Alas, I fear we will be in the minority tonight, on this thread, where the opinion will be waged whether or not Dark Souls was truly a game of the year, or whether Mr. Ebert is irrelevant or just mostly irrelevant.

Does anyone else feel that, Game of the Year or not, that Dark Souls may not have been the best introduction to gaming? To me that would be like starting a love of cinema with A Clockwork Orange. It's possible to do so, but to the outsider that would be quite the start.

At least he attacked Call of Duty, if he attacked Japanese developers, we'd be hard-pressed to find any more tar and feathers after such a busy week...

When I was a kid, almost all of the videogames I grew up loving were Japanese or by Lucasarts.

Thank you for the promotion <3

The PSN goes down for maintenance more than a woman whose fetish is janitors!!!

See, I love a lot of those movies, and am fond of many of them, but this isn't bad for Netflix, or for those movies.

Apple systems are a lot like consoles.

I had a chance to play a build of this in September at a gaming merchant showcase. It's pretty awesome. The lag was there-ish, but it felt more responsive when played. The gameplay was pretty solid, and I was bummed when it was delayed. The graphics look tightened up... I've seen much worse mangling of Star Wars than…

I call the evidence in question as circumstantial! I will counter this evidence as libellous to the good name of Gooche!

As much grief as I could give Mister Plunkett, nah. It was fixed by the time I clicked on the link. Kudos.

If they join this Xbox Live, I'll be all in on this and hteir ecosystem for a long, long time.

Here's what I don't get about the writing professionally thing... and I always wonder. Where does one start? I am familiar with a few tech blogs... and they are either of the giant Ars-Engadget-Giz-IGN variety, or they're too small to pay... and those that are too small to pay, well isn't that considered amateur?…

As someone who enjoyed the Watchmen movie and V for Vendetta, despite their lack of faithfulness to those amazing original texts: I suppose I'm not in favor of the canon Gods, and by default my opinion/taste is dismissed by Mr. Moore. This grants a modicum of freedom in me having an opinion of him that isn't perfect,…

I love mine, but eventually the bottom portion got stained with coffee that found its way into the chamber (no matter what precautions I took), and everything has this more bitter taste now. Thinking Aeropress for cleaning alone...

As much as I want to hate this, I can't. I can't think of how many toy stores my mom went to in search of that Megazord, or my sister's Beanie Baby, or my Ninja Turtles action blimp. Now that I'm older, I'm a bit embarrassed by what a little consumer tool I was, but I'm hard-pressed to find anything for these parents…

Why I stopped reading Manga...

The only way this appears to be a rational decision is if RIM's board took one look at Nokia and didn't want any part of that turbulent last year.

As someone who has sampled Grados, $500 Sony's, Meelectronics, Shures, Sennheisers, all the Beats, Klipsch Ones, B&W's... and several other audio headphones I can't be bothered with, I have to agree with this editorial.

I'd expect nothing less from a dude named Manarchy.
