Comment In: Sony: Piracy Has Taken 'Big Chunk Of Game Sales' From PSP [News - 04/21/2009 - 07:24]

@ Ian: Or you could ...

@ Ian: Or you could fix the reason why piracy exists in the first place: Developers, marketers and publishers taking advantage of consumer ignorance to expoit sales. Bashing people over the head with how wrong piracy is will only make them want to do it more, considering they feel it ...

David, just because it's a good business deal in the short run, doesn't mean that it will be good for the future. Exclusive DLC does nothing but hurt the consumer in the long run, which will end up hurting the businesses as well. If you are going to make a ...

When a store has a theft problem, they are out the product they purchased. When a game is downloaded, the product is not lost. It is still there, waiting to be purchased. Lower the price of the games and more people will buy them. Can I get my money back ...

It's about time there has been something new and unique in this genre actually be implemented in such a way to give fantastic results. Hopefully this will cause other developers to try and make their MMO experiences a little more unique. However I sense a great deal of copy-catness in ...

Comment In: Growing Your Long Tail: Hines On Bethesda's Keen Focus [Feature - 04/10/2009 - 07:10]

How about supporting your followers ...

How about supporting your followers on the PS3 then It's not like I'm going to buy a 360, another copy of the game and pay for LIVE just to get their DLC. They should support all versions equally. Exclusive DLC is a crock, and it makes their game poorer for ...

Comment In: Opinion: Spiele Uber Alles [News - 04/06/2009 - 08:33]

I like the fact that video games can be any number of things, still be successful and still be games. I like Grand Theft Auto IV. I like God of War. I like Final Fantasy XII. I like Guild Wars. I like Rock Band. I like Desktop Tower Defense. I ...

Is there anything preventing them from creating a patch that lets people play over LAN networks I also bought this game and now can't play multiplayer with it. A friend of mine bought it for his two brothers about a month before they shut down the servers...they loved the game, ...

Comment In: Unlocking Achievements: Rewarding Skill With Player Incentives [Feature - 04/01/2009 - 04:00]

I dunno, I like and ...

I dunno, I like and dislike achievements as a player. I think they are a step in the right direction, but most definately aren't there yet. Yes, they pat you on the back for doing something special , but other than that, they do nothing to really enhance your gaming ...
