I would have asked Bill for a pile of dough so I could realize my dream of banging supermodels on my yacht in the south of France.

The conceit of many video games these days is that you can get away with bad writing and preposterous narrative choices simply because it’s a game.

If you haven't bought Trine 2 by now, you should pick it up. Utterly gorgeous game, visually and aurally. The gameplay is actually pretty good too.

Yet it is not at all clear whether, over longer periods, such a habit increases the likelihood that a person will commit a violent crime, like murder, rape, or assault, much less a Newtown-like massacre. (Such calculated rampages are too rare to study in any rigorous way, researchers agree.)

Yes, it is clear! Because it's always been a violent world and always will be. Take away guns and games and you know what'll change? Not a single damn thing.

In one recent study, Christopher Barlett, a psychologist at Iowa State University, led a research team that had 47 undergraduates play “Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance” for 15 minutes. Afterward, the team took various measures of arousal, both physical and psychological. It also tested whether the students would behave more aggressively, by having them dole out hot sauce to a fellow student who, they were told, did not like spicy food but had to swallow the sauce.

Sure enough, compared with a group who had played a nonviolent video game, those who had been engaged in “Mortal Kombat” were more aggressive across the board. They gave their fellow students significantly bigger portions of the hot sauce.

Seriously, what kind of person assumes that two companies worked on it, canceled it, later had the license lapse, another two companies picked up the license, started it, and used any of the prior assets or code despite using a new engine?

It was supposed to be a PS2 game, and that game was canceled with all work destroyed half a decade before Sega or Gearbox got involved.


This is why some think you troll - you seem to try to get every fact wrong.

PS1 PS2 same fucking thing, were you there when they destroyed the work? Do you work for Sega? Why are you so defensive anytime someone even says the slightest even remotely negative thing about a publisher or developer? FFS Beamer you're like a walking shill for every publisher in the industry.

I've actually seen PS2 titles that look better than any trailer of this game now that I think of it.

When all is said and done, Randy Pitchford can go eat a bag of dicks for praising this as the second coming of Christ.

Not much different from when Duke Nukem was coming out. I used to respect him but he became just another PR person these days. Don't believe a word he says.

Eh I don't know why some of you take so much pleasure in this, people could lose their jobs and no one likes a crappy game. I'd much rather be proven wrong and have a cool Aliens game to play

Are you supposed to like people that rip other people off? How odd. That's not how it works for most people. Make a shitty product you deserve to be out of a job. No one - except you and netnerd it seems - is going to shed a single tear if that happens.

Wow, what a cunt. And that bitch wonders why she's not qualified to be a counselor. Total spoiled brat.

Lehigh’s lawyers allege that Thode’s behavior in class was not acceptable for someone seeking a master’s degree in counseling. On at least one occasion, they said, she used profanity in class. Another time, she broke down crying.

Never heard of Alpha Prime, but the preview video on Steam is hilarious in how the bad guys just stand there looking straight ahead when you run up to them and shoot them in the side of the head.

This makes no sense. You were going to cancel it, then let the people talk you into not cancelling it, then you cancel it BEFORE you get to the magical final 72 hours??

This has to be just about the worst-run Kickstarter campaign ever.
