great article on why people play the opposite sex so often in games, when there's the option. PluggedIn: Gamers bend gender for a winning edge By Lisa Baertlein LOS ANGELES, July 28 (Reuters) - When men appear as buxom, scantily clad females in video games like "World of Warcraft," it is more about winning than finding an outlet for a real-world affinity for gender bending. "It has nothing to do with exploration of sexual identity," said Brenda Brathwaite, a game developer who delved into the subject for her book "Sex in Video Games," set for release this fall. While there are gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender-friendly groups that operate within massively multiplaye…

Ok...I've owned the Nintendo DS since it's launch and just recieved the PSP over the weekend and I have to say that the PSP is the coolest handheld device ever created. If I had to decide on the better handheld, I'd have to give the edge to the PSP, because of its versatility. Don't get me wrong, I love Nintendo's DS and it has the most potential between the two, but the lack of quality games that have produced is really hurting it's image in the eyes of gamers. So, what does everyone else think??

Who else plays this game?

Guys, Anyone play Destiny 2 game?? How is your impressions about it?

Still churning these games out.. news of Assassin's Creed IV has popped up today. Looks as though the new protagonist is going to be a pirate, which given how universally praised the 'high seas' combat introducted into ACIII was, comes as no surprise really. Some people feel this series has been beating a dead horse for a while, and/or has strayed way too far from its roots by cramming in a ridiculous amount of side quests, objectives and collectibles. I still find them great fun though, and I thought ACIII did enough to keep the series fresh <_<

Remnant: From the Ashes is an action role-playing third person shooter developed by Gunfire Games. It was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 20, 2019. Remnant is definitely a "Souls like game", but rather than simply being melee combat, it incorporates a third person shooter element where the player can wield up to two gun weapons, one main weapon and one side arm, alongside their melee weapon.

This game is amazing. I had the first one before but I never really enjoyed it. This is so much better. Physics and graphics are awesome!

From Software's next project. As mysterious as the Sekiro trailer. I see glimpses of Norse mythology and Dark Souls

I checked out some E3 stuff over the weekend. Some interesting stuff. I had pretty much felt that gaming industry was stuck in a rut but the new promotional efforts are showing some promise: The bethesda softworks stuff looked well done. Fallout 4's vision of post-nuclear Boston looks the most interesting and derives from Fallout 3. The modern version of Doom- the classic shooter- is retro and is different at the same time; also now relies on speed and close action for survival. Deus Ex has excellent graphics and looks like a significant upgrade from Human revolution. Most certainly these modern games have had a significant leap forward in terms of graphics an…

I've been looking forward to this game for a long time. It's been in development for ages, but it looks like it's only a few more months away now. It's a puzzle/adventure/exploration game led by Jonathan Blow (of Braid) - one of the brightest shining lights in the industry. I love his ideas and his passion to push gaming into new realms of experiences. Always a man who's worth listening to, and I'm really excited to jump into the game. Anyone else?

Anyone else here ever play guitar hero? That has to be the most addicting game that I have ever played. I can definitely bust out the 100 percent on medium and below. I might get a few on hard but I'm struggling past the expert difficulty. There was a time at which I was making my own songs for my modded PS2. Those were the days. But then my PS2 broke and now I'm in withdrawl. Give it up for the only reason to still play the PS2 besides God of War 2 that is.

Warning this is most definitely rated Mature for violence, and there's spoiler if you haven't finished the 2nd by now. The final part of the God of War story is here. For those of you who have played the others or have heard of it ... you'll remember the last one left off with Kratos finding out Zeus was his father and Kratos vowing to destroy Olympus. Here's that final cinematic for those of you who forgot or just want to see it again:

I know there's not much action around this part of the board, but are there any BioShock fans here? I absolutely love the first two, and am getting pretty excited about the third, even though it won't be out until 2012. Anyone interested though, check out this 10 minute gameplay video. This game is going to take epic to a whole new level http://www.gametrailers.com/video/ten-minu...704932?type=flv
