This movie-goer is sick of pointless 3D a la the Clash of the Titans remake. Avatar, on the other hand, was a fantastic 3D experience.

Games are getting shorter, but not cheaper.

Western RPGs are doing quite well, thank you very much, as Fallout 3, Oblivion, Mass Effect 1 & 2, and Dragon Age can attest.

The tax article is about California, not the USA as a whole.

I think I'll wait to see what the difference is in the released game. Even then I won't replace my 5770s with Nvidia's portable heaters.

Considering Facebook's view of privacy, playing the meeting down is hardly surprising.

Here's how to "fix" PC gaming: make games for the PC first and then port them to consoles. It's much easier to "dumb down" a PC game for the console audience than it will ever be to "smart up" a console game for the PC audience.

Once upon a time, there were companies that did nothing but port PC games to consoles. These companies were very familiar with the needs of console gamers and well-versed in the myriad details involved in porting PC games to a different platform. Those companies seem to have vanished or have been bought up by EA and then disbanded, because EA is run by a clueless fuck.

Or Bungie's new IP could not be bigger than Halo...

The only thing wrong is people keep printing what Pachter says.

When a company doesn't tout a profit that means it lost money. EA can talk about all sorts of things, but they can't talk about being profitable.

Maybe Activision will ask Bungie to do MW3 since most of Infinity Ward has fled the sinking ship.

Pachter is like a tool. Specifically, he is the wrong tool for the wrong job.

Rupert Murdoch getting into games would be the beginning of the end of gaming on any platform.

Ubi's execs just plain don't get it. As a result, they are going to sell fewer copies of their titles on the PC, which will somehow be twisted as a confirmation that the PC is dying as a gaming platform.

"Much anticipated launch of OnLive"? Other than the poor saps that were conned into throwing money at it, who else cares if this ever launches?
