Somehow, I think I hated the meta framing device more than all the Desmond-focused stuff from the first five AC games. It just felt wholly insincere, since the various Ubisoft studios that work on the AC series spent, oh, I dunno, FIVE games telling that dull, mediocre narrative. I understand that the meta nature of…

The frightening lack of diversity in video game development, marketing, sales, and presentation continues to soldier on…

America, a "special place" where talking about boners and vagina is somehow more offensive than a dude getting his head ripped off his neck or the militarization of police in a democratic state.

Ah, the Murder Report, the moment where we look back at E3 and realize that, yes, we do glorify violence a bit too much. But then we remember how much fun it is to run around stabbing and shooting people, and everything is swell again!

And that time-traveling ghost cat is assisted by a ghost dog that disguises itself as a desk lamp.

With small to midsize developers going under all over the place and game development getting more expensive generally, how does your studio plan on adapting to the changing climate of game financing? Does your studio think that crowdfunding is a viable alternative, or are there other non-traditional funding avenues…

Yep, and you get about a month plus to register.

Good news John, I'm finally buying a Wii U for Mario Kart 8, your "Gameological doesn’t make purchase recommendations" be damned!

You got what Ubisoft Montreal *thinks* Chicago looks like. Much like how every Ubisoft game has at least one voice actor with a thick Quebec accent trying to act like they speak some variant of American English. Inevitably, it still sounds like a faux-Frenchman speaking English, because evidently Ubisoft could not…

Same. I've preordered before when (1) I knew I would buy the game regardless of reviews, (2) I would receive a distinct financial advantage from doing so (either in discount or gift card), and (3) the game would be on my doorstep on launch day. Outside of that confluence of events, I just don't get why someone would…

Truly disappointing to see a great, original idea so contorted and bent into an existing mold that we're left with just another average, poorly written open world game. Reading through several reviews has taken any desire to play this game out of me, and I hope this doesn't portend the rest of the coming year for…

Erin Fitzgerald was a clear upgrade for Chie, and I think Sam Regal's cheery, bouncy voice is a better fit for Teddy than Dave Wittenberg's.

True, but those textures are pretty hideous by today's standards. It's one of those games that still looks fine on a CRT, but man, if you're using anything from the last five years…it's very rough around the edges.

Super Time Force is on the Xbox 360, in case you have one of those hanging around.

I really wish Atlus would do an HD re-vamp of DDS 1 and 2. Especially in this brave post-Persona 4 world of SMT love, I think those two games in one package would make a mighty fine send-off for the PS3.

The most realistic Bond villain plot ever, yet the one people seem to dislike the most.

Or ride the elephant while hunting a Yeti who has somehow offended the man in that wonderful suit…

And Far Cry 3, which I can only imagine was never meant to be taken as seriously as its ridiculous plot indicated.

Sorry, wasn't clear what I meant there. We were on the same page.

The Pitt is one the greatest uses of a choice in video games. No matter what you do, the human cost is undeniable.
