Capcom has publicly stated that while Resident evil 6 has sold over 5 million units, the core changes did not appeal to players. I would say quite the opposite; if you bought RE6 it was due to the words “Resident Evil” being in the title and your trust and hope that it would deliver. I can imagine that if Resident Evil was a person she would find herself now in her bedroom bawling her eyes out wondering why nobody... 

I will  preface this by saying that there are many good, well-meaning guys (and gals) in the fighting game community but there is one overbearing attitude that I wish would change… when we look at fighting game fans online they seem to be the worst fans of anything based on the way they treat their pros. If you are unfamiliar with this scene I will say that if you are a pro with massive accolades the kids who look up to... 

Is Diablo 3 a bad game? No not at all, but in my honest opinion it isn’t what we the fans of the former 2 installments waited so long to experience. Timing is everything in game releases these days with the market being heavily saturated and award winning titles being produced literally one month after the next. So to say that gamer patience is practically non-existent, is a huge understatement, you snooze and you lose. Luckily... 

Recently I ran into a friend that was considering buying a new game but needed some convincing. He wanted a game that would last the mile along with providing some quality entertainment whenever he turned it on. This made me think of all the games I regret buying and why it was that I was of this opinion. Worthwhile games are based on a few factors: Replayability, gaming experience and length of gameplay. When I think of all these... 

As a rule the internet seems to universally hate hipsters. Yet that same internet complains about things that cater to the mainstream, reminisces on things in the past that only a few would know about and gives praise to things titled “indy” or “underappreciated”. This internet that I am alluding to is the same world that has dominated the vocal areas of our gaming family. Go to any opinion piece on a game... 

I wanted no part of this Origin bull and many of you who read my editorials know how strongly I felt against the creation of the platform. I took issue with Origin not for some fools loyalty towards Valve’s Steam but because of the reasoning behind Origin’s creation. Steam was built to streamline the process of grabbing games virtually versus physically and most PC gamers happily accepted the platform as the solution. EA Origin... 

The Marvel vs Capcom series (after the original) doesn’t seem as if it belongs in the same genre as a Street Fighter game or even a Mortal Kombat one. Speaking from a strictly aesthetic perspective here, the reason I say this is because to the audience member that isn’t a player of the series it looks no different than a shooter. Think about it, you walk up to the cabinet in an arcade and you look over the crowd’s shoulder... 

Dragon Age Origins fever continues on the internet as we round the corner to the demo game and the eventual release in March. As with all things wonderful, many people are going to want in on the hype and gamers who think that they “own” the franchise will have a negative reaction to more exposure. The latest news from USA Today is that the famous creator of The Guild – Felicia Day will be making and starring in an online... 

With the upcoming Star Wars based game The Old Republic from Bioware there is a chance that many newcomers to the MMORPG experience will make it their first. One thing about MMORPG’s that is constant is the varying opinions on them. Some people will lament their time playing an Everquest or a World of Warcraft while others will tell you they are the best thing ever. You will hear tales of guys who had their wives leave them due... 

Gamers, when did we become so lazy? When did it become too much work to read dialogue so everything has to be speech (referencing gripes people have with Dragon Age Origins). When did it become okay for Role Playing Games to be so linear, that you can imagine a developer holding your hand and walking you to the boss? When did it become necessary to give us a parry button as opposed to making it a direction combined with a punch...
