Isn't funny that after CDProjekt licensed the Aurora engine from Bioware and made a dark fantasy story (the Witcher) where racism against non-humans (Elves and Dwarves) exists that Bioware claim to be original, 2 years later, in this.

Move along, folks. Nothing to see here.

Freerealms sounds like a great way to get all the world's child stalkers in one easy to find place. I wonder what the age check will be like?

"Don't hate the game...hate the playah!"

Or something like that.

Oooh. They manipulated the media to sell more copies of their game. How DARE they use tricks that have been used for books and film for oh so many years now!

User generated content is a powerful idea.

However...

It takes more than one kid in his basement re-texturing skins for Oblivion to make Publishers fear an overturn.

User generated content will be seen as something that enhances a product already on the market - not as a competitor.

You need a team of people to create and compete - like the Counterstrike or the Team Fortress guys.

The caveat of course is that I am happy to be proven wrong.

Ah, yes. Game journalism at it's finest. I remember reading a review in Playstation magazine and saw that they gave it a Bronze Star (which I thought was good) and I skipped ahead to the end of the review to see what they were REALLY saying.

"Short, tedious, boring. Nice graphics. 8/10"

How the hell do you give a game that has NO GAME 8/10?!??! It may as well be a screensaver if it has no gameplay.
