I like gaming and I'll do what I can that I think is reasonable without overstepping someone else to keep the hobby around for as long as I'd like it to be.

But there's a line I can't cross. And that's the shoes of a "stockholder" where a gamer cares more about sales and development costs than the product that they produce. I don't control their funds nor will they care to listen to what I have to say on the matter because I'm not a stock...

Why do you lack faith in good studios? If they're good studios, they'll make the games that'll sell just fine without our intervention. Not every game has to sell 1M copies just to make a profit. We don't know how many copies they need to break even and most of them aren't intent on telling us. So here we are going on blind faith that and scare tactics that things like piracy are a threat to every dev out there when piracy's been around since the 80s. The dev team that...

Last time I checked we're "gamers". Not "stockholders". If gaming dies, I'll find another hobby. Unless of course...gaming's all that you're good at. (not directed at you personally)

I love it when jailbreak-related articles are submitted and approved. <3

Best flamebait ever, this beginning year.

More proof that the PS3's BD Drive is too slow to stream data properly so the HDD is used as a crutch to offload some parts of the data.

GamingBolt hasn't played Amnesia: The Dark Descent yet....

I guess it's okay. I just hope that devs don't start programming for Sandy Bridge and leave out traditional PowerPC setup that would otherwise end up with full-range PCs underutilized, as if console ports couldn't get any worse.

I like the art concept, but I'd ease up on the loose clothing. Back in the 14th century, Italian Guards were brain-dead and everyone can free-run. Now, we have lasers and Satellites that can track a target. Best to be as inconspicuous as possible. I'm thinking.....Sam Fisher? A nicely dressed assassin isn't good if he's dead. Also it's dangerous now to engage in close-quarters because we're in the future where we can shoot cannons from our hands that didn't come fr...

Let the ban pass. Let the new age of a gaming renaissance begin where you can't bank off violence anymore! I want more minecraft dammit!

It's called "scrubbing". Wii tried to "bloat" and that backfired.

Seeing these hacks makes me want to get a Kinect myself. Sure I got my PS-Eye, but it looks like the homebrew scenes going in the Kinect direction and I want in on that!

Patches should be a convenience for devs, not a crutch. It's obvious some games weren't ready to be released.

Holy shit, NO.

GFW sucks. Period. Not up for debate.

I'd argue that The Boss is more significant in gaming because it represented a woman as a positive role model and mentor to a man! Usually it's the other way around, but Aerith's death is as stereotypical as ever when looking at it retrospectively. The dumb brunette deserved it after she ran off on her own like an idiot she was.

Aerith "lol, I'll take care of Sephiroth for everybody!"
*gets stabbed by Sephiroth*
Sephiroth "lol, ...

I feel that graphics are still important. The style of the presentation (graphical technology, art-style, color palette) can definitely make/break people's experiences: "Greys of War, Greyzone 2, Halo Rainbow-funtime). Going by the current trend of games, there's far too many shooters that play the same and feel the same, so devs pick different styles of presentation to make their game look unique. CoD did it with Modern warfare, Killzone did it with hyper-realism, Crysis did it ...

Am I the only one that initially registered the GoW3 acronym as 'God of War 3' and instinctively thought, "didn't God of War 3 already come out?"
