It's really up to the indavidual to decide how he of she plays a game. Especially Sanbox games that give you freedom to whatever you please. Every game i've ever played, penalize you heavily for random acts of violence. The bottom line, is that developers if they so choose could push the violence bar even further, but responsibly don't. Ever notice how games like GTA and Saints Row never have children roaming the streets, or woman pushing strollers? These things are omitted on pur...

I totally agree with this notion, and I have a theory. We will call this the "seen it" theory. Movies are easy to pick on for their violence. The reason being, is that when people site movies for their graphic content, the person attacking the film has most likely "seen it". Even if a peson skims through an hour and a half movie, they can usually get a good grasp of what's happening.
The problem with video games, is that, some of these games can take 10 to 20 h...

Bioshock's protecting the little sisters can be obnoxious. Bioshock 2 is worse withe big sister battles. I found them unecessary in their abundance. I agree with this article though. Die and try again escort missions, suck! I don't mind them when they are scripted or streamlined. It's the long, drawn out, no checkpoint escort missions that should be banned.

Then you made the wrong choice. Far Cry 3 is the best game I've played since GTA IV

I bought a PS3 because of MLB The show. Now that the MLB liscense is up in the air, I wonder if EA will bring back MVP baseball. I will be pissed if they gobble up 1st party and 3rd party rights, like they did with the NFL. Either way, it will be the only way we see a baseball game on an xbox platform in the future

Sweet! I just exploded in my pants. BOOM! I rented it a couple of years ago and didn't get into it. Now I will. Can't wait for tomorrow. BOOM!

I read an article somewhere on n4g that said the gpu is slower intentionally and that it doesn't mean it's weaker than the ps3 or xbox360. It stated that it is done to reduce the amount of power consumption and that developers just need time to work with it. Once they do the Wii u should be able to edge out the current consoles but only marginally. They also cited the zombie u game as an example because it uses some lighting techniques that aren't possible in current gen consoles....

Lmfao! What a job to have. Description: Must be able to recognize an infinite amount of penis pictures drawn a million different ways.

Is it me, or does every time a new console launch, there is a sell out and then a retail drought, which causes people that don't even care, to get into a frenzy for it. Is this done on purpose by the console manufacturer or is Nintendo really having problems keeping up with demand? I can't imagine THAT many people being interested in this thing. It seems a little too late for me anyway. I feel duped by Nintendo. Ever since the gamecube, Something seems off about that company. As a gam...

These sort of articles make me uneasy. It's not that I buy into what the author of this article is stating, but the fact that the author decided to write it. Instead of pointing out the shortcomings of Sony and it's games division, why not offer some sort of solution? It sucks that mobile phone apps are slowly cutting into big market game sales. I don't think developers look at this and get nervous. I think from a business sense, they say,"the hell with this awesome big budg...

NOW I can finally get a Vita! Thank you Sony and Happy Holidays!

Nooooo Way. Is it April fools day? I refused to believe this game would be any good. From trailers, to previews, to screenshots. I thought it looked same'ol as everything else. It looked broken in alot of the preview videos. I can't believe it's getting critical acclaim. Now I have to put down CoD and go pick this up now. Damn it.

Looks the same to me

I don't think trophies and achievements are bad per say. I do think there are too many per game though. if I had it my way, you would get a bronze or equivalent for just playing. a silver would be achieved by finishing a game or reaching a certain score at a medium difficulty. a gold would be achieved by finishing a game at an exceptional skill level. the all mighty platinum or equivalent would be obtained, similar to how it is done now, by combing over a game, and finishing it's hard...

This article was purposefully written to tantalize Sony owners. Wow! If anything, Sony should be the ONLY company making a console. Their electronics are superior to everyone else's. That's why Apple wants to buy them

Imhave a friend suffering from ALS, he is paralyzed from the neck down. He uses a similar setup to write emails and navigate his computer. It uses his mouth and and a motion sensor for his eyes. It's pretty cool to see this in action and I can totally see where this could translate into gaming especially for the handicapped.

gameinformer is posting the codes every time they come in. Just used the last one and it worked. Start stocking up on keys folks

Looks great, although, it seems like it requires to much patience. Not that I mind the slower pace and timing of a good stealth game. I just hope that there is a balance between stealth and action. I hate it when games hog tie you so that you can only advance using the games canned stealth gimmick, ala. Splinter Cell, and Metal Gear. It would be nice know if you can approach the game by more aggressive means if you so choose. If so, then this game will be on my radar for this winter.

Can we stop having this argument? Comparing HD to 3D is comparing Apples to Oranges. A fair comparison to 3D should be something more along the lines of home audio equipment. Some people have outrageous 7.1 surround sound systems in their homes. These systems can be obnoxiously loud when watching a movie with the owner, for the owner wants to show you how good their stuff is. It's not for everyone, all movies support the dolby format, it's there if you want it. This pertains to 3D mo...
