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.
It's PlayStation not Playstation...
Yep, I agree with this. Give me an old fashioned FPS arena game like UT any time over a COD like game with perks and favoritism because of the people that are more dedicated or addicted.
This SH!T just got real!!!!!
That was from this column writer, and honestly its true, and its killing my favorite medium, or at least giving it an ugly beating.
My friends play online shooters and MMOs, my supervisors play online shooters, etc
And yet, when I ask everyone what they thought of this game or that games campaign mode, they look at me like I'm crazy.
I brought up Dead Space at work, and how it is one of my favorite horror games of all time, next to Doom, Condemned, Fear, Silent Hill, etc of course...
and they look at me like I'm crazy, then go back to talking about their AC130 kills the night before.
Even bringing up REAL multiplayer shooters that require skill make them scowl. I tell them that a match of Tribes CTF back in the day truly required skill and definitely teamwork. Check Vid.

Again, I'm waiting for a developer to release a ridiculously amazing shooter, that also slaps mainstream gamers in the face, offering some sort of challenge.
I'm talking kickass weapons that are even to some degree, teamwork encouragement, no powerups and special abilities, no ranks or prestige nonsense, and how bout some randomly generated map and terrain layouts to keep people on their toes, instead of sitting at the same sniper spot every round.
It's only opinion of course. I know games are like this now because it keeps people coming back for more, but its just sad ya know... :/
