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 …
EA’s Project Ten Dollar marches on
May 11th
I expect this is what Project Ten Dollar’s next phase will look like. “Gimme the cassshhh!” Project Ten Dollar, for those of you who don’t know, is the name of EA’s master plan to take more of your money. At its inception, the basic premise was this: if you buy a game new, you get [...]
I Just Don’t Know What to Think Anymore, EA
Mar 22nd
Dear EA, I’ve been over this before: in the past two decades or so, you’ve confused the crap out of me. I’ve loved you, I’ve hated you, I’ve nothinged you. Now, just as you’re starting to move pretty solidly back into gamers’ collective good graces, you get fast and furious with some pretty serious mixed [...]

Mar 16th
DICE have taken every opportunity to capitalize on the mistakes made by Activision and Infinity Ward with regard to Modern Warfare 2. From their timely announcement that Bad Company 2 would be using dedicated servers right down to the language on the game’s info page (emphasis mine): All of [Bad Company 2's] features combine to [...]
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 [...]

The PC as a “platform”
Feb 18th
Microsoft and Sony have it easy, in a way. Xbox Live and Playstation Network are easy methods of integrating a multiplayer experience because everyone has the same operating environment, the same hardware, the same software. The PC is a different issue altogether. The PC is a platform, in a sense, but only in the respect [...]
First impressions: Bad Company 2
Feb 1st
The PC Beta of Bad Company 2 has been out for a few days now, and haven’t played it for more than a few hours, I suppose I might was well start judging it. After all, we here at 3 Angry Gamers actually remember that the Battlefield franchise began before Bad Company (as so many console [...]
