Micro-transactions?

And the Vita gets another mobile game to go with Joe Danger, convincing the world that they need one. Well, at least the Vita has something phones don't, remote play....right, RIGHT???

Designed by the Tekken Team, the demo takes you into a schoolgirl's room and lets you interact with her for a virtual summer lesson. It doesn't look like much studying is going on. Learning? No. Leering? Yes.

I felt like cracking open the ol' CS3 to take a crack at this.

The biggest takeaway SHOULD be that the story matters just as much as the talent, action and visuals. But I'm sure those in charge of other properties will simply add talking animals, vegetation a quirky soundtrack or maybe double down on grimdarkserious and wonder why they can't have nice things.

There is one male character that has had the colors of his outfit swapped. There are not four unique male characters. Everyone plays a different shade of Arno.

To say that women being treated shitty in games is a symptom of sexism is reductionist. Tropes are tropes because of how prevalent they are. Once they become a trope (in that case, by way of pervasive cultural sexism), then they're just lazy. If you use a trope with no voice or influence of your own on it, it's just…

Nintendo still takes the cake when it comes to awesome special versions of its hardware (see: every amazing 3DS), but the Wii U isn't anything special. And can you really deny that the Xbox One is a behemoth? Remember all the memes about it looking like a VCR when it first came out?

Is it weird that this just makes me want to play Sleeping Dogs?

I think I first noticed this in House of Cards.. It made so much sense that I didn't even think of it as a thing.

We've reviewed all of the A7 cameras, check it out!

Not a fan of madden but this ad was brilliant.

I'm gonna be brutally honest right now...this article feels like it's borderline advertorial.

Thriving financially, that's true. But the talent and the passion is still very much alive in Japan. I hope western publishers will be smart enough to invest more in that region. We could see some truly amazing games.

That's what I love about Japanese developers. They make games the way they want. It's not all "Ha ha! Business!" over there. There's more passion. Western publishers could learn a thing or two from all this. I've always loved Kojima's work. But I'm respecting him and his work and his team more every day because of…

Man, I actually wouldn't be surprised. That happens pretty often with Sony where a noteworthy game just shows up randomly in the store with little to no advertising or fanfare.
