Official products, eh? If by official you mean something built on the hard work of a small community of gamers who sought to preserve the very gaming experiences that those in charge of the gaming business empires had discarded. They had newer official products to sell and they certainly didn’t care how many great…

Here are is a list of games (in no particular order and more than 12) I would put above Wind Waker. That’s not to say I think it’s a bad game. It’s a great game. I’d even say it’s a ‘must play’ game. The Wii-U version ironed out a lot of the more tedious elements the original had, but that wouldn’t be enough to put it…

I think developers are scared to put good AI in games. If you make the AI too good it might prove to be too challenging for gamers (especially given how easy the majority of games today have become). The AI in most games have enemies acting not just dumb, but dumb in such a way to draw the players attention.

There’s no…

It’s not just Apple who comes out with incrementally improved hardware far too regularly to justify buying every new version they make. Nintendo borrowed from this idea long ago, starting with the DSi which was a beefed up DS and not something entirely new. The 3DS has had several hardware improvements which were sold…

This could have been really funny without all the meme faces and other meme references. Every time something funny happened it was undercut by something hackneyed. People need to learn to have some confidence in their own material. You don’t need to rely so much on other people’s jokes to get laughs.

For starters co-op multiplayer games have existed pretty much since the dawn of videogames. The arcade game Fire Truck had co-op in 1978. Contra was an extremely famous co-op game both in arcades and home consoles.

Really? It’s usually the opposite for me. When I haven’t played a game in a while, I’m usually rusty at the basics for a brief period. But I’m usually able to do tasks I’d found difficult much more easily. So if I’m ever stuck in a game (because the levels/enemies are too hard, or there’s a puzzle I can’t solve, or I…

Way to lump all feminists into a box.

Believe it or not, but there are plenty of feminists who are okay with tits in comics and other media. Being feminist doesn’t mean you have to want to cover up the human body. I’m getting sick of people equating feminism with female prudishness. Sure there are prudish feminists but…

I know, right? As a lover of both the hammer bros suit and Super Mario Bros 3, it would be more amazing if I hadn’t seen it.

Major problems with this article. For starters it’s correlation, not causation.

This is an interesting article given you wrote another article that more or less said women weren’t doing stuff like this, and that accusations of female gamers trying to earn money by showing cleavage, etc, was really unfounded; you claimed the accusations were only because were threatened by the idea of female…

I never said they were. You’re missing the extra “like.”

roguelike-LIKEs and rogue-lites are unusually considered different names for the same. The extra”like” is just a way of saying games found in roguelike-likes (aka rogue-lites) are roguelikes. And roguelikes are like Rogue

“roguelike-like” is another name for “rogue-lite” (though I did coin and promote the word “roguelike-ish” many years back as a possible replacement for the other two)

you may not hear roguelike-like as much today, especially big name sites like this. however, it was the the original name used to describe that…

I always preferred roguelike-like. It’s both cumbersome, and it’s more of a mathematical style of naming. Both those things feel like a fitting homage to the original Rogue and most rogue-likes that came after.

I’d mostly agree with that. Though I’ve only felt I need to brake check a handful of times in my life to ensure my safety. One of those was a dark, narrow, winding road. It was just one lane. The car behind me crowded me. I didn’t slow down, but tapped the brake many times so he’d see the light. He wouldn’t let me…

Many places actually require you move to the right, if possible, and use the leftmost lane for passing. Or when there’s more cars, The is fast, the right is slow.....

The real headline should be: This Is Why You Never Tailgate. Ever. Period. Seriously, Stop doing it!

I bed they want RC Cola, but since they asked for soda, I’d give them soda water instead.... Or possibly some baking soda. Meh, either one would be close enough. Soda is soda.

The arenas are where the game shines. I suspect most people don’t even make it that far.

Goes to show you can be a fan of two things (retro games and Mad Max) and still miss things.
