Flamers, and the Flaming Flamers that Flame Them
19 hours ago | by: Tony Scarboni
You know, the one thing that I find more annoying than flamers are the ppl that spend all day posting comments complaining about them. Usually when a person flames it is still somewhat relevant. But to sit there and post comments whining about how irritated you are by someone else's brash opinion is even less constructive. You're just stoking the flames of the fanboy fire. You're doing the one ...

Both Consoles Back, How Did MS and Sony do?
1 day 17 hours ago | by: God of Gaming
Well about 3 weeks ago I lost my PS3 to a bad Blu Ray drive. A week
later my Elite got the three lights that turn the color of the devil.
So over the last couple weeks I have been able to see how each company
handles the repair service.
Sony-
Called the night of the
death to my console and was on hold for over an hour so I gave up and
called in the morning. Once connect...

Why GTAIV is disappointing
1 day 17 hours ago | by: name
This originally started as a response to a news article here, but I realized it was too long so I just made it a blog post. I'll warn you now this'll probably be a long one. This isn't gonna be damage control or anything, no BS, just pure honesty. In a previous blog I said I loved GTA and GTAIV. After further observations, I think I just kinda like it. Probably.
GTAIV became the first midn...

Prediction: Survival Horror genre dead by 2010
3 days 20 hours ago | by: name
I...I...love silent hill. Alongside Metal Gear Solid, it's a series that I really hold dear. It's a series(like metal gear solid) that I've been playing ever since the PS1 days fanatically. I've played every single silent hill over 8 times each. I love the storyline, I love the atmosphere, I love the game play, I love pretty much everything about it. And of course loving something for thi...

Tony Stark (aka Iron Man) is a Wii Fanboy
3 days 21 hours ago | by: Pezman
This weekend's box office hit was not
only a great movie for Marvel Comic fans it was a great movie for Wii
fans as well. Iron Man is the story of a billionaire, genius,
playboy turned billionaire, genius, hero. So my question is if
you were a billionaire with more money than you could spend in a 100
lifetimes and a genius who has invented Artifically
Intellegent ...

Australian PSN Store down - Update: Store fixed.
3 days 21 hours ago | by: Mc Fadge
But don't worry! Customer support has assured that it will be up and running soon. The error consists of the three initial images loading up, but none of the categories do. You're still online, able to see friend lists and such, but the store is malfunctioning.
You also shouldn't fret if you discover that an out of country account receives the message upon signing in, along the lines of, "...

Racism In Games
4 days 18 hours ago | by: Alexander Roy
A little while ago, there was a big uproar caused by footage of
Resident Evil 5. Some people were offended by the portraying of a white
person killing black people.
Racism, even today, is a big issue. We all know that there are people who hate others for their origin, skin color, all those things. We all know that this is, simply put, a "bad thing". However, I feel that there is a lot ...

GTA IV's effects on the current generation
5 days 19 hours ago | by: name
Before starting my blog(my first one I think), I'll have to make some things clear.
1. I love GTA (I also love GTA IV)
2. #1 isn't a sign that this post will bash GTAIV in anyway
3. #2 is true.
Now that it's out of the way, let's get started.
GTA IV's release has always been looked at as the true moment where next generation became "the current generation". Several people hel...

Mouse n Keyboard Vs. The Console
5 days 19 hours ago | by: strembones
Let me start off by saying that I'm a recently converted PC gamer who has moved to the dark side of the console world. My cpu died and for about the price of building a new high end PC plus monitor I could buy all 3 next gen consoles, so thats what I did. Its been a good transition but the one thing that boggles me is why the mouse and keyboard hasn't caught on in the console world. See I belie...

GTAIV Hysteria. And how I have overcome it.

Don't get me wrong. I love the hype, and I am part of it, but to calm myself down, I drew on one of those online walls.
I am scared my viral marketing campaign on R*'s benefit has already been destroyed by Internet terrorists, here's the

The last person on earth to play GTA-IV (that pre-ordered it)
7 days 16 hours ago | by: LuigiLogik
So you think you’re frustrated with all the GTA coverage? Is it because you’ve got the game, been experiencing it first hand and don’t need others to tell you how great it is? Or is it because you’re a GTA hater and can’t tolerate this abomination getting anymore attention then (insert favourite game) ever did? Well I’m sick of hearing about GTA too, sick of seeing my friends list filled with G...

Enough with the Uwe Boll vs. Michael Bay coverage!
8 days 13 hours ago | by: Jerkstore81
I'm extremely fed up with the reckless reporting by gaming journalists about Uwe Boll and Michael Bay. I don't even remember how it all started, yet the gaming press continues to obsessively cover it like the Paparazzi. The Boll and Bay drama has been mentioned frequently on every gaming podcast I listen to (including IGN, EGM, and 1UP) and as of this writing on 5/3 at 1pm CST it's on Joystiq's...

Am I The Only One Sick To Death of GTA IV Yet?
9 days 19 hours ago | by: LostProphet
There are 8 top stories shown on the front page. 6 are about GTA IV.
The second hottest story is about a guy who kind-of sort-of maybe looks a little bit like Niko.
This game is not perfect. In fact, it is so far from perfect that I am convinced the reviewers were all on drugs when they got this game.
I bought it after reading the reviews, expecting something special. I was ho...

Absolute Standards VS Relative Standards in Ratings
11 days 18 hours ago | by: JoelR
The following is personal opinion - you may not agree
I hate this crap about ratings in games.
With the new ratings winner being GTA IV it shows why I hate it...
GTA is given a "perfect" score and yet the game is not perfect.
Why? Well because it feels right or "they give games 10 that push the boundaries and revolutionize the industry".
A feeling does not determine ...
