If the DLC is turning you off you are making a mistake. If you do every quest in the main game then you have a substantial amount of content. My friend and I played the game to completion and spent between 15-20 hours on it, and that was just our first play-through. On top of that Gearbox actually does DLC right for…

The GotY edition of Borderlands 1 came with download codes for the DLC so it was still tied to a Live profile.

Gearbox made it pretty clear campaign DLC would all be similar in scope to General Knoxx. They didn't rule out more Circle of Slaughter type DLC but all indications point to it not being season pass content.

The Chaos Dunk will forever live in infamy.

This is why I just play with friends online. I haven't played competitive sports online against random people in years. I get tired of the instant blitzes in Madden, playing against the same two or three teams and all the other stuff. I have more fun picking a random team vs a random team, playing the game without…

Silicon Knights was one of the first third-party developers to use UE3 so there weren't a wealth of people out there that knew the engine inside and out. The issue here (as far as I understand it from reading several different accounts) was that SK alleged Epic used their early licensing installments to fund Gears of…

Whenever I see one of these articles/stories anywhere I get two immediate reactions; 1) I just glaze over as I see what looks like math homework on the screen, 2) I am glad I don't have to worry about this stuff with my consoles.

Honestly I don't think the fans should have a say. Double Fine is a game developer with two of the greatest adventure gaming minds on its staff. The "fans" are probably 90% people who just play games and have no real experience or insight into development. I put money down because I wanted these professionals to make…

If you think all these games are are just roster updates you clearly don't know what you are talking about, but please continue to spit that tired line out whenever someone tries to tell you how good one of these games is.

DA2 is one of the most polarizing games in recent memory. There are a lot of people who think it is the better game in many regards, while others hate it for the changes it made and the repeated use of the same areas. It really is more action RPG than tactical pause-and-play. It is also interesting in that the story…

Yes New Vegas was a buggy mess because of Obsidian (although I never encountered many bugs and none that were game breaking) and not because it was running on Gamebryo, a buggy mess of an engine.

Compared to the previous control systems they had for the dunk contest I think this looks like the best so far, even if it does look a lot like Frequency/Amplitude with a basketball. Move over Baller Beats, 2K13 is here to play.

I think you could make a case that Angry Birds is mobile gaming's "killer app." It has perfectly encapsulated everything that most mobile games strive to be: simple yet at times deep mechanics, a game that you can pick up and play for five minutes but eventually lose hours too and ever expanding content.

Its a little frustrating that Online Leaderboards are DLC and only for one set of courses. It seemed like Coin Rush was built for that old arcade feeling of seeing your name on the top and they totally dropped the ball on that in the main game. I understand the random nature of course selection in coin rush means some…

Really I think they would have been better off releasing this year's game with the hope that they could recoup as much of the development costs as possible and then bowing out. The amount of ground they need to make up at this point is staggering and I don't really see them doing it. Best to cut their losses now…

Money happened. 2K pushed Madden and actually was the better football game. Then EA threw money at the NFL for an exclusive license. EA had a pretty good baseball game in the MVP series until 2K bought exclusive rights to the MLB license. Once the leagues realized they could sell their license to just one third-party…

They are free to sell at whatever price they want but the manufacturer's set the MSRP and generally expect you to sell it at that price. If not you may find it harder to get supply in the future.

The Platinum Hits version of ME1 on Xbox did include a second disc with Pinnacle Station and Bring Down the Sky.

Maybe try not playing it. You are the reason half of my games have intrusive DRM.

They only show that loyalty when dealing with other Japanese companies. Microsoft is not a Japanese company.
