    World of Warcraft: Legion Announced.

    I feel extraordinarily dirty for knowing exactly where his user picture came from. Also, people still play WoW? I tried playing again (after playing since beta + 5 years then quitting) when the last expansion came out, and I was like "God, this is just awful" ... by today's standards, the...

    Tamaki from Unseen64, "NX not to compete with PS4 on a power level"

    Assuming it's a console - Maybe I'm being unrealistically optimistic, but is it possible the tweet could mean that Nintendo is going to get back in touch with reality and release hardware that won't compete with PS4 because it blows the PS4 out of the water? Who says Nintendo has to be the...

    NDS and N64 to be launched on the Wii U Virtual Console

    So, I first bought all these games for N64 at $60 a pop. Then for my old original Wii. Then I had to rebuy them for my Wii U 'Wii' virtual library thing. Now in order to play them from a diffierent Wii U menu, basically, I have to buy them again ... Why can't the Wii U just look and see that you...

    Gaming Zelda Wii U delayed to 2016

    One thing Nintendo has always had was quality and reliability. They never did shady stuff for the sake of an extra dollar. If they said something was gonna get done, it was going to be done. They've made some stupid mistakes (like Virtual Boy), but those stupid ideas were still made tangible in...

    ET found in New Mexico

    I don't think it's as big of a news story as people think. Yet. Finding a hundred (the latest article I read gave that number) various Atari cartridges really could have been anything. Once they can say they've found over 1,000, then it will get interesting.

    Arkham Origin dev puts DLC above fixing game-breaking bugs

    Developers are really taking advantage of the internet connectivity/hard drives of modern gaming machines. They were never intended to be used as part of the game release process. Only for emergency patches and new content. Remember the days when you bought a video game for your PS2 and it just...

    Elder Scrolls Online Trailer/Release Date

    I played WoW for 5 years, and SWTOR until they went F2P ... 1.) Don't compare anything to WoW. They've been refining that game for a decade and have had a LOT of time to work out the bugs and streamline every aspect. When WoW first came out, it was a disaster. I was there. Looting took over 3...

    Xbox One Matches PS4's 24 Hour Sales

    Everyone knew 2 years ago that both consoles would do great. We knew one would be more popular, but neither would fail. It's not like the BluRay vs. HDDVD war where the slight failure of one would mean the ultimate victory for the other. There's room for both of them in the market. Even the Wii...

    GTA V For PC Appears on Amazon.de

    Absolutely. Every GTA game that's been ported the PC has had it's share of problems. I, personally, only had major problems with GTA IV, but I've read that most people weren't that lucky ... I've read that Rockstar has a 3rd party company port the games instead of doing it in house, which might...

    Watch Dogs - Delayed to Spring 2014

    Disappointment is understandable. They should have given themselves more time. But kudos on making the right call. Releasing high quality, tested, bug-free games is the fast track to Game of the Year. I find the bug-free aspect to be more important than anything. Too many lemons get published...

    Assassin's Creed IV for WII-U will get no DLC

    I agree. My one nitpick is that the type of people who buy DLC and/or games that utilize it, are generally the type of people who would know their space limitations and have their external hard drive ready to go. (500gb+ really should have just been included with the system in this day and age...

    Assassin's Creed IV for WII-U will get no DLC

    Was the falling out between Electronic Arts and Nintendo not (at least partly) based on Nintendo having a stance against being able to utilize microtransactions in-game or something of the sort? I remember reading that as "one side of the story" back in the day. EA got their panties in a bunch...
