I get where you're coming from, and your assertion of objectification may very well hold true for this particular character. Gaming is full of female characters who exist as nothing more than eye candy, but I don't think many of us have played this game yet. It's hard to discern a character's personality from a few…

According to Wikipedia, "Sexual objectification refers to the practice of regarding or treating another person merely as an instrument (object) towards one's sexual pleasure, and a sex object is a person who is regarded simply as an object of sexual gratification."

Locked content isn't inherently good or bad, nor should it be in every single game, or abolished completely. It depends on the game, and it can be implemented well or poorly (like in Crosswords Plus).

Despite how far video games have come, they still garner little respect outside of the industry that makes them, and the community that plays them. Your parents, your boss, that cute girl you're too shy to talk to; none of them have any respect for this hobby. But can we blame them? If you ask any non-gamer to name a…

No, he's actually quite right. Scientific research hasn't come to a satisfying conclusion one way or another, which is no surprise. Violent media affects different people in different ways. However, the percentage of gamers who've committed real world violence as a result of their hobby is infinitesimally small…

Yes to this. I couldn't agree more.

I don't watch much anime, but I really liked Steins;Gate. It's probably one of my favorites, actually. Chaos;Head, not so much. Sounds like Robotics;Notes could go either way, but the premise did sound interesting. I'll probably give it a shot.

I got the same impression from the teaser. Clearly, this game is about breasts and nothing more. No other redeeming qualities whatsoever.

How about instead of arming ourselves with assault rifles to defend our families against roving gangs of heavily-armed killers, we address some of the root causes of violent crime? You know, like gross economic disparity, inane drug laws, a total disregard for the mentally ill, and cultural mores that result in a…

Agreed. Never underestimate peoples' desire to pay as little as possible. The fact that the PS3 launched at a higher price than the Xbox 360 and the Wii played no small part in Sony's misfortunes this generation.

Boss battles provide interesting variations on the core gameplay, present a unique challenge or add drama to the story. Just like any other element of game design, they can be implemented poorly or well. Whereas Deus Ex felt like it was always intended to be a stealth game, what little footage I've seen of Remember Me…

Look, I get it. You're a trendy urban adult. Those tweets won't twit themselves, the line at Starbucks is hella' long, and somewhere along the way, a dirty liar told you that you can raise a family and have hobbies at the same time. You're always on the go, and you need to get your gaming fix somewhere. You're…
