We’ve had our mindless button smashers and we’ve had our space operas but just how often do we stop and think whether it actually all makes sense? Just what is it all about? There used to be a time in gaming when the most absurd concept soared like an eagle. Let’s take a peek at some of our favourite games of past years…
Two-day event includes exclusive reveals, trailers and playable games on show floor.
The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.
CEO Haruki Satomi said Sega will "take these lessons into account for future initiatives"
Well, I can certainly explain DooM. You're part of the first squad to react to the crisis, of which there weren't many, because nobody imagined aliens or demons truly existed before this and the military are only really there to keep the peace. That is, there wasn't a strong military presence to begin with. Furthermore, they're on a moon orbiting Mars. This game's universe seems to view space travel in a more realistic sense, so sending reinforcements from Earth would take months, and from Mars it could be a day or more before they can scramble together even an investigatory party. The events on Phobos take place over a few hours, by which time the protagonist is transported to Deimos, which has been hijacked and sent to Hell through a dimensional rift, thus being far beyond the reach of anyone else.
And it's pretty obvious through the story that not every marine is as hardy and superhuman as the Doom Guy, as they are often slaughtered without difficulty in the background stories. Doom Guy's just a one in 7 billion bad-ass.
And that guy could be your co-op partner, if you so wish.
Very cool article
I'm pretty sure this guy just read that Cracked article from a few months ago...and decided to publish it under his own name.
Very nice article. Its cool all them things you miss
I had no idea that the invading MK characters were aliens to begin with. I just thought they were supernatural beings or some kind of alternate universe beings...interesting nonetheless.
And the Pokemon paragraph made me chuckle a bit considering I never realized how depressing the subject matter is. It is essentially the Hunger Games for pets/animals.
Edit: I never even noticed the 2nd guy on the Doom cover! Wow. Seriously, where is that 2nd guy?
