Mass Effect 2 cinematic trailer teases 'full-length' version for Dec. 22 XBL debut

Dec 13th 2009 2:13AM (Joystiq)
If SC2 comes out this year, It'll probably be poised to take on all comers.

Master Arica Harbor with these Bad Company 2 beta tips

Recon is a great package for defense or offense. With a little skill c4 charges are solid gold, you can defend with them, blow up tanks very easily with them, even suicide rush the crate on attack and blow up your stuff when you respawn.

Pistols are quite effective except for the ammo capacity but one on one it's not hard for a pistol to take out just about anything else.

Then you have the flexibility of a sniper rifle on your package so you can deal with enemy snipers or just general long range kills.

Oh and then there's the motion sensor you get.... I mean come on!

I find the best place to snipe as a defender is from somewhere where you can see your enemy's back and cover the crates at the same time.

I'm going to guess he's somewhere in Vancouver working for an FX studio there. Lots of television filming up around there.

EA Sports' fall soundtrack in full, from Alexisonfire to Zap Mama

Have to say the Madden soundtrack isn't doing much for me and the NHL soundtrack is more or less abysmal. I mean uhhh, Nickelback, Drangonforce, Papa Roach, Green Day, and Megadeath? really? All the guns, and the gold, and the girls in these games couldn't get me off.

The more and more (more and more, more and more, more and more, is it ever gonna be enough?) I check things out the Fifa tracklist comes out ahead, looks like they were gambling to win on that one.

To all the others uhhh. Better luck next time?

ESRB rating explains Dragon Age: Origins' sexual exploits

You can ask the question "what's the point in putting a sex scene in this game?"
or you can ask the question "what's the point in not putting a sex scene in this game?"

Knee-jerk reaction that it's not necessary is a bad argument. There are a lot of things in books and movies and art that aren't necessary, You could probably do everything with androgynous sock-puppets but I think it's obvious to everyone here that something would be lost in the translation of Lolita to sock-puppets.

At the same time we exist in a society where these producers in hollywood and all the video-game devs and pubs are trying to sell a product so they're definitely not above utilizing the titillation factor to drive ticket/game/product sales.

So what do you do? I think the last thing to do is engage in some form of moral outcry over sexual content and situations. Despite what Kattleox might think sex is at least as natural as eating and breathing, without sex neither he nor I would be here nor would there be anyone else to read what I am saying. I think that rather than that people ought to foster consciousness regarding their consumption habits. They ought to ask the question why am I buying this? If the answer is 'because it has hawt sex' well... there you go.

Furthermore in the creation of what is supposed to be a grim and bloody world the existence and use of a whorehouse, a brothel, a prostitute, seems perfectly natural. It would in fact, in my opinion, be unnatural in such a world to not have that very venue. I mean, the origin story for the city elf contains at the very least a reference to rape and yet you intend to argue that it is out of line for there to be a brothel? It's a world of grotesque murder and brutal racism and dark imaginings but you would like the devs to just not include the bits that make you squeamish?

Stranglehold film adaptation won't be ready for years

I'm sorry, Hard Boiled sequel without Chow Yun Fat or John Woo? Why would you ever try to make a film like that?

Man charged with beating son over poor video game performance

Beating your kids doesn't teach them anything other than to be afraid of the people they're supposed to be able to trust. They are going to grow up worse off for the violence you inflicted on them.

To all the people who are proponents of spanking; I hope your kid becomes a serial killer.
Just remember, lighting fires, killing small animals, and wetting the bed are all signs that you're a great parent.

Crytek registers 3 new trademarks, none start with 'Cry'

Apr 8th 2009 5:20PM (Joystiq)
Indeed, carvatar doesn't sound that interesting but Gface... what could that be? what could the G stand for? graphics? g-force? some sort of face physics simulation for realistic speaking animations? that would be pretty damn cool.

actually g-force g-face.... That sounds pretty conclusive to me, so i'm willing to put all my chips on physics and faces combining somehow.

Crytek says Cry Engine 3 ready for next-gen, working very closely with Microsoft and Sony

Apr 7th 2009 8:53PM (Joystiq)
So completely wrong, all they've demoed is cryengine 3 running on current gen hardware, it's a graphical advancement over Cryengine 2 to an extent that is yet to be determined. We just plain don't know how good CE3 can look
