MEMBER: Patch

As far as Sony’s next Playstation is concerned it will be a matter of bringing concrete evidence of new, groundbreaking software/hardware that is able to effectively separate itself from not only the competition, but also from last generation consoles. Innovative exclusive titles, powerful visuals, and the transition to more competitive pricing through current digital distribution models all have the potential of pushing the next Playstation over the top and into the minds of consumers. Talk of invasive anti-used game software, obnoxious DRM, or half-baked presentation of their products, should be avoided at all costs. I feel that Sony’s head start is only advantageous if it is used effectively.

My deepest condolences to anyone who actually bought the Aliens Colonial Marines game, never mind the season pass.

Same here. I was like "Yay! EBC episode in my ears for my work night".

But something seems indeed wrong. Not the end of the world thou.......or is it? ;)

Comment by HeyMcFly on February 14, 2013 at 2:26pm

Alpha Protocol was flawed, but a game I really really liked. I would love a sequel to that game. 

And why the full house hate, that was my childhood:P

The Axe Factor Poll!

How much does the Xbox One-Nvidia "scandal" bother YOU?

Powered by kwiksurveys.com

A lot. This is one step removed from the Killzone 2 pre-rendered E3 trailer0%
I don't care as long as the games look this good running on Xbox One hardware (which they probably will)0%
Not at all, people are being naive to think this practice doesn't happen all the time0%
I'll reserve judgement until we see if the games look noticeably different on Xbox One hardware0%

Today I 'ave been mostly rememberin': Metroid Games

As I am typing this, we're deep inside the annual summer gaming drought of 2013. The last interesting current gen game I played was Bioshock Infinite. I'm now waiting patiently for The Last of Us to drop through the mail slot. In the interim, I have amused myself by going back and playing a whole bunch of the old Metroid titles. And I've had an absolute blast doing so. It's been one of the most nostalgic and satisfying gaming periods of my entire life. I replayed and finished all five of the…

What is your greatest wish/expection for the new generation?

After some discussion with the axeheads I asked myself what I want out of the next generation of gaming. And my answer is suprising. |It is neither better grafics or better AI. It does not even have to do with hardware.

What I want from the next generation the most is the introduction of used game sales for digital games. As soon as one of the major platforms does that I will go all digital, never looking back.

So, what would you like to see?

Nintendo Says: If devs are worried about used game sales, they should make better games

This bold statement was made by Nintendo and features on the Polygon site.

EpicBattleCry - E3 2013 Special

Step one: its EpicBattleCry! E3 2013 has played host to exciting game news, dramatic moments, and, some would claim, out-and-out homicide. From EA dropping the AT-AT foot to Jack Tretton dropping the mic, this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo will certainly go down as one of the most memorable. With DK still on full-time looking-good-in-LA duty, Brent and Tony sat down to discuss Nintendo's showing at this year's show, the fallout (good and bad) from Sony and…

Sarah Is the most important character in THE LAST OF US. Here's why....*MASSIVE SPOILERS*

The Last Of Us is a slow game, intentionally slow, because it has a story to tell and takes the time to do it. Naughty Dog knows that if you're not making an "action" game, then you need to engage…Continue
