"Valve's version" is the operating system that everyone is using, PC makers might have a tough time selling people on a box of computer parts that plugs into your TV and does nothing.

Has anyone ever enjoyed a sliding morality scale in an open-world game? Where you're punished for accidentally killing civilians? No, they have not. Pity, then, that Watch Dogs has one.

In my opinion, the biggest enemy for the x1 and ps4 is the PC. I could find the money to buy either machine, but so far the PC version's of the games seem to be better to me. And I'm not really that big of a pc gamer (or perhaps was, since now I do own quite a library on PC thanks to steam).

They're not, and have been playing since the weekend.

There is, in fact, a supposedly DotA mod for UT3. It's awful though. It has a lot more to do with survival/wave defense than DotA. The Ball game was also originally a mod for UT3. Then Valve picked the guys up and gave them money (GabeN seems to have a good smell for success).

No indie games is about being... wait for it... INDEPENDENT!

Funny, I don't seem to remember all the times Japanese character designs overshadowed Western counterparts. I mostly remember Japanese character designs being overly ornate and comically stylized past the point of function, or completely stereotypical, or just fetish inspired.

ill give you simplicity, but other than the three advertisements (one movie/TV, one xbla, one game on demand) that takes all of 5% screen real estate on the home screen, I think the xbone has it beat there. I haven't been given adverts for taco bell or sears in my friends activity list on xbone. The ps4 is a great…

I wonder why you haven't written a long running, popular series of short videos. Oh wait, because it's much easier to piss on other people's works.

Reminds me of a certain Lets Player:D Space Butterflies:D

"I stumbled upon an alien nest—filled with bug-like creatures"

Please tell me there's a bumpy road and ragdoll physics so they can recreate this

time to switch to dota guys, sorry...
