Okay this is why I both love and despise the sex offender’s register. Love it because it lets me know if there is a rapist in my area, and despise it because it’s starting to get to where I am questioning its legality. In an effort …
I definitely saw this coming. Infinity Ward fought tooth and nail to keep Modern Warfare 3 free of exploits and to allow for fair play, even going so far as to ask hackers how they do their thing, apparently. However, hackers have gotten a hold of their mods.
Remember my previous article on how Zynga rips off people’s games shamelessly? Well another company that does the same thing picked a fight with the wrong people. Spry Fox, upon hearing that Yeti Town was basically a clone of Triple Town, took action against 6waves.
Zynga gets a lot of flack for their tactics, and a more common one is them making a complete knockoff of someone else’s game within months of its release. A few days back, the makers of Tiny Tower accused Zynga of ripping off their game, making …

Update: According to Chris, they’ve been less-buried, but apparently “Indie” is still a genre where all games are the same. Indie developers, who are responsible for great games like Terraria, VVVVVV, Minecraft, Spelunkey, La Mulana, Koumajou Densetsu, and who also get a lot of love from …
Moderators and admins, whether for forums or online game, often have a reputation for being immature tyrants with thought processes similar to the common roach, and stories like this reinforce that stereotype. Even though Battlefield is an M-rated game with mountains of violence and profanity, EA’s …
EA announced a while ago those who picked up Battlefield 3 for the PS3 would get a free copy of Battlefield 1943. They were nothing but lying bastards. Not only was it pulled at the last minute, even after some had already picked the game up …
