I enjoy both Forza and Gran Tursimo but Turn 10 makes a better racer while Polyphony makes a better sim. I would absolutely adore having something akin to the Livery Editor and auction house systems of Forza in Gran Turismo and they are even awesome enough, to me, to jump-ship but not until...

For Payday to get yanked that late says to me that there was something really nasty that they (probably SOE) seemingly don't want people to ever know about. The two scenarios which come to mind are shoddy netcode and data corruption as either could destroy the game's reception. Pretty much...

For me it wasn't that Payday was delayed but rather the whole release date shell-game that's still going on surrounding it. We all know that shit happens and games get delayed but to have a solid date for your game along with a pre-order incentive program surrounding it only to fall off the...

I wonder what week after week of Payday not releasing is doing to their digital preorders program.

I think that a lot of it comes down to just not knowing how it's all going to work/integrate. All of the cars, gear, and paint are gifted using the existing system but how locked-down are those cars in terms of trading/gifting and what about the typical single-use paint chips and their...

Yeah I'm really leaning towards just the track pack or maybe even waiting until we know what the DLC strategy is going forward. (at least so far as frequency and themes) But that Kart track looks great and if I'm going to splurge for Spa and the Kart track then I'm going to want some more karts...

Man that Kart track:

Spec II update is live. (1.2GBs)

Borderlands is most akin to an MMO in terms of how it handles your level in relation to your current quest and the enemies that you're facing. If the quest is tough/impossible, the enemies are more than say 2-3 levels above you, and/or you are seeing skulls then you need to come back later or...

I'm just tired of these jackasses complaining about the used market and claiming that they are losing money when they won't even attempt to play hardball. They could cut-out used retailers, go purely digital, develop some sort of in-house trade-in which would at least keep the dollars within...

What do you think about my first point? (just speaking to physical copies of course) If publishers and distributors were actually willing to stand by their convictions and their misplaced disdain for the used market then they'd stop selling games to each and every place which participated in...

The inclusion of the new Spec on the discs makes even more sense considering how this content announcement was coupled with a price drop for GT5. (as in clear out the current stock and then bring in the new batch...hopefully at that same $40) But you are in luck in that you won't have to do a...

This is not unique to Sony but I find it interesting as a consumerist that developers, publishers, and/or distributors are more than willing to stick it to the consumers but yet they are completely unwilling to even float the mere thought of cutting out used games sellers by...oh I dunno...not...

I just wanted to reiterate how fuck-awesome Crysis is: It is still a ~2007 release and yeah there are wonky bits coupled with missing multiplayer but when it clicks you become a Nano Ninja. The $20 price-tag is admittedly about $5 too high but the gunplay is chunky and satisfying, the suit...

All subject to pricing and general impact but the paid DLC strategy is equally awesome, awful, and intriguing: So those people who have no problem buying avatar/Home clothes will snag the "racing gear pack" while the rest of us go for the red meat?
