WashDog's multiplayer mode was suspended at one point while they looked into allegations of online grooming.

Nope, not misunderstanding at all. It's just bullshit. DocSeuss doesn't understand anything about communication between servers and clearly neither do you. Unless Microsoft granted SE unrestricted access, which isn't necessary for the game and would be flat out moronic on the part of MS, to their servers then it's not…

Kotaku never skirts the issue. The writers are unafraid of touching sensitive subjects. I applaud you guys for really getting deep into this one. Kotaku really has their fingers on...

Iron Man Thinks He's Meeting Mandarin, Meets Actor Instead, Gets Very Sad...

What appeared to be a glitch earlier this morning is now intentional: Fable III is completely free for Xbox Live Gold subscribers (probably to promote the original game's HD re-release later this year). Just go to the title in the On Demand section of the Marketplace and you'll find it there for download. The game is…

Do any Final Fantasy fans here think the long-running series has gone to complete shit? If not, why?

I imagine because achievements are a purely Microsoft/X-Box feature of which no other company utilizes (including Steam itself).

Dangerous! I mean it'll probably be a while before the technology matures and becomes practical and affordable. But damn. It'll change collectible merchandising forever. Especially when people start downloading commercial sculpts to print.

Wow. So hacks that actually affected people (and still affect people en masse; with absolutely no signs of Microsoft doing anything to stop them from happening) don't count simply because you understand how they work?
Is the only failed criteria the PS3's got against the 360, "Has the network only been compromised…

This isn't what static means. The difference between static and dynamic is the following: walking up steps two at a time (static) vs hopping up steps two at a time (dynamic). Neither is faster than the other (actually, in most climbing situations, static is faster because there is no set-up and recovery for the bigger…

Frankly I always find these kind of rants kind of hypocritical. Also rather pretentious, but that goes without saying. He goes on about how stifling and limiting Microsoft was because they only make certain kinds of games, going so far as to call it a "monoculture". And yet all the games he makes all fit within the…

So far I've only seen one game that's made me really appreciate the gamepad, and that was Nintendoland. For everything else... it just seems kinda superfluous. A lot of the time I'm just thinking that most of what's displayed on there could be on the main screen and it wouldn't really make a difference. Off-screen…
