In Defense of Gameloft [Opinion]


Gameloft is a game company that mostly makes mobile games (not counting the odd port to a handheld, like say Dungeon Hunters for PSVita)-- and actually really solid ones.  Unfortunatly they seem to be the recipiants of a lot of ire from the gaming comunity for what they do-- which is basically make knock-offs of known franchises for iOS and Android.  Is this really so bad though?

The Pull List #6 - The Undiscovered Pull List [Review]

Did you know that, according to Wikipedia, The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland is considered the sixth installment in The Muppets film franchise? Something about that seems wrong to me.

What does that have to do with this week's Pull List? Absolutely nothing.

The Top Five Worst Mario Games Not On Nintendo Systems


So today I was minding my own business reading This Week in Business on Kotaku when I saw a particular quote that really rustled my jimmies.
"Nintendo has to let Mario games on non-Nintendo devices."—Nanako Imazu, Tokyo stock analyst, talking about what Nintendo has to do to reverse its massive loss for last year.

Now anybody who's know anything about Nintendo's practices knows this guy is a total idiot.  Not only has Nintendo said that the day Nintendo games show up on other devices is the day Nintendo ceases to be Nintendo, there are a few Mario games that aren't on a Nintendo system and boy are they terrible.

Bioware Reported to the FTC by Neckbearded Whiners

So apparently the ending to Mass Effect 3 isn't so hot.  I haven't finished it yet, having just recently completed 2 and I'm now currently awaiting its arrival from Gamefly (expect a review!).  Still though it can't be as bad as some Bioware "fans" think it is, who have gone as far as to report Bioware to both the Federal Trade Commission and the Better Business Bureau, just because of the bad taste the game's ending has left in their collective mouths.  Apparently this ridiculous idea was spurred by Bioware forum user El Spiko who claims Bioware/EA lied to him and did not deliver the experience they had promised, making it in his deranged mind, "false advertising". Here's a quote from Mr. Spiko:
This is not somethign I was happy to do, but after the terrible ending that was in no way the product that had been advertised to me and the lack of any kind of response from Bioware/EA to address this, I felt it was one of my only recourses. I’ll be returning my copy of the game before the end of my 30 day return policy if the ending still hasn’t been addressed by then.

Let me translate that for you, what El Spiko is doing is basically this.  It doesn't end there though.
