Modern Warfare 2 (Xbox 360): Official: Last two Call of Duty games bigger than Finding Nemo, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, the Ukraine
@Bamford38: "The only solace i can take from this is that im proud to be in the 70 thousand people that value originality, rather that the millions of people that are basically sheep." So you bought Shadows of the Damned because of its originality. Technically it's an original property, but when I look at it I see just a bunch of clichés mashed together with a typical Japanese action game style I know I don't like. I'm quite sure I would not enjoy it. I don't fear originality (I was one of the first to buy Mirror's Edge, etc.) but I just don't see anything in SOTD to entice me to try it. I've bought some of the recent Call of Duty games because they were incredibly polished, fun games with tight gameplay mechanics. Does that make me a sheep? Maybe, but then sheep often flock together because they know where to find good grass and safety, while the lone, lost sheep gets trapped somewhere in barbed wire. (Trust me, my family used to rear sheep and they look a lot more stupid when they run off doing their own thing than when they flock together. But maybe I'm stretching the analogy... :D )

Mass Effect 3 (PC): Blonde female Commander Shepard wins BioWare's box art competition
All the default Shepards (male and female) look too young and inexperienced. The core of Shepard's character is his/her natural leadership forged through great struggles, and I just don't see that coming from a good-looking 28-year-old. That's why my Shep looks like he's about 40, with a proper military haircut and a face that says "I've seen shit you wouldn't believe, so back off!"

5 reasons why Mark Wahlberg will make an awesome Nathan Drake
Wahlberg takes himself way too seriously, and lacks the competence to pull it off. He has all the charisma of a stale loaf of bread. There's an extremely high chance that he'll turn one of the most likeable heroes of gaming into an utter cock in the cinema.

The Top 7... Bloodiest fighting games
I remember playing Time Slaughter. I had a feeling it would make the top spot on this list. That game is absolutely bonkers.

6 days, 9 hours ago Mass Effect goes iOS in new Infiltrator screens
Wouldn't it make more sense to make a mobile game based on the exploration and conversation mechanics of Mass Effect, rather than the shooter mechanics that won't translate well to touch screens?

I think Money is referring to the change from Duke Nukem 2 (quirky PC side-scroller) to Duke Nukem 3D (multi-platform FPS megastar).

Agreed.

"proved the gaming public isn't ready for digital downloads as the sole form of delivery for their games"

Not sure it proved that at all. Digital download games on smartphones and tablets seem to be incredibly popular.

Instead, I think it suggests the gaming public isn't ready to be swindled by being charged ridiculously high prices for digital downloads and for having their existing collection of UMD games rendered unusable on what should be a compatible console.
