It's any game that is "violent" or deemed violent.
Why does not being able to see a tiny picture of a naked girl so important to otherwise ignore what appears to be a fun game? What principle is that, cutting off your nose to spite your face?
I don't see why this is such a big deal. Maybe it is for people that don't get to see a naked female form in person on a regular basis, but this doesn't really affect me. If you're that desperate for naked girls in your games, either find an old copy of the guy game and try to guess which one is the 17 year-old before you get busted for child pornography, or go to the interwebz and google boobs. Here I'll even help you get started:
Oh you!
All that time they were talking about what happened to the people on the island before the zombies show up and then showing Roman turn into a fucking zombies after he opened El Dorado. That didn't explain shit! The guy who wrote this is TOTALLY correct that nothing was ever explained about the zombies.
Oh and in case some dumbass can't tell: /S
Or did I count only 4. Maybe the fifth one is an ironic hidden twist?
EDIT: Also, except for the MGS2 point, none of those are twists. Maybe this guy should look up what the term "plot twist" means. You could claim that Uncharted had a plot twist with the "zombies" but it was actually explained both before and after they appeared. The other two just don't count at all in any way.
Fail article is fail.
You guys don't understand what this is. The industry, in cooperation with the retail sector, SELF REGULATE with things like the ESRB and store policies. This is exactly what the film industry does. You can't go to jail for letting a kid go see an R rated movie so why should you go to jail for selling a "violent" game?
It is not illegal for a minor to see an R rated movie in California, or anywhere else for that matter. People get confused. The MPAA is a voluntary means of self-regulation within the film industry. Just like the ESRB. For example, if you worked at a theater and let a 14 year-old into an R rated movie, you could lose your job, but you would not face criminal charges for doing so. The ESRB works the same way. The game industry polices itself in order to prevent government regulation.

Those are good numbers all around. The console with the lowest sales still sold over 300K, in June. Those are good number for everyone regardless of whatever fanboy allegiance. But to me it doesn't really matter because I have a 360 and a PS3, and I've had a Wii before so this dick measuring contest is just pure amusement for me. Get your rulers, guys.
Just not in the way people would think or necessarily want. Developers, and more so publishers, listen to the way people vote with what matters: their money. Fanboys and the hardcore can bitch and moan about this and that but the fact remains that what sells always outweighs what people say. Just look at MW2. People were bitching about no server support and all other kinds of shit, signing petitions, proposing boycotts, blah blah blah. And what happened? Everyone and their brother still fucki...
Yeah I noticed it. Stupid bitch got confoosed.
The law is based upon a bullshit assumption that kids are harmed by playing violent games. The law also ignores the fact that it is most often the uninformed, apathetic parents who buy their children these games in the first place. There is a method of self-regulation already in place via the ESRB.
There is no other form of media that is controlled in this way, or attempted to be controlled in this way. For example, if you work at a movie theater and let a 14 year old kid int...
"“Violent video game” means a video game in which the range
of options available to a player includes killing, maiming, dismembering,
or sexually assaulting an image of a human being"

I say start in Egypt and then go to Mexico and deal with all the pyramids. That could work the alien angle because of all the theories of how the pyramids were built. Or vice versa.
The idea that all you need as a "story" in a game is, "They're bad. Kill them all." Most game's stories never really progress much further than this. And even in games like burnout, especially burnout, the action/game play is based off of violence. Half of the fun of burnout is crashing and sending your opponents into the wall or other cars or whatever. It's violence with inanimate objects but it's still violence. Most games have violent elements in the gam...
Definitely the best thing about the game is the way the conversations are handled. I like the fact that you can't take all day to try to figure out what to say, you have to make quick decisions.
Examples of correct usage:
"The effects of 3D on people"
VS
"How 3D affects people"

EDIT: Just because you don't understand that as the sentence is constructed, affect is used as a noun. Your definition categorizes it as a verb. Can you tell the difference between the two? It doesn't m...
I think you are wrong there. You can't tell how much of a market there is for porn because while gaming in public is considered okay, watching porn in public is not. Also, if you were to base market size on the number of sites dedicated to it on the internet, porn wins, no questions asked.
Also, porn feeds into a natural urge, the sex drive. Gaming falls into the need for mental stimulation just as other forms of entertainment do. But the sex drive is stronger than the n...
It's from the flick Young People Fucking. It's a pretty good flick.

How does not getting all the trophies/achievements in a game take away from the sense of personal achievement gained by finishing a game? That's like saying you no longer enjoy your orgasm because the person you're fucking didn't get off. Now you might be disappointed that you didn't do it for them, but that doesn't take away from the fact that you still felt good when you got off.
And in an era of trophies/achievements, if you don't have them all, the...
