Before I comment, I have to get this out of my system.

What I continue to find bizarre is that people continue to punish themselves by reading/watching something they don't like. Is it mere sadomasochism or is there a deeper need here? That they must have something to bitch and whine about?

The clan castes that have sprung up around these games scares me a little. I can understand the desire not to have your "good name" besmirched by interlopers, but it's not even your name.

Needs more Free Bird

Further proof that no matter what anyone says, the PS3 just doesn't have a gaming foothold here. I did have an opportunity to see it in action as a media centre on Friday and I was quite impressed, even if the menus seem slightly cumbersome. But the owner told me upon asking him if he was getting his Solid Snake fix,…

@thisisasignin: Only in the twisted Kotakuverse would that be less screwed up...

Penguin seems to be the new Murky pet for this event. Presumeably it's a new Artic-themed Arrakoa man/bird thing suited for Northrend.I always wished they'd let those little pets confer a small bonus on you when you had them out. If only because my tiny Lord of Terror really does require an resistance to fear…

The point I feel compelled to make is that console pirating, once the initial installation is completed (which can be bought along with the chip), very little usually has to ever be done again. Afterwards it pretty much "Just WorksTM". PC's suffer from patching problems, new anti-copy protection and invasive online…

Considering it's been known for a long long time that Blizzard were developing a Diablo successor, I'm a tad amazed at all the OMG and speculation. And before everyone harangues me to tell them why I know, two reasons: I know a dude and secondly, the indsutry insider "The Spy" of PC Gamer stated as much a few months…

I'm guessing it's WotLK beta sign-ups or something now.

@Alaron: Until the first Smash Bros, I had no idea that Samus was Samus, not Metroid.

It's a shame this happens in Akihabara, one of my geek-dreams of the future, to walk it's streets and smell the SNES games, see the sights and sounds of the techno-raver music.

World of Starcraft Vs. Diablo!

Or it's a reference to the Ninth Circle of Hell, which is according to myth and demonology, a vast frozen lake with Lucifer (i.e Diablo) imprisoned at the centre.

This is the one game (bar Red Alert 3 and even that's a long shot) that promises to take over our flat and have all 3 of us booted into Windows and screaming at each other to cover someone, stop shooting each other and "Arrrgh it's on my face get it off get it off geitoff!!!!!!"

After yesterday's video of Spiderman: Web of Shadows, I'm quite psyched up about a new Spidey game, especially one that captures the high flying aerial combat that Spidey is known for. Particularly the scenes of Spidey slapping what looked like a goblin wannabe of his glider and then webbing bad guys to buildings for…

@Vanguarde: Call of Red Alert?

I'm imagining the Pyro to be a sort've bishounen type when he finally removes his mask in the Meet The Pyro video, shaking long golden tresses out of his eyes...

I can't understand how no one arrested this man for child abuse. Who names their kid "Lacey"?

I can this being a nice little way to give yourself an appearance in a chat room on LIVE.
