I'm pretty sure Bioshock's issue was that widescreen mode wasn't expanding the horizontal like it should, and was instead just cropping the vertical because someone implemented the widescreen terribly.
No one has ever really done a console patch to "fix the FOV" after the fact, because devs set the console FOV based on…

Oh god, please explain how that gif came to be.

Anybody remember that academic study/paper some guy did about griefing people in City of Heroes (or some MMO), where he was intentionally a dick to study the reactions of people?

This reminds me a bit of that, though I'm not sure a documentary is the answer. Unless it's a pop documentary like Supersize Me that…

I agree that you can't walk up to a black person and call them a coon, but I doubt very many black people would really care if they stumbled upon a browser game called Starcoon that pretty clearly is about A) space, B) actual raccoons.
By that same principle, I'm sure most black people are not particularly offended if…

This controversy seems as entirely invented as the stupid sambo controversy with Scribblenauts. A sambo is a type of melon (or fruit or whatever it is). Coon is still legitimately a word for "raccoon". Neither of those is even accidentally offensive, let alone intentionally offensive.

I think selling a few thousand copies of a VC game is kind of a bummer when tens of millions of people own Wiis, but the greater issue there is that so many people bought the system just for Wii Sports and never even bothered to connect it to the Internet. It would be nice if people would actually dive into gaming…

It may be that Nintendo has already paid for the license/rights to sell Turbo games on their downloadable platform from a particular publisher or publishers for a set number of years, so the thinking may be that they already have those rights long term and may as well release those titles on the 3DS VC and the WiiU VC…

Yeah, it's really unfortunate that they took out, ohh, the party members that were clever spins on existing enemies, the area-specific story arcs, all NPCs other than Toads, and any attempt at creating a new villain for the game. And the new battle system seems like it's for babies, which is really saying something…

Yeah, for a system that has been out for 2 years, the 3DS really hasn't covered much of the Game Boy's catalogue.
Though on the other hand, I've heard reports that like 95% of titles on the Wii Virtual Console sold TERRIBLY, with the other 5% that sold well being classic Nintendo games in the Mario, Zelda, Metroid,…

Were the Toad and Chain Chomp companions in the game as like...mission-specific NPC followers that don't actually fight, or is there literally nothing in the game like that?

For anyone who never played this on the Wii, it is a very well made game. It looks like they've made some changes (in the Wii version each character could only had 2 hearts of health, looks like they've up that to 3). Anyway, the levels look fantastic and all have some cool, unique thing about them that makes them a…

I think Professor Layton x Ace Attorney tied up the Layton dev team at Level-5 for a bit, which is why this latest Prof Layton is somewhat delayed.

Yep, you pretty much sum it up.

They are both equally super dumb looking.

I continue to not really get what people see in the Tales series. Like you said, the character designs are unappealing in how overdone they are.

The Room is good and all, but I swear there must be better handheld games from the past year.

The original Metal Gear is very much an example of this, with the character designs being flagrantly based off of Terminator and Escape from New York characters. It's not quite about blowing everything up, but is it about sneaking around a jungle base and murdering dudes, so it's basically First Blood.

Rock Band 4 is not happening in the foreseeable future. Rock Band 3 did not sell nearly as well as was hoped, as everybody A) already had all the instruments, and B) you can almost never maintain public interest forever, and the majority of popular things end up being fads that last a couple years (Rock Band/Guitar…

Does it matter? Ueziel will just spin anything into a positive if he's already determined to like a game.

I think that's actually a really smart decision, because whenever I looked at the original version of that game, I always thought it looked really rough and unfinished, like a prototype made for a pitch meeting, or incredibly early alpha footage.
