I agree. I think that it's better not to focus on the character types that are commonly associated with a skin color, and rather just make a compelling and honest character, regardless of "race". Show the distinct differences in thoughts and experiences of each individual, while normalizing the fact that we are all…

I still say the face-button's colors stand out too much. They pop to the point that it's just kinda awkward, like that guy at the party who's so outgoing that it's to his detriment.

So don't bring your Xbox One controller to a party.

Wrong game featuring Troy Baker, brah.

I have so many memories and emotions tied to these two games, it's ridiculous.

Fuck yeah, Grandia II love represent!

We already have mainstream media positing bullshit like this, we don't need video game journalists putting it forward too.

I was thinking the same thing! It looks so much like they're just playing it safe with this one. There are so many possibilities with exploring Batman's start! I mean, yeah, fuck, Year One and Batman Begins. Batman's first outings could be so interesting, but instead, they're just doing Arkham City again, but saying…

I fucking love Remedy and Sam Lake. What other studio would basically just make a fucking vlog to tell Real Talk with you and explain what's going on with them? I'm sad to hear that a sequel to Alan Wake will probably take a long time to come, but the fact that Sam and the team had the decency to be straight-up with…

I'd say I'd be willing to get an Xbox One just for this, because I love everything about Remedy ever, but considering how Alan Wake went to PC eventually, I'm willing to just gamble and wait it out.

Those colored face buttons look ugly as Hell. So incongruous with the black of the controller.

Taking a page from XCOM I see? That is most wise indeed.

Something seriously must be said about Metal Gear Solid's titles screen. It's simple, nothing flashy, but the music just sets the tone for the whole game. It's like, "Yeah, you're about to get into some serious shit, but you're the most badass super soldier ever, so you can totally handle it!"

I'd like to note that neither the Doctor nor the Jedi would approve of such actions.

Well, maybe the First Doctor. He kinda liked to start shit.

The long stretches of sailing are essential to Wind Waker's tone, atmosphere and theme. It's necessary to see and absorb the world you're now in, and how vastly different it is from all other Zelda games. It's a post-apocalyptic setting, but it carries a message not of bleak nihilism, but that there's hope for the…

Totes picking up that free copy of The Witcher. Time to finally jump in and witness this lauded series for myself!

I'm such a sucker for this kind of art direction. Something about dark, sleek, clean, shiny, retro-futuristic visuals just get me.

That 3TB hard drive is the epitome of a "I don't know if I'll ever need it, but I really want it anyway" purchase.

Which is why I'm purchasing it.

Jaime's done such an about face for me this season. I used to hate him as much as I hate Cersei, but now, absolutely not. He's awesome. I love seeing him throwing his title around for other people. Powerful stuff. From douche, to broken man, to hero. He's gone through quite the metamorphosis, and I love it.

If you weren't sure it was fake before Sony said it was, the poor editing-work with the "face buttons in pupils" effect should have been a dead giveaway. A for effort though!
