I figure that I would comment on this article without reading it http://blog.ugo.com/images/smileys/wink.gif Just don’t leave any bad reviews on my book on Amazon!
Anyways, with the gaming audience aging I would think that the M and AO ratings on games would increase as well.... But you make a very good point with the flood of Spongebob and Hannah Montana games hitting the market diluting the overall market.

I agree that there are more crappy games coming out but I feel that is true for all ratings but you’re right probably that more crappy E rated games are coming out. Also it seems that many games that would have gotten an M rating due to violence and blood are now getting teen ratings. I am looking forward to “good” mature games that are mature not because of the many ways of death included but due to actual mature themes and situations.

"Here is my issue though, yes M-rated games have dropped from 8% of the market to 6%, but the question is “why”. It doesn’t feel like there are less M games for my dollar.”
I think that a lot of it is perception. I don’t even look at ratings. My game purchases are selected by what I think I will enjoyable. And when I actually buy a game in a store (as opposed to simply ordering it online), I always know what I want, so I don’t browse. All rising flow of casual “E” game simply isn’t noticed.

Mass Effect DLC Coming March 10th (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/mass_effect_dlc_coming_march_10th/)

At first I was a bit wary about this DLC, since I was afraid that it would be another lame “Clean out four of the same bases” type of side mission, with Batarians serving as skin changes for Cerberus/Geth. But if it turns out that this is a full-fledged mission on the level of Feros and Noveria, with dialogue segments and a penultimate boss battle, then I will be happy.

In the past, to me at least, Bioware has been the kings of downloadable content. For Neverwinter Nights, they pretty much defined the term with their 10+ hour quest modules, with the later modules going as far as adding notable features and new settings to the game. For Knights of the Old Republic, they later added the Yavin station (Merchant) and corresponding quests to the game, though not containing the level of content as the NWN modules, was still pretty good for a free download. I’d even go as far to say that I wish the current DLC marketplace was more like Bioware’s past offerings; paying for semi-expansion pack-level add-ons to the original game, not shelling out cash for a few stinkin’ maps or a few weapons and quirks. Here’s to hoping that EA’s influence doesn’t sully Bioware’s good name in the DLC field.

[Edge]

Commented on Mass Effect DLC: http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/mass_effect_dlc_coming_march_10th/

While I generally don’t have much interest in fee-based DLC, I think this is one game where it can be integrated quite seemlessly and expand the universe (literally) without seeming out of place. It makes sense to simply have a few more locations to go to in a game where given the freedom to simply pick and choose where to go whenever you want from your ship. Oh and for those wondering, I’m pretty sure that this will be selectable like any other planet from your ship’s navigational map, so if you’ve already beaten the game you’ll have to get back to the point of being able to select your destination to access it.

This should allow them to have the freedom to come up with new ideas for places and situations in the game that they otherwise might not be able to explore between the release of the first game and the sequel. The price is reasonable as well, although I do hope that after a few more addons that they’ll release an expansion disc or “gold edition” Mass Effect in stores.

It’s a shame they couldn’t offer this kind of thing for KOTOR2 so that they could re-impliment the features and locations they had cut from the game due to time constraints (although technically Bioware didn’t make KOTOR2).

Unfinished games get pushed out the door with the devs kicking and screaming all the time. It’s good that South Peak is giving these guys a chance to make it right. The patch for the 360 did improve on almost everything from the original release. I wouldn’t say I’d like to see this become a trend like patching has become on the PC, but if it makes the games better in the end, then I am all for it."

Did it have to a be a Wombat post, or any post will do? I'm all about the Mass Effect lately, so:

I’m still on my first Mass Effect playthrough and the idea of new missions (on the level of Feros and Noveria) sounds fantastic. I’ll probably wait for reviews to see how much content is in the DLC, though. If it’s underwhelming, I might hold out to see if they release a discounted DLC bundle further along the line.


I also heard that the Mass Effect DLC is supposed to bridge the first and second games in the series. Any word on whether this is the start of that?

Comment on: Fox News Blames Videogames Again, Just Ignore ItI can't believe that these dumbasses are trying another ploy to turn people against video games. These jerk offs need to get a life and a new story other than these anti video game ploys.

Fox News Blames Videogames Again, Just Ignore It

"Wow...Fox News never has a bit of truth in it. But its stuff like this that really make me wonder what we can even do to save the gaming community from this constant bashing. It is near impossible for anyone in the media to ever give gaming respect."

Wow, it is so sad that so much crap is being pushed out on the Wii. I think Nintendo needs to reinstate the seal of quality. But I’m sure they are making boat loads of money from the licensing fees from all these bad games.

Good job to Nintendo for that huge milestone. I’m really looking forward to this game, so it’s clearly annoying me that they keep pushing back the release date. My brother and I have our reserve, so we’re good to go. Just hope they don’t push it back any farther. That’s ALOT of cash for Nintendo.

Maybe… just maybe… this will be the game to beat Halo 3’s sell records. It’s a long shot but if there’s a possibility that any game will do it, this game is it. (save GTA4)

Haven’t played Rez yet have always wanted to try it. Then puke from motion sickness, stop spinning, then pick up the controller and do it again.

Microsoft Bigwig, Alittle Loose With the Language


I’m going to chalk this up to Mattrick being the one of the high level executive that doesn’t know the nitty-gritty details of all his products. Its pretty typical in the business world actually. The high level guys focus on 3 year plans and long term strategy while the lower level employees and middle managers worry about the details. Major Nelson cleared up the mis-information though with a post saying only the “Episodic DLC set for Fall 08” was 360 exclusive.

Who is he confusing? You’re going to tell me that the 113.7 people who tuned into Major Nelson to listen to Mattrick speak were actually thinking about buying the PS3 version…
