Homefront game developed by Crytek?

I will probably subscribe to HBO to watch Game of Thrones just to be ready to play this game.

I for one applaud the initiative to make Kotaku's writing staff more diverse than ever, which is why I'm surprised that they didn't even mention that Chris Person is a gaymer of color, Kate Cox is a former member of the militant feminist group "Our Time", Tina Amini was actually born Tony Amini but her parents had…

Come on, THQ buyout/acquisition. Surely someone wants this company?

I'm thinking revenue would be the best indicator, and one that should be reasonably easy to assess.

To follow up on my comments qua investor in THQ in another article, I'm still holding the stock for the time being and it's been a wild ride. In the past couple days, it's been down 7.5% and back up 7.5%. The stock took a beating when THQ announced that it was getting out of the licensed products market (not…

This is an apples to oranges comparison even by video game industry self-hype standards. Number of users on Origin reflects the fact that EA has refused to release some of its more popular games on Steam, thus forcing users to download Origin for a handful of games (I myself am in this camp right now, but eagerly…

I didn't play a single second of FFXIII, despite desperately buying just about any JRPG to hit the market during the first half of this gen, and playing the demo of FFXIII-2 has convinced me I made the right decision. 30 seconds with the bland battle system and I was already bored.

I'm pretty sure I would be on your case if you felt that being "blown into pieces" (by guns? explosion?) was an appropriate punishment for petty theft. Similarly, I don't think that people who enlist in the military, who do so for many different reasons, deserve to be burned irrevocably regardless of your personal…

"I dont like seeing people suffer"

Actually, Eidos was not profitable at the time and would have had to raise additional capital to finance continuing operations if Square hadn't intervened. As I said, a Japanese company looking to diversify into the Western games category might be interested, but I'm not sure Square Enix is in any condition to be…

You haven't presented an issue here. The article is about how video games helped soothe the excruciating pain of someone who was burned badly by an IED. You turned it into a soapbox about how American troops shouldn't have been in Afghanistan in the first place. You said that this person, who suffers indescribable…

When you look at retailers' margins, the cost of physical media, the cost of shipping, and the impact of used game sales, I'd say we should be getting more than a $5 discount. Hopefully that's just when purchasing through Best Buy, not the PSN store.

"I do not wish death or injury upon any person"

Haha. Maybe the book burns itself the instant you try to transfer it

Burning a copy of a book in protest is about the dumbest thing you can do. If you wanted to hurt the publisher, you'd sell it to someone else.

Not sure which comments you're talking about or what exactly the problem is and how it might resemble Fox news, but enjoy your Chrome extension.

I'll be interested to see if this is a stepping stone to selling mobile games through Steam, at least on Android.

Netflix, in its DVD business, benefits from the "first sale doctrine" - this means that once they have bought a video or game disc, they can do with it what they please without needing to license content from media companies. You're right that there's a great deal of risk to this business, but breaking into the…

I'm just trying to find the line of reasoning here. The best I can find is "people will lose jobs" but that's immediately followed by "I don't really care about that." So what the Hell is going on here?
