This is probably going to come off as if I'm ripping into you, but I'm bringing up my concerns based on my experience with the console and the games. I get what you're saying, it just looks really bad when they are caught faking it. It breads distrust and lowers my perception that they will be able to deliver a fun,…
I disagree completely and saying that they're wrong isn't going to change anything. It's you against millions of people. Who do you think has more collective time and resources? To call a video game, which is just an arrangement of 1's and 0's a product, means you're committing a misnomer. A video game is no more a product…

If you're an awesome artist, noone will turn you down and you'll pick up the technology know how there. UT2k3 had 2-2.5k poly models. Bad use of normalmaps makes normalmaps…
Before I start on my thoughts about Gears I have to say Im not the biggest FPS guy and can honestly say Ive really only enjoyed about seven or so (Golden Eye, All of the Half lifes, Halos, Call of duties, Doom 3 and Fear with Desert Combat on occasions. Gears of War looks like a third person action game but it controls…
Rock band Rage Against The Machine has won the most competitive battle in years for the Christmas number one. The band's single, Killing In The Name, sold 500,000 downloads beating X Factor winner Joe McElderry's The Climb by 50,000 copies to clinch the top spot. Their success followed a Facebook campaign designed to…
With everyone giving such passionate feedback, I think I want to put in my 2 cents about my experience too as someone who's fairly experienced with playing FPSs I really enjoy the genre and have played all the cod titles on the PC since the original modern warfare.
