Since the author was so bold as to include their invitation code in a "review".. I figure all bets are off.

I still think GTA 2 is better than Chinatown as far as that perspective of GTA goes. Sure Chinatown was custom built for the DS, but a GTA 2 port could have worked just as well. (Please don't bring up the pathetic gameboy color port).

Civ Nights is by far the largest and best total conversion mod. Not sure if it has been redone for BNW yet though.

Smaller studios, smaller projects, ground up approach to user involvement in the development process.

You could make enough to support your family by making a high quality movie you are proud of that is accepted by the "hardcore" movie crowd. Or you can crank out an 11 part movie series for kids about talking trains using the worst CGI anyone has ever seen and make millions. Its your call man, sometimes the…

Original ideas never pay out!! Quick, copy that wildly successful original indie game!

Eh it can't be that hard to take the critisim. You work as a telemarketer you are going to take some crap. You sell crack to kids, people are going to take issue. No matter what "underhanded" business scheme you are using to try and fleece folks... you should expect the reaction that you KNOW you deserve.

...Or they will make original games and develop a strong user base by allowing gamers to be involved in the development of the game. (Minecraft, FTL, Shadowrun, a zillion other alpha access games, mod to full game conversions and the likes)

Not all free to play are created equal. A game like LoL... where anything that is not cosmetic can be earned through play is pretty much the ideal game. Pay barriers, the dreaded "energy", and other unbalancing obstacles that make F2P in to Pay2Win are the cancer. The cancer isn't winning yet though. Not while…

Cool design, but the practicality of it is... questionable. First off, all those parts folding over each other, add leaves, twigs, dirt, etc; It would lead to some major failure rates. Second, that is a MASSIVE structure for what looks like 30% solar panel coverage at best. Form over function doesn't scream Volvo…

If you travel a lot and the price of toothpaste is an issue... then you probably already know that most every hotel will provide free toothpaste at the front desk.

Agreed. Amazing game.

Who cares what the founders of PA think about sexuality? PA is about games. Stop trying to make everything a debate. Why should the two completely separate discussions be forced together?

Silly complaint, silly argument. Should we pay musicians that enjoy playing? Should we play athletes? How about hobbyists that can make a living from their hobby?

I'll take Dune over the watered down clone that is Rex any day, although I'll admit the alliance portion is a bit better in Rex.

Yea and that game was playable when they were handing out refunds.

Good call. Everyone should just let EA squeeze out DRM crippled versions of our favorite series until they have all been destroyed. Why complain right?

*shrug* I don't have an android.

Maybe they were genuinely curious? Either way, your exaggerated response is pretty telling. Much like your perception of the original comment, you are looking for a fight.

Yes. This and an opposite article were posted on gizmodo months ago.
