Great article. I like reading in-depth criticism of games and I’ve noticed that the Dark Souls games are the only recent titles that are really getting that treatment. I played Demon Souls and wasn’t a fan but I think if I was a part of a group of people in the Dark Souls culture I would be motivated to try one of the…

This is a smart change since it could get back some old players who haven’t logged in since the first expansion dropped. It’s going to take more than this to get me back into playing the game though. I did enjoy the game but it really fizzled out for me when all of my irl friends stopped playing, because the social…

I agree with you; I don’t really understand why employees seem to go to so much trouble to explain the content of a game for the express purpose of losing the sale. If at my job I talked someone out of buying something because (like most products) it has faults and really isn’t as good as you think it is, my manager…

Aww, those deals for Mass Effect and Dead Space got me excited before I realized they were for PC. Mine would never run those games :( I know what it costs to keep a gaming PC up to date probably is offset by how low the prices are for PC games, but I still wish console games would get sales like that.

How do you fit that many games on there?? I can barely fill one page before the Vita is full.

Great comic round-up this week (:

This conversation makes for an interesting read. I mostly agree with you guys but I’ve got a few conflicting viewpoints.
First, I think people are using the word “dark” very loosely these days. I didn’t think the show was particularly dark; the subject matter wasn’t too heavy and in this take on Daredevil he’s not an…

I would argue that the cast of Final Fantasy dresses approximately 100% better than most of Earth’s current population. Even if the outfits can be a little nonsensical or impractical, they still look interesting.

This is really exciting! I’ve been waiting for an entry-point into Star Ocean ever since a friend broke my Til the End of Time game disc and I never finished it. The newer titles seemed like they made a lot of missteps. Hopefully this will be epic!

The biggest thing that matters to me, and the thing that’s consistently made me choose Rock Band over Guitar hero, is the tracklist. So really the franchise I choose for the next gen music games depends on that.

What happened to advertising? Old ads are so much more visually appealing and they seem like people actually put work into them. These days most ads seem to be really asinine jingles, which are made even worse if anyone is singing.

Let’s be honest, Exodus would have been a terrible film no matter who the actors were.
But if we really need a petition like this, to make sure that the actress for MULAN is Chinese or at least Asian, I really fear for our society. The producers/casting directors would have to have utterly no knowledge about the story…

I agree with this article. I only played the first episode but I also thought the overnarration was tacky; but it could just be that’s one of my pet peeves.

I had a similar experience at Heathrow. The customs people are awful; we had a really rude guy that wasn't trying to hide his distaste for us being there. Not sure what his problem was but he held us up so much that we missed the flight.

I would love to live in a country where less than 1% of the population is Christian. I can’t drive on any street where I live without passing like 3 churches with signs outside telling everyone to repent.

Does anyone remember the Xi Alternate Reality game? I found the really cool to participate in. It’s too bad Home never did anything else like that, because I would probably have come back to the service. Let’s hope they learn from their mistakes and maybe launch something better on the PS4?

Idk, the lack of originality in games has really made me fatigued with games in general. They used to be my favorite thing but I find myself just buying them and not playing them now. I’m looking for new experiences instead of just the same games with better graphics. I share the feeling of just being completely…

I seem to remember To The Moon being too long to play all in one sitting. It took me around 7 hours split between several days. It was a very heartfelt game but I'd only recommend it to a very specific type of gamer; I love dialogue heavy games but To The Moon tends to feel longer than it is due to having nothing to…

This is incredible. I thought the head picture for this article was a screenshot when I first saw it. She must have spent hundreds of hours on that dress. Props to the editors for featuring stuff like this.

I was really surprised by this game. It's the first fps I've played since the Metro titles that had any sort of narrative weight to it.
