With every generation of games it seems that game companies throw around a bunch of important-sounding but ultimately meaningless words meant to coerce unsuspecting consumers into buying whatever they happen to be peddling at the time.

Joe Garcia — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 02:24:52 +0000

Just like that, we’re all out of E3 conferences. Sony and Nintendo both had impressive showings that really put Microsoft to shame, but it shouldn’t be too difficult to figure out which conference we’ll be putting our focus on. I expected to have quite a few more misses, if only because I was nervous about [...]

Sequels that saved franchises

Joe Garcia — Mon, 24 May 2010 14:22:54 +0000

It’s no secret that Kane & Lynch: Dead Men was a pretty crap game. There are a few people that actually enjoyed it, but I’ll just go ahead and classify those people as weird. Somehow, the game sold over a million copies, causing Square Enix to green-light a sequel that no one wanted. Through some [...]
