I call bs on that. LoL was a new brand from a relatively new company and its wiping the floor with every large brand free to play game there is.

All it takes to be king is a good game and the will power to make it right. Where wrong is catering to publishers and whiny people that just don't like that gameplay style.

They'll come along eventually. Square has been putting out various rpg's onto phones for a while now. They don't end up on the top sellers list but thats probably because they cost around thirty times more than most things on the app store. As they should since their thirty or more times the game.

At some point somebody will manage to hit something more in the middle. Bite sized phone appropriate game experiences that still manage to have depth and complexity and...

I think it's mostly for people with consoles who can't go download extra house mods. Or the house building mods. Doesn't sound too exciting to me from the feature list but I'm pretty sure it's just filler until more landmass arrives.

And ratchet and clank. Even just some ps2 hd remakes would be a blast.

The could pretty much just unleash an endless stream of ps2 games for it and I'd be pretty happy.

I agree, I only really played the demo but the whole of that felt un challenging. Combat, climbing, puzzles. It was all so easy AI didn't feel engaged.

Maybe I'll pick it up cheap sometime.

They should suck it up and make some innovative games.

"But gaming on Windows? Uh oh. That's looks a lot more like the Microsoft that's been (mostly) kicking Sony and Nintendo's asses up and down the block for the better part of a decade."

Lol what. Microsoft hasn't kicked nintendos but anywhere ever. The nintendo has sold half again as many wii's as microsoft sod xbox's this generation (90 some million to 60 some million). Not to mention that nintendo spends a fraction of what microsoft does on ...

They had all these great sounding concepts and the only game I know for sure they put out (without looking it up) is wipeout. Studios shouldn't get pidgeon holed into one game by publishers.

What I think betheseda have done is split the people working on skyrim into two teams. One small and one large. The small one is working on content like dawnguard and whatever this next dlc is. While the other is working on larger dlc, they could possibly even be working on spreading the game out past the borders of skyrim. Everyone knows the map extends through most of cyrodiil and morrowind, plus they have the passes/ entrance gates to those areas. Which they did say was just for immersion ...

duke nukem forever on this list was pretty funny. Statistically nobody bothered lol.

It also has undeniably better graphics, drastically cheaper games if you buy through sales, and a huge variety of inspired indy games.

In exchange we have to deal with many different kinds of shitty drm, from games for windows live, to blizzards bs. Plus we are unable to trade old games, though if you buy them on a sale it's not a big deal at all. In some regards it's kinda even but pc is a bit more versatile and cheaper in the long run than console gaming. As long a...

It says it's releasing on current gen consoles xbox 360 ps3 and wii u. So yea it's actually probably not going to next gen consoles which haven't yet been announced btw.

Everyone here talks like they're already announced.

I agree it's gotten super simple in this day and age. Everything is plug and play, you barely have to worry about drivers anymore. Most people are all intimidated by the hardware aspect but really it's mostly as easy as plugging cords into things. Every item that goes in the pc has one slot that it can go in and it won't fit in the wrong one. Just look at both ends find the female part to the male part and shove it in. The whole thing is easier and more durable than everybody thin...

I think your right larry. Ontop of all you said sony dumped 60 million or so into developing the game, most of which was spent on the game engine itself. Making it work smooth and look pretty. That being the case they will very likely release gt6 on the ps3 since it'll be a cheaper business move. Plus after seing how long it took gt5 to actually come out I doubt they would push to have it be one of the first games on a new console. It would more than likely take another six years to come ...

It leads into a things we want in red dead 2 article. Which isn't a complaint the guy had some good ideas which I quite agree with. I will however have to add one thing to his list.

PEEEEEEEE CEEEEEEE SUPPORT!

Dude it's the hulk. Thats the schtick, he types as if he were the hulk yelling everything.

Ps this was a really good article. Way to go hulk.

Back when it came out I played through mgs2 and didn't have a problem with it. I was actually quite surprised when the hd versions were announced and everyone was complaining about raiden. I theoretically understand the point the complainers make but in realistic terms they just come across as having low self esteem.

Real men don't whinge about anything. Everyone stop whinging about all the things. ;)

I just like to think gaming is still in the jason and the argonauts period of writing. Which if you don't know about it is the ancient greek story about the guy and his crew who go questing for the golden fleece. They battle a bunch of monsters and get kicked around by gods before jason triumphs in the end.

As stories go though it's pretty light on characterization. Which is to be expected with something written in 3000 bc give or take a few hundred years.

Then it won't be mobile anymore it'll be something else. By that point it'll likely be accessing a home server constantly or cloud streaming.

I don't get your disagrees haven't they been accused of cloning numerous games.

This article is too sensational talking about david and goliath. Like it's some big battle for sales between two markets. Sorry not how things work. Big publishers put games out for both areas, both areas make lots of sales. Console sales going down is not related to mobile sales. They go down because of periods of time with few game releases. Consoles fail because of bad price points,...
