A great tip that I've read, and has helped a LOT, is to save those lockpicks! Don't unlock every safe you see. They're just full of money (which is plentiful in Columbia) and you'll soon come across doors that require more than one lockpick to open. If you're incredibly astute about searching you're still bound to…

I don't have a WiiU yet, but that seems like an incredibly long wait. Improving console performance over time is always a good thing, but why is it that sluggish to begin with? I don't recall performing basic system functions like exiting a game being that slow on a 360 or PS3...and those are 7 year old pieces of…

I don't think there's a gold auction house either, actually. How can they monitor dupes if the game's offline?

Part of the thrill of playing D3, is knowing that your items exist within the battle.net ecosystem. Getting an amazing drop that you can sell on the AH for something you can actually use is a pretty huge deal. The grind will be 20 times as long on PS3, and you'll be left with a TON of useless shit that you can only…

To anyone thinking Blizzard was going to unveil some AAA new MMO at a Penny Arcade event and not their own...LOL

Exclusive deals are made ALL THE TIME. It's part of the PR ecosystem. It's not two dudes handshaking in an alleyway exchanging money. 2k knows they have a AAA hit on their hands, they're not stupid. The game's not going to get trashed. It's better for IGN than for 2K, so I don't know what's with all the conspiracy…

Thank god it's a 9.4. If it were a 9.3 I would not buy.

I don't think you know how PR works, pal.

A lot of times when a publisher, record company, movie studio etc. have a tremendous amount of faith in a huge, expensive, AAA product...they place that faith in the product itself when securing exclusives with huge media outlets. It's not that they're some kind of secret handshake, or raising of eyebrows to let IGN…

You've grown bitter in your old age. Lighten up dude, it's a fucking video game with fan service.

I don't think "ritual" is the correct term here. This isn't superstition...it's making an uncomfortable tournament setting as close as humanly possible to your home set up. Making split second decisions, that require precision based physical keystrokes, is pretty difficult. Starcraft 2, at that high of a level is so…

I like that the campaign is over the top, ridiculous, and full of different units and abilities. It's a really nice break from laddering and feels like a truly different experience all together within the same package. I think Blizzard really knocked it out of the park with this one, and I can't wait to see what they…

Never gonna happen buddy :(

At least (for once) television didn't portray gamers as beer chugging super bro frat boys, or overtly geeky and socially awkward dudes. I thought it was pretty cool that they made Spacey's character a gamer.

Maybe they're just big Bill Hicks fans.

the rusiann (?) one where they shove the banana in the dudes mouth. I fucking lost it. Holy crap. What an awesome comp.

There is no evidence to suggest that EA would sabotage their own game and create an ecosystem of terrible PR for them, and the developers who worked hard on the game. Villainize EA all you want, but for them to knowingly have such a PR catastrophe is retarded, and conspiracy theorist.

Pyongyang is about 200km from Seoul, but do you REALLY think they're going to drop a nuke in their own backyard? They're crazy but I don't think they want nuclear fallout and the entire UN knocking down their front door at the same time. It's the same old threats that have been going on for the last 60 years.

This has been going on since the cease fire in 1953 buddy. Also, just because NK tested a nuke underground doesn't mean that A. They have the means to build it small enough to place on a long range missile, and B. That they can even launch a long range missile with any kind of success or accuracy. Remember, this is…

I don't blame the always-online mentality of developers these days. I really think that's where we're headed, but there's no excuse for having such a horrible launch. D3 included, this shit should never affect your most loyal, day 1 customers. I hope EA makes good on this and does something nice for all the…
