Hear me out before you start lecturing on the risks of smoking or why I should shut the fuck up – Why must it be such a bad thing that big... more.

I’m not going to pretend that there’s someone out there who DOESN’T know what Infinity Ward’s latest game is. Because there aren’t any people not aware of this, at least not on this site. It has already broken every sales record out there and successfully cured cancer like five time – but I digress… Modern Warfare 2 is a first person shooter set in the actions that followed those in... more.

Every once in a while, a game comes along that just makes you wonder whether some people should rethink their career choice. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a game developer (even though I’d like to be) so I’m not really sure about the development cycle or the different pipelines of different companies but there are some games that just leave you scratching your head… Games like HAZE (ev... more.

Anybody who hangs out on GameTrailers or visits Metacritic.com every once in a while knows this – some websites give out perfect scores in reviews more frequently than Gordon Ramsey makes people cry on national television.

Launching people onto the stage with nothing but a clunky piece of plastic – Guitar Hero would come to be known as one of the w... more.

For years now, Infinity Ward have been making games that have, to some degree, blown us all away. And now, when releasing their undoubtedly biggest title to date, Modern Warfare 2 is set to blow us all away yet again. This is all brilliant stuff and Infinity Ward needs all the cred and kudos that they deserve – but haven’t they been acting like real cunts lately? Pardon my French but I have be... more.

Alright people, I am not officially pissed the fuck off. Why? Well I’ll tell you why. For the people who don’t know this already, Activision has just filed a patent for an entire new game that will REVOLUTIONISE gaming and make everybody jump up and down with glee and anticipation for this new game, maybe even starting a new religion – hailing this game as the one game that will effectively ... more.

This is in no particular order, just things that would be good. Creating a “Next Gen” Interactive Communication System It’s pretty funny that a game like Colossal Cave, having been released more than THIRTY years ago would feature something as peculiar as a fully functional text-based adventure game, only to let the concept fade away as good graphics slowly took the upper hand within devel... more.

For years now, as the gaming community has grown larger and larger, seeing the profits bigger than Hollywood, there has been more signs of desperation from the art community – claiming that games aren't art, but merely a shallow medium for entertainment.
