Why MAG is better than COD… if you’re rubbish at shooters
What I find surprising is how every reviewer of MAG is apparently unaware that PlanetSide ever existed. There's never any comparison, even though all the strengths and weaknesses mentioned apply (predictably) to both games. Doubly odd there's no comparison, considering they're from the same publisher. And the whole 256 players thing might have been impressive were it not for PlanetSide supporting 400 ...five years ago.

The warriors of Tekken 6
Man, I used to love Tekken back in the day, but it's just *old* now. The mechanics just don't grab me, and the character designs are just boring compared to SC4 or SF4 (except for the silly ones, which are just silly).

3 years, 3 months ago Parley with pirates
I wish him luck, but they'll probably reward him by pirating even more, because anyone that would pirate an inexpensive indie game is a douchebag to their core and unlikely to change.

I think the only real way to sell more copies is to appeal to a larger number of people who are either honest or don't know how to pirate. The things he's doing should help accomplish that, but probably won't reduce the rate of piracy.

Anyhoo, I wish him luck, and hope I'm embarrassingly wrong in my cynicism :)
