Op Ed

GamesIndustry.biz - Fit To Print
"The problem is already apparent from the short lists above. Almost every single major videogames media outlet already belongs to a company which also owns either a game publisher, a game developer or a range of intellectual property commonly used in videogames. IGN, for instance, is part of a corporation which also holds the rights to franchises ranging from Alien and Predator to The Simpsons - not to mention videogame movies such as Max Payne."

Crispy Gamer - The Word: Some Thoughts on EGM
"While these challenges seem impossible to overcome, print magazines can and will survive. Better management, a more refined focus on content that cannot be found on the internet, interesting personalities and credibility are all important keys to future success."

GameZone - The Rise and Fall of MMOs in 2008
"What leads to that conclusion? Well, three new triple-A games were released in 2008 (not thinking about the expansions to existing franchises – which did fare well), and all three were greeted with open arms and now have serious fallout in terms of declining subscription numbers … check that – two have serious declining numbers; the third, Tabula Rasa, is already slated to close in February of 2009. (Hellgate: London, which opened in October of 2007 – and featured both solo and multiplayer elements – has announced it will close its online servers at the end of January.)"

AtomicGamer - Where Prince of Persia Faltered
"But does this game deserve all the hate? I don't think so, and I'm going to dive into what I feel are the successes and failures of Ubisoft Montreal's latest action game."
