Why the Taliban in the Medal of Honor is a non-issue.
Sep 3rd
Ok, let me start this off by saying I have nothing but respect and admiration for the American soldier (or sailor, marine, or airman, as the case may be). I’m working on a Masters Degree in Military History, with my focus on American military history. Reading about the experiences of American soldiers throughout history has [...]
Retired NFL player alleges EA steals his likeness
Aug 5th
There is a class action lawsuit, filed on July 29th, 2010 by one Michael E. Davis (aka Tony Davis) on behalf of all retired NFL players that EA is allegedly using their likenesses without permission. At first I didn’t care about this because it’s football and I personally would rather eat glass than watch …
We just stole your editor. How you like them apples?
Apr 26th
One of the founders of IGN and long time Nintendo reviewer Matt Casamassina has stated on his blog that, after 13 years of service, he is leaving IGN to join up with Apple as their “Global Editorial Games Manager”. If you’re as confused by that title as I was, here’s a snippet of his description [...]
Section 8: PS3 Review
Apr 26th
I know the term “hardcore” is thrown around a lot in the gaming community, often with negative connotation, but there’s really no other way to describe Section 8 other than hardcore. It eats other “hardcore” first person shooters for breakfast. Any seasoned FPS gamer with countless hours of Halo and Modern Warfare play under their belt, [...]
Kotaku confirms that Valve loves the PC
Apr 21st
There is a post up on Kotaku that discusses the new “Mutations” mode in the Left 4 Dead 2 DLC that is due out this Thursday. The new game mode sounds interesting and all, but the last paragraph was what caught my eye: Purchased being a relative term, of course. Xbox 360 players can expect [...]
Yahoo! points out that online language is offensive
Apr 16th
Yahoo! Games has an article up today about the offensive language that many online gamers use when shooting one another and generally causing death and destruction. Lest you think that I’m going to tear the article apart, I will say up front that it actually presents opposing viewpoints and gives them proper weight, and seems [...]
How Modern Warfare 2 fanboys are going to ruin video games
Apr 8th
Apparently, 2.5 million people purchased that stupid map pack for MW2. That’s right, Activision has made over $37 million already for 5 new maps that should probably have been free. At the very least, the two remakes should have been because I’m pretty sure the game engine used in Modern Warfare 2 is only an [...]
Justin Bieber instead of Gears of War?
Apr 8th
Kotaku has an article about the Gears of War developer being bumped from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and being replaced with Justin Bieber. The article makes it rather clear that it was the decision of the Gears developers to delay their appearance, and not the producers deciding to replace them with Bieber, but I [...]
MW2 Map Pack: It’s just like the REAL Stimulus Package!
Mar 15th
This goes along with my article from last week. In that article, I discussed Modern Warfare 2′s apparent failure to keep the player base occupied and coming back for more as time goes on. Well, Infinity Ward was concerned that such a thing was either going to happen or happening already, because they will soon [...]
Modern Warfare 2: How many players?
Mar 10th
Tom’s Hardware has a post in which one Ryan Bowling (Edit: His name is Robert. Tom’s reported his name incorrectly) at IW claims that MW2 has 25 million unique users. Yes folks, 25 million. The subtitle for this little gem of a mini-article is “Modern Warfare 2 is the major game for online gamers.” First off, don’t [...]
