I've been a fan of the smash bros. series since the original first came out on the n64, so naturally I'd love a code.

Speaking as someone who primarily console games, I have never been more skeptical of a new console generation thanks to rrods, ylods and online passes of this console current/last generation and rumors that the big 2 will require a constant Internet connections and/or prohibit used gaming. As...

Cool thread.

Is this really a problem? It's often the people who strongly identify as a gamer or with the "gaming culture" that is fervently promoted by gaming websites and blogs who are the most distressed by their temporary loss of interest in gaming, as if a part of their core identity has been stripped...

Bayonetta happens to be Kamiya's "ideal woman" and the game appeals to men with its various camera angles. Very convenient. http://www.destructoid.com/bayonetta-is-hideki-kamiya-s-ideal-woman--148356.phtml Below is a parody:

The 3D character models and lighting look amazing for 3DS. Although, I'm hoping there's more to this than a visual upgrade.

It's not her feminine and posh style that I take issue with, but rather that everything else about her was designed completely with the male gaze in mind, to a degree that even exceeded a character like Lara Croft. If the game's team allowed for us to witness her own first-person gaze towards a...

Given gamers' tolerance for rrod, ylod, dlc, online passes, xboxlive, drm, online singleplayer and other anti-consumer measures, do we honestly think that this will be the straw that breaks the camel's back? Sony would be daft not to take advantage of our addictions.

Congrats. My ps2 has been my most active console, yet it works just as well after more than a decade, if I don't count temporarily unresponsive controllers, corrupt memory cards and semi-scratched disks. Great system from the greatest generation of gaming.

I don't understand why it's okay to whine about graphical or writing issues, but not something as serious as the dehumanization of women in media. If I simply insist on not purchasing a game, the game company won't magically know that I'm doing it because it's sexist, thus awareness campaigns...

I don't care to give any particular blogs clicks, but I remember many of them reviewing the ps3 version of Skyrim favorably without addressing its gamebreaking framerate and save issues. Luckily, only entitled gamers care about that stuff. Not the best article, but it's obviously a game that...

I prefer message boards like this one or neogaf for their dissection of the gaming coverage on blogs. Joystiq reads to me like a listing of fairly inoffensive announcements and advertisements, whereas kotaku and destructoid are more opinionated and open about their distaste for "entitled"...

I recently thought of another grievance: lack of splitsceen multiplayer or co-op. Until virtual reality is "perfected", I feel that nothing remotely compares to the ability to be in the same physical room as your friends, playing the same copy of multiplayer game. My only explanations for...

Thank you for another month of splendid giveaways, GBAstar. Happy holidays to Op and everyone joining in.

Happy holidays to you and thanks.
