The piracy apologists should be along soon to explain to you how you can't steal virtual items. Just nod and smile.

Just get one. The games are so cheap and go on sale so often that there's really no reason not to. P4G is the most I've paid for a Vita game and I got it for $20. Between the PSN sales and PS+, there is honestly no downside to buying the hardware.

DeNA is a special kind of awful. They take established and beloved licenses and put paper-thin interaction over them - basically letting the license do the legwork. The games are typically ones of chance as opposed to skill, and their IAPs are essentially a lottery for non-tangible rewards. You can spend money and…

QUOTE | "Free-to-play has been, and continues to be, so exciting because it's growing so rapidly." - Ben Cousins, veteran of DeNA and EA and now a consultant, talking about why he thinks F2P is overtaking the game industry.

Sounds promising but I'm not buying it yet. With Disney taking over, especially if Disney Interactive is involved, the primary driver for development is going to be generating a marketing tool for other products. The video games will promote and supplement the movies, TV shows, and toys, not the other way around.…

Compared to the tripe that passes for video game journalism today, this article was fine. Outlets are terrified to share negative impressions because they're scared they'll lose access and be at a competitive disadvantage with other outlets that are happy to report all as sunshine to keep their pockets lined.

+1 square meal day

Most logical reason: it was mostly grandparents misunderstanding "Manning jersey" requests.

I... Wow. And Jenkins' photo isn't even in color. And his last name isn't capitalized. How is this not at the top of the front page?

The first party stuff was good enough that a lot of us didn't notice at the time. But I remember watching announced third party games get canceled before the GameCube launched. It's hard to believe that I was, at the time, legitimately disappointed that the NFL 2K series wasn't going to GameCube. Seems laughable now.

The camera in combat is quirky. It's never quite centered on the player character, and at times it loses the player completely.

My seemingly less common perspective on ACIV comes from it being the first and only AC game I have played. I could go on about this game for days - it is a fascinating symbol of current state AAA development. But the short of it is this: I don't understand how the controls can be so broken for a game that's had four…

We need more surprise release dates! Imagine the impulse buys from people saying "wait that's out right NOW?"

Master iRace?

Well there goes my evening.

This seems like as good a place to ask as any... Why does Nintendo still sell Wii remotes? I have seen Wii U bundles with these things and I don't know why they still exist. Can you play certain games with them? Do certain games still require them? As a confirmed motion control hater, I was put off the Wii U just by…

I don't hate games like this because of the microtransactions (set your money on fire, it's your loss). I hate games like this because they make me want a real game with the same art that I would gladly pay a fixed price for. I would love a sandbox city building game with one of these licenses that offered deeper…

"Only ONE million? Amateur."

ZXTREME!

It has to do with eSRAM and the cloud. You wouldn't understand.
