The training level is a bit too munchkin for me. I hate it when they tell you how to every single little action. I'd prefere it they left you to figure out somethings for yourself.

oh shit, that'll just give more ammunition to Beth and justifies their shitty design. Fallout 3 is dooomed, but it's sure to please the Beth fanboy's and PC Gamer UK at least.

Will Wright created SimCity off of his own back, granted, he spun off 3 or 4 sequels but it was enough to give him some sway in the industry. That's why EA bought Maxis in the first place, the 'Sim' franchise was a lucrative franchise to own. It's that success that gave Will Wright the sway and...

The Sims was the brain child of Will Wright, pretty much funded by profits he made with Maxis (which technically became EA’s after the take over, but when The Sims was created Maxis still existed as a publishing house, it wasn’t an instantaneous take over and absorption.), again, if any smaller...

Half-Life 2 isn't perhaps the best example to use since EA had no input what-so-ever into the development of HL2, money wise or other. Whatever Half-Life 2 sells will be down to Valve and not EA, Valve could have gone to any publisher to distribute Half-Life 2. In other words EA won't be able to...

Because EA represent everything that's screwed up with the games industry. They represent the very height of the "corporate whore" mentality and pre-packaged BS with little to no creative vision behind it. EA are the death of: The small guy, innovation and taking risks. EA are the birth...

There're too many people out there that'll happily gobble up The Sims + multiple shitty expansions packs, plus FIFA, plus whatever else cloned sports game EA Sports puts out. People who only want to buy good games I'm afraid are far outnumbered by the masses, who'll buy just about anything so...

It depends on the deal Valve has got with EA obviously. It's either to make xxx number of copies and distribute them for xxx number of dollars or EA get a percentage per copy sold. Since it's only a distribution deal and not a publishing deal this'll obviously be a much lower cut. Personally I'd...

EA gobble up popular franchises and milk them to death. Take the FIFA games for example, the same shit year after year with minimal changes, perhaps a few cosmetic upgrades and a couple of new players but beyond that they're exactly the same. If you like the Half-Life franchise avoid buying...

It's still not right, it should be Microsoft's upcoming OS.

System Shock II was excellent, though given that Bioshock is being developed for a cross-platform release I'm starting to get worried that it's on a similar path as Morrowind after Daggerfall. BioShock certainly sounds interesting, but we all know how much print can lie.

I think the whole Booth Babe phenomenon was perhaps the single most poignant aspect of the downfall of E3. E3 completely lost focus, anyone and their grandma could get a pass and it simply became an event where the people could go to play a few games early instead of actually reporting on...

Dissapointing, I didn't see one dislodged eye-ball.

People should stop giving their opinions on games in these so-called Editorials unless someone asks for it, unless they like getting bitch slapped, which happens 99% of the time.

It's more of an FPS with some form of experience/reward system. It's been done well in the past with games like System Shock II and Undying. However it's been 5/6 years since then so I hope it isn't just Undying with fancy graphics. I've just noticed who's developing it: Codemasters. Given...

Yeah, I'm a big fan of TFC, and I like the direction they've taken TF2, hope it plays well too.

Apparantly some dumbass left his admin password blank also.

Yeah, Zidane mounted that Italian alright, but deservedly got sent off for it,

This piece of news has really got my goat today. Some of you may remember the story about British hacker Gary McKinnon who hacked some U.S. Military computers (around 90 allegedly) that were apparently very lax on security. Anyway, John Reid, our oh-so wonderful home secretary has decided to...

Zidane constantly looks like he's doused himself in water, those French blokes sure know how to sweat.
