Top Ten: More Game Titles That Sound Like Porn Titles

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 10:20:02 GMT

A great title is a definite asset to a game, as nobody wants to be stuck with the opposite. But sometimes, in the search for that "perfect title" a loss of irony, double entendre, or common sense can result in these very unfortunate game titles. I had a lot of fun looking for these, and noticed that without trying I mostly found Sega Titles, who knew Sega was this perverted! As always, these are in no particular order.

Panzer Dragoon – Sequel, Spin Off, Start Over or Stay Dead?

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 13:13:41 GMT

Welcome to this week's, "Sequel, Spin Off, Start Over or Stay Dead?" Each week Diehard GameFAN is going to look at a dormant franchise that was once pretty popular, but for some reason has disappeared into the sands of time. Diehard GameFAN staffers will have four options for what they want to have happen to the series and you can see them in the title of this piece.

Today's franchise is arguably the best of the 32 bit generation. All three games released during this time were considered system sellers in regards to the Sega Saturn. The third game in the series is almost always listed as one of the best role playing games ever made and the eventual fourth game in the series won our 2003 XBOX Exclusive Game of the Year Award. It's been nearly seven years since a Panzer Dragoon game has graced a system, unless you count the Sega Ages game for the Playstation 2. Panzer Dragoon Saga is one of the most expensive and sought after games on the used game market and the series is nearly universally loved by gamers and critics alike. However, since purchasing Sega, Sammy has allowed the series to go dormant for nearly a decade. Is there still life in one of Sega's biggest IP's? Eight members of the Diehard GameFAN staff discusses their thoughts on what should be done with the franchise.

'Kill Screen' Might Just Change The World Of Gaming Magazines

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:02:00 GMT

Gunaxin writes: "You would be doing well not to have heard that print media is dying out, which makes it all the more surprising to hear that a group of well established journalists and writers (who have worked for The New Yorker, The Daily Show and The LA Times amongst others) are launching a new gaming magazine.

But this isn't going to be just another voice in the crowd screaming to be heard – unlike other magazines, Kill Screen is devoted to "long format writing" about Video Games. By long format, we mean feature pieces like Vanity Fair, Wired, or major newspapers do on a regular basis – full length articles about something specific, not puff-pieces about nothing in particular. It's true that a lot of magazines do long articles, but mostly they take the form of several page previews (see: every article ever written about the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare series). The brains behind Kill Screen are interested in something rather different:"

GrE writes, "No one was really surprised when Modern Warfare 2 shattered records. Not to mention that Madden will always sell consoles. Even throwing "Mario" on a game title is a license to print money. When in comes to video games, there are certain franchises that that can be banked on with some degree of certainty. However, the sleeper hits are what really makes the game industry special. Enjoying a game that you never expected can be one of the greatest experiences in gaming. 2009 saw many such hits that will change the industry for years to come. Here is my list for the top 5 surprise games of 09:"
