The entire console is mounted to your head and based around VR. No controllers though. You control everything by where your eyes look and blinking...

In an interview with Nikkei, Iwata briefly mentioned the hardware, saying he wouldn't go into particulars about the NX. "However, if you only expand upon existing hardware, it's dull," Iwata said. "In some shape or form, we're always thinking about how we want to surprise players as well as our desire to change each…

QUOTE | "We believe that we will be able to use smart devices in a very unique way so that they can be a bridge to our dedicated game systems, and at the same time, that we will be able to deliver unique experiences to the users of smart devices" - Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata, explaining why Nintendo is finally going to…

QUOTE | "We fundamentally sabotaged what is inherently awesome about Diablo, which is killing a monster and getting the loot." - Diablo III game director Josh Mosqueira, talking about Blizzard's decision to remove the Auction House from the game.

Good lord, these girls are beautiful!

StarCraft II's final expansion is right around the corner. The end—some kind of end—is in sight. What happens afterward, though?

This is a really fun game, but the patrol/alarm/camera thing pisses me off. Very often, a patrol will spot you even though you can't see them. They will be just past the edge of what you can see on your screen, and yet the alarm will go off. That robs a lot of the fun out of this because it just feels super unfair…

Lasota: Move fast, don't stop for anything, not even those delicious samples! Speed really is key, keep moving constantly and delay enemies following you with Stratagems.

Lasota: The Mechsuits are designed to be really, really, powerful. The thinking is that they give you an edge but only for a very limited time, as you can't rearm them. It's not dissimilar to the star in a Mario game. That said, they might have a bit too much ammo currently, but time will tell if we need to adjust it.

Lasota: The major events (Super Earth defense, enemy home planet invasion) are all 48h so that everyone can have a chance to participate. The Defend events, where you defend a region capital, are always four hours. There is currently no messaging system for when events happen, but we are looking at the possibility of…

Good god she was the sexiest thing in that series. I was so bummed they didn't allow a fleshed out relationship with her.

I saw "vaporware" and those wooden ramparts and immediately thought of Mount & Blade 2.

Don't forget how Facebook says they own everything you post. So, your pictures aren't yours anymore, they belong to Facebook, and Facebook can use them anyway they want, including as ad images.

This comic nails the major issue with VR beyond making the hardware work: what will work with the hardware?

Not all publishers are alike, I'm sure. Hence, some are more leaching and less-helpful than others. Borut puts that group at 90% of publishers. I have no idea if 90% is correct, but the idea that publishers have too much power and get too much of the money from sales relative to the fact that they don't actually…

QUOTE | "In reality, 90 percent of them are just there to sort of leech value. They're not really adding value right now in the industry." - Plush Apocalypse owner Borut Pfeifer, talking about why indies shouldn't sign up with publishers.

QUOTE | "Suddenly we're not gods any more...There are gods, and now we just license their engines." - Positech's Cliff Harris, talking about why he hates Unity and other middleware, preferring that indies write their own engines.

Well, that's cute, but you're talking to a company that's shown little but contempt for loosening up the game and giving players the kind of flexibility they want or for removing obtuse UIs that do nothing but slow you down and get in your way. Skip the cut scenes!? Madness! Change the color of your guns!? Do you…
