| A solution to rising costs of development that does not burden the customer base. Advertisements are under utilized in videogames, and can provide better solutions then MP restrictions, DLC costs, and additional hardware sales. |

Blocking Blues |

Game Design
|

| Posted by Joshua Sterns on Sat, 09 Jan 2010 01:36:00 EST in
|

Comment In: On Men’s Sexualization in Video Games [Blog - 11/29/2011 - 10:05]

@ Alexsander I find it ... @ Alexsander I find it odd that Dantes Inferno didn't make it on Fox. Or if it did there was not as big of an uproar as with Mass Effect 2. Second level in your fighting in Lust. A demonic Cleopatra has tongues for nipples. The last fight faces you ... |

Comment In: Character Editors: Why Skyrim's is Irrelevent. [Blog - 11/28/2011 - 07:08]

I don't believe the author ... I don't believe the author wants to do away with character editors in Elder Scrolls. He, if I'm not mistaken, feels that all the detail he has put into the character is wasted in the game world. No mirrors. No up close shots depicting an emotional response. No other player ... |

Some of the comments on ... Some of the comments on Gamasutra lately have reminded me of the GOP debates. Contributions to a discussion, that you find important, should never boil down to irrelevant dribble. Such rhetoric cheapens an already poor discussion. |

Everyone has different tastes, and ... Everyone has different tastes, and the best way to enjoy a review is to understand the authors perspective. Take Yahtzee. I know what he likes. Deep story, real horror, and an awesome single player experience. Therefore I'm not upset when he poo poo's and this guy really loves his poop ... |
