I really liked this video. Her counterpoints and opinions are a fresh take on the ongoing gender debate in game culture today. I'm inclined to lean towards the way Sommer's tackles things as opposed to Anita's opinions. As the video mentioned, some of what Anita has shown is valid, but she does have a flawed "glass…

Poor Anita. Nobody deserves this. I'm sure a lot of internet celebs get similar amounts of abuse and threats like her. Most of it is empty and baseless, but you never know when the 1% strike hence this FBI report. It's hard to tell where the line is between meaningless rage and the actual intent to harm.

Interesting design choice. I can see this leading to a lot of hilarious memes.

Despite not being a fan of Mojang and Minecraft, I'm saddened by this news. Even though the FAQ and PR make it sound all rosy, Mojang will definitely not be the same in the future and it will eventually cease to exist as a unit...as most Microsoft acquisitions have shown in the past. It all depends on how far the…

Very few games on the 3DS require tilting motions on the circle pad as much as Smash Brothers, so it seems to me that the durability of the pads aren't as strong as the sticks. This could pose a problem.

I'm surprised that Namco-Bandai hold the rights to Xenosaga. I thought Nintendo owned it by extension of owning Monolith Soft, who is of course responsible for the trilogy of games. Maybe Nintendo's buyout of the developer from Namco had certain implications within the deal, like Xenosaga being owned by Namco not…

Miyamoto is directing or simply making? The latter word is easily generalized. He could just be producing it or being a special consultant, advising, etc.

If by some miracle it includes an HD version of Twin Snakes, then Konami will get a lot of people interested. I have no idea how they'll make it work as Twin Snakes is a collaboration between Silicon Knights, Konami and Nintendo. Nintendo needs to approve the port for consoles outside of their own, and Konami needs to…

Avoiding all these videos until we get that demo outside of Japan. Can't wait.

As enticing as these editions are, at this point it's a waste of money as evidence by the newer model which should be coming soon. I absolutely loathe its name though. They really, really need to change it for the international release. Call it "Amiibo 3DS" or something, because New 3DS is not going to cut it with…

I'm not a fan of the game, but I still see the community flourishing to this very day despite some restrictions with the mods.

Let's be honest. Microsoft are not buying the company; they're buying Minecraft. Scrolls is nowhere near the phenomenon that is Minecraft, and the only reason Mojang is popular is because of this game. Mojang will definitely be expanded to a huge developer if this deal pulls through, although they won't be the same at…

Mojang would be stupid to take the deal as Microsoft will make them a shell of what they once were just like they did with Rare and many other developers they've bought out over the years. It's not like Mojang needs the buy-out anyway as they're doing great already. Hopefully Markus doesn't give into temptation unless…

I'm quite surprised by how Angry Birds Stella turned out. I thought I read that Rovio was going for a radical genre change spin-off...by making it an adventure/storytelling game. Am I imagining things or were they referring to a different game all together?

The one fact that blew me away is that the Chain Chomp eventually breaks loose in SMB3 if you wait for it. That is absolutely very cool. I never knew. Whoever programmed that it earns a lot of respect.

To be fair, we've been waiting for the game that was to be Versus XIII for too long. As for the actual sequel, Final Fantasy XV, it's right on time if you look at the wait period between the last three single-player offline installments. Final Fantasy X was released in 2001, Final Fantasy XII in 2006, and finally…

Wow. That looks absolutely beautiful. I'm rarely impressed by these limited edition models, but this one looks awesome. I love the rustic look of the metallic color. Almost looks like real metal scratched.

I love and support this. Any developer who adds quirky and intentional issues with pirated versions is awesome in my book.

The ironic part with Nintendo is that they should be the company that has region free systems and games... Because in contrast to Sony and Microsoft, their distribution worldwide is the weakest. Sony and Microsoft support more countries than Nintendo. My region, the Middle East, has recieved official support and…

I think piracy is a contributing factor, but definitely wasn't a console killer at the time as the editorial suggests. On the contrary, piracy ironically helps console sales immensely, but negatively affects software sales. If piracy was the main reason why the DreamCast had a short life, then why haven't the…
