Top 5 Reasons the Games Industry Hates You and how it's Making Them Rich (Reason #4)
32 minutes ago | by: Dont Panic
Since the first living creature emerged from the sea and began living on dry land there have been PR firms backed by major corporations trying to sell them something. Anything really, a little of this, a little of that mainly; but none are more feared and therefore successful (figure that one out) than two or three, or hell even nine products all wrapped around one main theme and sprinkled wit...

"Woe Of Gaming"
22 hours ago | by: LiQuiFiedArt
Hello Gamers,
I could go on and on about articles, blogs, forums and news i've read about this "Woe of Gaming". This is either brought upon by people who do not understand what 'growing up' entails OR they desire to re-live their childhood experiences and only honor 'nostalgia'. I can assure any under 20 year old gamer, the days of NES and before were not all as wonderful as people pretend the...

I Love N4G, but I hate most of its members...
1 day 5 hours ago | by: abczby
N4G is my gaming heaven. It is the only site I use anymore for gaming news and I just hope that some day, all of the fanboys will leave the site and go somewhere else. N4G would be so much better if I could just make a legitimate post or response to something without getting flamed by 50 12 year old kids Getting called an X-bot or a PS3 fanboy by 50 people who probably didn't ...

Neogaf Double Standards
4 days 8 hours ago | by: therealestgameruknow
Okay. I was over at Neogaf browsing the gaming discussion when I came across something that startled me. It seems that several Neogaf users were banned in a thread that complains about how console gamers are tired of being put down by PC gamers. All the people that were banned minus one homophobe were people that prefererd console gaming as opposed to PC gaming. While I,myself, am a PC gamer, I...

Top 5 Reasons the Games Industry Hates You and How it's Making Them Rich
4 days 8 hours ago | by: Dont Panic
For just a moment I want you to stop what you are doing, take a deep breath and look around you. If you’re like 95% of the people who would openly call themselves a gamer the scenario should look something like this. Your laptop is rested snugly on your stomach, you only have about 14% battery life left and you’ve already begun planning the treacherous journey over to the power socket for 20 m...

Will RE5 be a big stinker?
6 days 16 hours ago | by: Shnazzyone
I have played the resident evil games since their inception in the 90's
I braved the hoards of zombies and carefully managed my items to brave
any unforeseen developments in the storyline like any other gamer who
has enjoyed this pinnacle of the survival-horror genre.
In many of our eyes RE4 gave us what we have always wanted in the
resident evil game. The levels are more intense. The ...

When it was time to go home, I took a cab and met with this muslim guy, talked and talked, he was very nice. He seemed very interested...

Take-Two has definitely seen better times. As we all know by now, EA

earlier this year in the wake of the earthshattering
Activision-Blizzard merger. However, the mix of good and bad news for
the company continues. In their annual report, Take-Two revealed that
the company spent $11 MILLION of their own during the ...

As a former closed beta member, I got my hands on HOME a little long before many of you even logged in the virtual community. As you can imagine I was incredibly excited. Immediately after creating my avatar and downloading all of the different places in HOME I wandered around the community. I found people in small groups using voice chat and laughing. A few days later I sent a message to...

Following up on my last blog post on what home could have been and may yet still be by me releasing my nearly year-old post from Sony's Gamer Advisory Panel, I said that I may talk about issues from various consoles. Initially, I wasn't going to post this seeing that all it took was someone to follow the money trail, it takes no more than five or so minutes. Since I heard several people who a...

MMORPGs are Evil
16 days 15 hours ago | by: Danshir
Are MMORPGs evil? The answer may surprise you.
With the recent articles about torture in World of Warcraft (read here ) I have decided to investigate what other vices MMORPGs indulge themselves in. If MMORPGs
can stoop so low as to have you torture a fellow virtual human being,
than I doubt there is no low that the developers will have us sink to.
Probably for their own nef...
