It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Microsoft and Midway need to die.When they do,nobody is coming to their funeral
I disagree. Midway were more than excellent in 2004, I'm sure they can get back there again.
Sigh. Interplay opens again, Midway closes. just can't have all the publishers, can you?
they gave us mortal combat. midway was good in my book.
Wtf, maybe Game Player should die so everyone who writes for it and makes a living can see how it is to lose your job and budget your remaining cash for simple things like food. Companies are laying off left right and center, no one is hiring and those that are hiring are taking the best of the best. This guy is making it sound like finding a job is easy, tell that to everyone in the unemployment line buddy! For many what ever Midway is they still put food on the table for them.
That being, Midway was run by corrupt management, it was really in 08 old management bailed leaving only the new guys. Now these new guys don't take power right away, they are put through a probationary phase before being let go. Booty and his management team became official weeks before Chapter 11, definitely not enough time for them to turn things around. Games like Wheelman and Mortal Kombat vs. DC are proof enough Midway is changing, very few bugs and popular games to boot. The problem is when Midway does make good games (75-80+ on MC)no one bothers noticing, when they make bad games everyone suddenly notices them.
The article itself is crap, his reasoning is roughly a paragraph long on why Midway deserves to die. Shame on this jack a$s for wishing ill upon others who are just trying to make a living, its not the developers fault management rushes out a game.
Gameplayer.com.au deserves to die. Midway gave us some awesome games.
