99% of the Link cosplayers that get thrown about the internet are. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of non-attention-grabbing male Links around conventions. Go to a few, you'll see.
Wow! If this is the real deal (heh), we know these things about Halo 4:
1) It's a Halo game.
2) Stairs.

Dragon's Dogman? I'm in, so long as the day-one on-disc DLC includes Batman.
They didn't really mention anything but the current-gen and proposed next-gen controllers on this one. Funny discussion, really. I liked their idea of having a mixed-control console with multiple options instead of focusing on just one, and the astute observation that the Wii U is basically just a giant, more powerful, TV-sourced DS system.
They really couldn't figure out what to do with Metal Gear using that Wii U controller??? Make it the scope, of course! Have it ...
Whoa, slow down there, Theeg, you made my point and then some. They're making great sequels, they're making money, and they have dudes up top, further up than Blizzard or Activision, that love making money and not much else, and cash is more easily made off of familiar and long-standing properties (see every movie remake out there - it's not necessarily true in practice, but it's the marketing zeitgeist), so yeah. Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 will continue to make money, and they&...
They're saying it because they can. Blizzard has been making monster cash for years; why would they have to adopt an entirely different design philosophy to compete with a very distinctive title? They've got a stranglehold on the MMO, the strategy game, and the loot-grabbing action-RPG at the moment, and they're owned by a franchise-inclined megacompany.
Now, these games all started with norm-bucking innovative designs and risk-taking - WoW took so long to come t...
Not agreeing with this guy at all. Sure, the iOS version isn't the best at the moment, but it started out at three bucks. Less than you'd pay for one gallon of gas. Do I think it's worth the higher price it'll be after the launch sale's over? Not at all, but for three bucks, it's a small amount of nostalgia for the "What's an emulator?" crowd. There's always the possibility that they'll make changes to it when the bad reviews hit.
...
Because they own the IP already, and people who played Spyro as teens on the PS1 are now at the age where they could be popping out kids of their own. It's the same reason why they're rebooting 80's franchises right now - you'll bring your kids to that movie because *you* want to know what's going on with that franchise, for better or worse.
Look, I'm not going to play Skylanders, but that doesn't mean that I think the "activate locked content...
Good insight from a development point-of-view. As locked-down and closed-off as iOS devices can be, at least they're always going to be *about* the same damn thing, unlike with Android where one phone's screen's one resolution, the next one's very slightly different, something's up with the CPU on this other one, and then the manufacturers of those phones take the heat from the common consumer (who couldn't tell an OS from their butts).
Publishers are finding iOS to be a place where their games will sell. The App Store's a ton better to browse than the Android Market (although it's certainly not perfect), and there just isn't much for games on WP7 at the moment. So, iOS is the springboard, everything else comes later.
Now, if Google or Microsoft sustainably invest a ton of money into some great indie developers to make great games for their smartphones and tablets, this may change, or at least ev...
PaRappa The Rapper is this game's Pit - soon enough, people will be a bit miffed that they added this guy to a fighting game, but they haven't seen a significant PaRappa release in a long, long, long, long, long, long time. Not as long as Kid Icarus, mind you, but this is Playstation we're talking about here; they started later.
Looks like Rovio's quickly becoming Angry Birds, Inc. I'm interested to see what these guys come up with! I like the HTML5 cross-platform idea, hope it pans out well for them.
@Piegoose:
One in the same, dude.
I agree with SilentNegotiator to a point. I wouldn't be surprised if they saw a C&D order from Activision and bailed, but I'd go even further with this:
If Bethesda can bully Mojang about the use of the word "Scrolls," Activision could easily bully Elastic about the use of the word "Warfare" with a descriptor proceeding it - they wouldn't even need the stuff in the concept video, it would just be a bit more ammunition for them. Now, it'...
I love that trailer. 4 minutes of what's new, then the big finish, the title... and OH BY THE WAY CASUAL DIFFICULTY. lol
"If the PC version isn't unique then what's the point in buying it really?"
Mods. And if they're not there...
That precedence doesn't make sense either. BioShock came out on PS3 back when downloadable content was still a relatively new frontier on consoles - especially on PlayStation, as they didn't have the luxury of having a universally-online console during their last cycle. The attitude toward and support for DLC is much stronger now. And Limbo was made by a much, much smaller studio. Funded as such.
Both of those cases don't point to what may happen to Dark Souls. I ...
He's very sorry that he doesn't have news about it. Probably a contractual thing. Now it isn't always good to generalize, but in Japan there's a bit more of a cultural-historical mandate to be polite, if even overly so at times.
I don't think this is the end of this content making it to consoles, this is pretty much the supernice version of "We do not comment on rumors or speculation."
Wow! Atari Teenage Riot is in there- very JSRF...
Dark-hollow, that picture is the only redeeming thing regarding the time I wasted reading this article! That's awesome.
