One of the guys said that someone from Blizzard (ex) was working on Champions Online or whatever the latest spin off of that is and somewhat made an argument that since a blizzard guy is working on it - it should be good. The response to that was something along the lines of "yeah, because Hellgate was such a great game". I got the feeling that he was sort of implying that the makers of Hellgate weren't good developers or something. Could be wrong. But I need to rant about it. Hellgate being not what it was supposed to be isn't because the developers sucked, those were many or most of the guys who gave us Diablo. It seems that people like to bash Hellgate and its team a lot but no one really comes to defend the guys. After all they had to make a game quickly, develop the technology for it and make it playable and a hit right off the bat because otherwise they'd sink. That isn't really possible with the limited funds and other problems they had. No one really takes that into consideration, they couldn't afford to "bring it when its ready". They are great developers and if they had the time I am sure that Hellgate would have been the amazing game that everyone thought it would have been. Give the guys a break, ok? Thanks, This is a bit old but I got pissed off at it again after seeing Invisible Walls’ latest podcast.

I agree with you guys. I agree that it's up to the gaming community to put a stop to this "Sh**nanigans!" But I don't think it's reasonable to tell people, "Boycott this game!!" Because "at the end of the day" people are still going to buy it no matter what because they want to play it. That method of change I don’t think will ever work. What I think will work and/or start an anti-Gamestop (for lack of a better term) movement. Are the employees of Gamestop taking this into their own hands. By selling less used games, and more new games. Tell costumers to buy just the normal edition of a game, if the collectors edition is crap/overpriced (Gears 2, Batman Arkham)" Also just let people know about smaller lesser known games like Muramasa and Madworld just to name a few, games that are amazing but no one knows about them "ya know." "Because at the end of the day," We Gamestop employees are gamers our selves, and are sick of this "Sh**nanigans!" and have the ability to start something.PSLove the show; keep up the lame puns and sarcastic remarks! They are great. My Battle Cry goes out to all game stop employees (including my self).

It allows serious game traders like myself and many others to trade in their games for points based on how new, rare or crappy they are. These points then can be used to acquire other games based on their availability and with such a serious community of gamers it’s not to hard to find the game you’re looking for. The reason I’m giving this shout out is because it says FUCK YOU to Gamestops and other douche bag companies monopoly on used games. Why the hell would I want to go to Gamestop and trade in Street Fighter 4 for $20 when I can go to Goozex.com and trade it in for full value. kthxbye I need to learn to proof read first…

my battlecry goes out to release dates

how long has it been since a release date has been accurate on the first or even up to the third date given. if developers could just give a release date and call it an estimation until they are about 2 months from release and then release a date, it would allow shops and customers to properly anticipate the game. so props to game developers for inaccurate information and for always keeping us on the edge of our seats
