So despite pretty much all publications giving this game negative reviews, it still sold quite well. Go figure.. It just goes to show that even a turd can sell copies as long as it has name...

I don't know exactly how I feel about this honestly. As long as there are still decent single player games released as traditional "full games" (or as "full" as you can get...

I just started playing conviction recently after picking it up for $5 a few weeks back, and man is it dumbed down.. It almost seems like they force you into just blasting away during certain...
I think i'd still prefer my mouse overall, but that's definitely an interesting idea. I'm hoping this next gen there won't be such a quality gap between PC's and consoles. That can't last forever of course, but with support higher resolution TV's, "mouse-like" game support from motion controls...
Humm... Maybe this is his justification for continuing to remake the same generic shooter, what, like 3 times in row now..?

Of course, it's worth noting again that this hasn't been confirmed by microsoft, so it's really just speculation at this point. IMO they would be shooting themselves in the foot if...
I thought some of you old school PC gamers with an iPhone would get a kick out of this like I did.

Call me skeptic but I don't buy this at all. I mean, comeon EA dude, you work for EA.. why would anyone believe a single word you say?

I picked out some of the parts I think sum up the article the best and relate to PC gaming but i'd suggest reading the whole thing.

This is from a few days ago but I didn't see it posted here.

Is this the future of console gaming or are they jumping the gun a bit? From what I understand a large portion of Xbox 360 owners still don't have reliable internet, limited internet, or no access at all. Maybe...

While I definitely agree with the writer that most of the big name titles on kicktarter right now are essentially nothing more that "very early" preorders, I don't necessarily think the quality of a game will suffer...

For me personally, if I purchase a game for full price I will always purchase the physical version. I've never purchased a digital game for $60, it just doesn't feel "right" to me, for lack of a better description...

This is somewhat old news, as it was released in mid-December, but I just ran across it earlier this week and didn't see anything posted here.
The new patch does require that you create a new game but it's worth it if you recently picked up the enhanced edition and haven't had a chance to...

I was actually thinking about pre-ordering the game but i'm not sure how I feel about this tactic. Are they trying to raise the pre-order count, milk money from gamers for pulled content, or both? Why not just include a digital artbook, a discount, or...

I know there's a lot of hate for this game but i'm actually looking forward to this DLC. IMO DNF was worth the $10 I paid for it on Steam and as long as this new campaign has some decent length to it i'll be...

I thought i'd share this with you guys as it seems like a pretty good deal IMO. I grabbed a domain name and hosting for less than $20 ($19.75 to be exact) for the year. I signed up for their Easy plan, but they have a cheaper one that that too. Make sure you choose the yearly...

In short, don't buy the counterfeit version! Hopefully Apple can get everything sorted out and this dude gets what's coming to him..

* Penumbra Overture
Profits go to the EFF and Child's Play. The...

Not sure about you guys but this seems fairly reasonable given "other" failed DRM methods that have recently been used. I would imagine it will be cracked just a quickly as anything else but at least SEGA is keeping their...
