I can only agree. I would also add — do not pre-oreder games unless you're absolutely sure of the quality of the final product.

Exactly.  Boogie, with this video, is just reminding us that we are the ones with the power to stop all this bullshit.  I hope the majority of people who watched this video actual listen to his advice because it always seems like the vocal minority is against it, but the idiotic majority couldn't care less/don't understand how horrible these business practices can be and how detrimental they can be for the future.

Yep me agrees ^_^ btw ask yourself will there be a server to run your game in 10 years(...or 3 years??How many years will they support this game???) when you whanna replay that "old" title...especialy when EA likes to cut server support for their older games...it was EA right?

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%

No EpicBattleCry This Week :[

Hey all. As I said in this week's episode of The Axe Factor, we won't be able to record EpicBattleCry this week. With DK still out of town and a last minute snag in Tony's schedule, we just weren't able to carve out the time to get together.

In light of today's news vis-a-vis Microsoft, that might not be such a terrible thing since we normally record on Tuesday and we would have completely missed out on discussing this dramatic reversal. In any case, we should be…

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

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
