What was your difficulty setting on there Nalano? I find almost all CIV stories need a mention of that setting because it almost singlehandedly decides how much you will be cursing the AI.

This in addition to the fact that media has recently raised more issues with whether buying video games that license guns actually feeds the gun industry (and all that gun industry supports...like...

Seems like now is the moment to open an "RPS" store to sell Horace plush toys (with Velcro torso extensions...priced like DLC to achieve "endless"-ness) and ironic t-shirts saying things like "Hey...

I really enjoyed your Play at Heartbreaking: Sacrilege piece and game over at Unwinnable (I have to admit most of your MOBA stuff here bounces off me). Sacrilege was much better than most the...

Love the gopher-cam angles Seph. Really nice looking. I just wish they hadn't made all the chain mail so shiny, it would be much better looking with less reflection.

This is the hardest part of the current FPS scene and cheats. Designers keep building more and more hacks into games lately and when people get magical information about other players through their...

If by player run servers you mean no dedicated hardware boxes without going through a third party...then yes there are none of those. On the other hand, almost all PC servers are rented, set up,...

Peggle and Plants v. Zombies.

Popcap is chicken soup for the gamer.

And who has the selection bias here?

What we keep failing to say is that more people "harmed" by ea are angry people on the internet than the other companies. It isn't simply that the dead can't...

Then maybe they should rename the award

"American company upset people on the internet think would be most likely to respond to complaints about the quality of their products and services"

...

I think it is partially because their sales are dependent on people who actually believe crap like this poll. Bank of America could be called #1 Worst Company Ever by the devil himself and people...

Which is my point in the OP. Gamers seem anxious to identify themselves as the dumb ones on the internet. This result screams "please don't take us seriously" and the Consumerist doesn't seem to get...

So then you agree with Moore that this is a tall trees catch the most wind thing then?

The fact that you equate kicking puppies with a DRM scheme is interesting. Once again I would remind you that...

I would guess that the people you talk to don't vote in Consumerist polls either.

Larger problem with EA or larger problem with people being myopic, failing to read actual journalism, and repeating groupthink truisms around the internet?

I can totally agree with the latter.
...

Of course I just realized by rereading the Comsumerist recommendations for EA, that they failed to even mention the most questionable thing EA did this past year: Linking video game sites to real...

I haven't read much on the methodology, but I have a feeling it is quite biased and poorly done. Granted it is their award handed out by their readership, so that makes sense...but people will...

In case you missed it, the internet voted EA the worst company in America again....

Without the rant it probably doesn't deserve an article, just a blurb and a link saying the DLC is out.

He could rant about a level cap being bad DLC and another playthrough being bad DLC (making...

If you are simply curious where the debate would go:

STALKER series (Probably STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat most)

Fallout 3 and its ilk (there are some passionate people about...

Nice, just went back and looked at them. The game does well with high contrast, but those did confirm to me that the shots on this page are better lit. My guess is that maps like Hillside looks...

Those shots of Chivalry are great Seph. I love that map and think that the contrast on it makes it the most screenshotted (that plus the lighting on it is fantastic). Would be nice to see some pretty...

If you like open world games, Far Cry 3 is a decent one. Not the best you will ever play, but solid and engaging. Good gunplay, but it is not the main draw.

Brink is disappointing. It should be...

Technically they do low default FOV ::shudders:: but it makes sense on TV screens I suppose. Never did fully understand that.


As to "adversarial" games, that is just the nature of a team game....

I am not sure how your math works.

At release with no pre-order deals, BF3 cost $60 BF4 will cost $60 or maybe $70 if you get deluxe. Now if they do premium the same way as they did for BF3, it...
