a list of longest running or still running franchises which is what I think of when I see "Top Franchises of all Time"
Does Dynasty Warriors have one of the largest fan bases? No.
Does it factor heavily into pop culture? No
Has it impacted the gaming industry as a whole? No
Has it sold millions of copies? No - In fact I'd be surprised if all like 30 of them combined have sold the same as one Metal Gear game or Halo game)
<...
For every sensible comment in any of these flame war starters there is at least 30 "u suck, go die" comments. Heck these articles should be called kerosene for the incoherent, irrelevant, profanity, and flaming they start.
That being said, I agree with a few of the people who have commented on this. Coming up with a "Top 10 franchises of all time" list is a poor choice of words because it is very vague in reference. This person sort of mixes most mixed into ...
I love you internet hate squad. No matter how harmless the topic or insignificant the point you are trying to make is, you will always be there to hate. Everything from hating family guy, to hating MW2, to hating Microsoft, to hating Seth MacFarlene? And to people whinning about the product placement for Microsoft and not for playstation. You people don't watch enough tv. There have been playstation product spots and parodies since the system came out. Just about every sitcom in existenc...
I do not know what the fascination is with a perfect score and claims of bias when it comes to every hyped up game that comes out. Does everyone forget what the point of these scores are? Review scores are meant to provide the potential buyer a comprehensive idea of how a game plays and how fun it is. Any scores above 95 mean it is a game that is well worth buying. WHO CARES ABOUT THE DISPARITY FROM A 95 TO A 100. You want bragging rights for your game fine, talk about it in your blogs, b...
Every time one of these news items comes out comparing screen shots it instantly spawns a console war. As it has been pointed out, PS3 is a fine system which has great games for it. The console hardware does have the capacity to support better graphic games as artists can make more polygons and support more on screen characters if their engine makes full use of the PS3 hardware. HOWEVER, it is up to the engine to do that and not every game does. Just because the console can be more powerf...
Rarely, usually they just ruin what could have been a well formulated article.
