It's really funny watching Randy Pitchford's keynote at DICE now after the whole Aliens catastrophe. He tricked everyone alright...

Yup, the man is a straight up hustler. He reminds me of a used car salesman or a Boxing promoter. I don't begrudge anyone for trying to make a profit or for being financially successful. I'm not a Liberal. But this man has went above and beyond in promoting Aliens and Duke Nukem. All the while knowing both games were horribly broken. I got no problem with so-called bad games when it concerns story, acting, ect. Some of my favorite games have rocked a 65 metacritc score. But when a well-known publisher/developer knowingly releases an unfinished game, and does so at full retail price, that is a different story.

If you are not quite sure what I am talking about, go watch any interviews with Pitchford when concerning Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens Colonial Marines.

To close out the summer, Rockstar is bringing us my number 3 most anticipated game, GTA V. You might ask, why is this game only at the number 3 spot on the list? Well…

From Rags to Riches – Game Dev Tycoon

When I was growing up, I remember playing alot of simulation games where you’d create either a hospital, a theme park, a zoo, you name it there was a `Tycoon` game for it. Now a new indie game has come out of the wood work and brought back such fun memories of said childhood. This is Game Dev Tycoon.Image
 Game Dev Tycoon starts you out small, working from your garage with 70K, no fans and little knowledge of what is…

I'm Making A Game

Actually that's been the plan for a while now I just failed to mention it here before. I did type up a development document, track down freeware programs to make it and finished the concept art work. Then I spent the last four months doing nothing. I recently came to the conclusion that my idea, while interesting, was waaaay too ambitious a project for me to undertake right now. I hope to revisit the idea sometime in the future but for now it's very much in storage.

So why bring this…
