Somebody doesn't have their history right.

First, "In 2005, Evans was working at Bullfrog with fellow Media Molecule co-founders, Mark Healey and Kareem Ettouney." Bullfrog did not even exist in 2005. It was purchased by EA several years earlier and was merged with EA UK in 2003 or 2004. Healy and Evans were working at Lionhead Studios when they were working on "The Room", NOT Bullfrog.It never would have been Healy's decision to sign with Valve to...

I keep seeing these posts and I just ignored it before. But it has annoyed me too much that I need to comment. Who uses the word "jink". Seriously, it is the weirdest slang term for "money" that I have ever seen or heard of. Every time I see these posts I can't help but think of both "chink" and "jizz".

That and the articles aren't any good yet they consistently get approved. All the site is doing is copy pasta a whole bunch of ...

This isn't a loophole. This is just like any give away contest that you will find at a fast food place or something similar. They have to have an option of "no purchase necessary" for legal reasons so that it isn't considered a lottery or gambling.

Yeah, but from the sound of it the Wii U will only be able to communicate with a single tablet controller at a time. There might be a way for them to get 2 of them going but it sounds like they are limiting it to one because of technical reasons. I don't know that there would be any reason to have more than one controller if the console can't communicate with more than one at a time.

The Wii U controller won't have a cost as Nintendo has said that they won't be selling the controller separate from the entire system. The Wii U currently only supports the ability to use a single Wii U Controller but can use up to 4 Wii Remotes.

But the point is that they should be wasting time and money on something just for the sake of it. If it isn't broke, don't fix it. In my opinion the CoD series has become increasingly stale but it has nothing to do with using the same animations.

I am actually interested in playing the single player of Modern Warfare 3. It looks like the team has spent their time wisely by creating awesome locations across the continent of Europe and that is much more interesting to m...

Why wouldn't they recycle animations? Clearly the several previous Call of Duty titles have some solid animation. Why go through all the trouble of making new animations and wasting that time when you already have a large collection of good animation?

Yeah, it is hard to nail down a Top 5 anticipated because it changes from person to person. I don't like Resident Evil and all and that new game from Shinji Mikami just looks ridiculous to me.

I would also put Skyrim at the tip top of my list of most anticipated since Mass Effect 3 has now been delayed into next year.

As the article mentions, I think that there are some Hollywood actors that have done a great job in games. Tricia Helfer is great and I think she fits into the video game world quite well.

After all is said and done I think its good to see that acting in video games in general has greatly improved over the past 5 years. It wasn't too long ago that have any voices in a game was rare and special and those games got away with some pretty terrible voice acting.

As long as Microsoft's profits are up we won't be seeing a new console from them. If you look at Nintendo their profits were down some 60% lately. This is a major indicator of a new console. Nintendo has to release a new system in order to make profit because the Wii has gone past its peak and is very much on a down turn.

The Xbox 360 is also around its peak but it isn't starting to really have a down turn yet the way that the Wii has. It is obvious that Microsoft...

Ok, let us really compare if consoles were more like cell phones in the analogy that you used.

First off, Android isn't the only phone OS. iOS is still hugely popular as is the Blackberry OS and now Windows Phone 7 is on the scene. I personally love Android and have been using it since the G1 first came out but the cell phone market is still very split up, even more so than the console market.

Now, let us image that all the other cell phones didn't ex...

It won't happen and we shouldn't want it to happen. What if we only had one PC? What if Linux and Mac OS didn't exist and you only had Windows and you could only have Intel? That would be a recipe for pure disaster.

What if TVs were all the same? What if we didn't have CRT, plasma, LCD, LED, OLED, and all that?

Differences in hardware and software are both absolutely necessary and inevitable. Neither the Xbox 360 nor the Wii would exist if eve...

Why did anybody approve this article? The PSP-3000 came out over 2 years ago. This is on par with somebody posting a review of the Xbox 360 Pro with 60GB hard drive.

Who approved this piece of trash article? The news post is barely two sentences long and the subject matter is absolutely worthless. I am getting fucking sick of all the terrible shit on N4G lately, tbh. This site has become MUCH less effective at hi-lighting important news in the video game world.

Yes, it can play games, but so what. The news of the iPhone coming to Verizon has nothing to do with the fact that it can play games. Android phones can play games but that doesn't mean that N4G should have an article posted every time a new Android phones comes out or gets updated. That is literally just as relevant to video games coming to Verizon.

Do you get my point? It would be like reporting news about a new McDonald's being built somewhere just because their pl...

It is great to see that N4G has such an intelligent base of users that they would approve a story that in only barely tangentially related to video games. Seriously though, this site isn't for tech news, its for video games.

We all saw these videos a year ago and it was interesting. But 5 seconds of actual thought will allow you to come to the realization that this product has no mass market appeal whatsoever. And even the people to whom it does appeal, the game gun will get annoying to use withing a day, if not sooner.

I really wish people thought for 2 seconds before they made wild statements like "this will sell more than Kinect or Move". Seriously, that is just a stupid statement.

They completely fail to mention what "dark-skinned" means in the article. I understand that it is something interesting to point out that the Kinect might have an issue with facial-recognition under certain conditions. But, they could at least be more specific when they say "dark-skinned". I could use the term "dark-skinned" to describe somebody who is black, or arab, or even possibly native american or mexican.

They also don't explain how da...

I didn't go up their because I neither play WoW nor did I attend BlizzCon. I also don't think it has anything to do with intelligence, he happened to have read a single detail in a book that didn't match with Cataclysm.

Are we really using this guy as an example of victory for gamers? Not to be completely rude but this kid needs to stop playing WoW and reading all its book and learn how to have some social skills. This guy should be the perfect example of what not to be like and is the stereotype of all nerds and he gives everybody who plays games a bad name.

Im not saying you should be passionate about video games, I know I sure am. I am just saying that people absolutely need to get out an...
