You're creating a definition of art where art must be something you observe rather than something you interact with.

I think that doesn't make any difference because you can just as easily say that videogames are a unique form of art that you CAN interact with.

No one ever said that art was something that had to be observed. No one has the authority to make up that rule. To me, games are art. I can't really say why. But I think that games ...

Are sculptures just chiseled rock?

Are paintings just messy, white canvas?

What makes films and paintings, and drawings, and photographs, and sculptures, and books art but somehow eludes the gaming medium?

I see developers envisioning characters and creating worlds to house them and creating the stories and the physics and emotions and packaging it an experience, and yet there efforts are sneered at by film critics who don't play games. ...

The 360 got my interest because the first Xbox was more powerful than the PS2 and I felt like the next Xbox would be more powerful than the next Playstation, naturally. But it didn't turn out like that.

I was also excited for the Wii because at the time it was called the Revolution and there were fanmade trailers for what it would look like and how it would work and they were pretty good so I figured Nintendo's final product would be amazing. Needless to say, I was ...

It costs a lot of money to bring out new hardware. Both MS and Sony have accrued a lot of losses on the hardware front, and if they've started making a profit on the consoles now, they might as well wait a few years so they can offset the losses.

I also think that Microsoft might want to wait as long as it can to see what kind of hardware Sony wants to bring out so they can try to match it, power-wise.

Quick question: Does extraction only come with the limited edition of Dead Space 2 or does it come with the standard copy?

And if it does only come with the limited edition, will there be a way to get it later on through PSN or something?

You mean in terms of the amount of cash you have to get? That does sound pretty hard, but those who get to level 60 will have earned it.

I wonder if you can boost in UC2 multiplayer. I haven't played it in months so I don't know, but in Halo 3 MP you can boost your way into becoming a general if you create a new account and lose several games on purpose initially so you can earn higher XP later on.

I thought it was okay. Some of the weapons were creative, and there was a part where I had to sneak past a T-Rex or something much scarier than that. I think the game was a 7/10.

Blank pieces of paper are not that innocent. Haven't you ever had a papercut? That shit is for real, son.

Why would anyone want to imagine their mum naked?

Also, for some reason I write using British pronunciation on the internet, and I'm an American. What the bloody hell is wrong with me?

EA has nothing to do with blizzard, cod, or guitar hero.

That sucks to hear. I was skeptical about this game when I saw that it hadn't improved much graphically. I know graphics don't matter, but when a sequel to a 3 year old game shows limited improvement in visuals I usually take that as an indication that the developers are not doing their jobs. If I'm optimistic I'll say that the developers have been concentrating on improving core gameplay, but if I'm pessimistic I'll say that the development of the game has been in ...

Jesus Christ. I saw that comment here today and was going to reply to it and call bullshit on the person but then I decided that he may be a real employee and I have no right to call him on it. But even so, I'm amazed that someone decided to use it to post an article on N4G.

I could pretty much make up some bullshit as well.

I feel like all game genres are morphing together into one big, samey genre and the glue that is putting them all together is shooting.

The shooter genre is festering and infecting everything. Nowadays, it seems to me that if a game doesn't contain a shooting aspect I am hesitant to buy it. It's something I am confessing to right now. I feel disinterested by games that don't have guns and yet when I'm playing shooting games I'm also becoming bored ver...

It sounds impressive, but I'm remembering the 600,000 different weapons claim for Borderlands and that ended up being a little meh. Not the game, just the variety.

mushroomwig, a graphics card from 4 years ago will continue to play current games on higher graphical settings than console games, and in 3 years it will play games on the same graphical settings as console games.

It's a myth that you have to upgrade every two years.
