Electronic Arts ‘investing quite a bit’ in always-on DRM

Many PC gamers despise always-on DRM. It’s something to suffer for thebenefits of PC gaming, but it’s still something most folks would rather do without. Stands to reason that Electronic Arts is all in favor of it, but it’s okay because EA’s putting a lot of time and energy into dominating the way you enjoySimCity! “I think that’s why we have to be really, really good about the service that we provide....

Evening Standard stops blaming London riots on GTA

Yesterday,The Evening Standardmadea pretty tasteless accusation, claiming that the hooded little bastards currently rioting throughout London had been “inspired” byGrand Theft Auto. It seems that someone at the paper realized that the story was baseless, as it’s been removed. Rather than issue a formal retraction, the paper simply reprinted that day’s copies with theGTAreferences removed. The original story stated: “Children as young as ten, inspired by video game, among the looters....

gamescom: Alone and Forsaken in The Last of Us trailer

Watch this latest trailer forThe Last of Usand tell me that it doesn’t produce a little stirring somewhere in your loins. It’s pretty hard to avoid getting riled up by a song like “Alone and Forsaken.” Oh, and there’s all that violent survival stuff going on too. For me, what sells this trailer is its final seconds. The last word spoken by Ellie, more a reaction than anything else, is such a beautifully delivered touch that I got a little chill down my spine....

Gears of War 4 is getting a shorter Horde mode variant

Horde Frenzy is ‘only’ 25 waves Tomorrow, The Coalition is coming out with a shorter, more “intense” version ofHorde modeinGears of War 4. Dubbed Horde Frenzy, the new variant is 25 waves long (half the normal length) with bosses appearing every 5 waves. It’s still a time commitment — the developers are clocking Frenzy runs at 60 to 90 minutes — but it’s much more approachable than the standard version, to be sure....

GTA: Vice City pulled digitally from Steam, other outlets

Mamma say mamma saw mamaco saw It looks like due to an issue with the licensing of Michael Jackson’s classic hit “Wanna Be Startin’ Something,”GTA: Vice Cityhas been pulled from pretty much every digital PC outlet out there, including Steam. As anyVice Cityfan knows, “Billie Jean,” another Michael classic, is also in the game, so this is a pretty odd situation that seemingly just involves this one song. Some quick matlockery shows that the song isn’tcompletelyoff limits, as Glee used it in an episode just this year....

Happy MAR10 Day, Nintendo fans!

A celebration of our favorite plumber There’s nothing I love more than a cleverly-conceived holiday, like the pun-centric Star Wars celebration of May 4th, or The Last of Us’ Outbreak Day, which coincides with the in-game date that the cordyceps outbreak started (which also happens to be Joel’s birthday). March 10 is yet another one of those holidays that makes me giddy because of how serendipitous it is. Yes, Mar. 10 does indeed look like it says Mario, and we are right to make festivities surrounding that....

Hellish creations abound in trailer for Death Goat

Metal mayhem It’s not often that I get to post excitedly about an Xbox Live Indie Game, but this trailer forDeath Goathas my blood boiling. It’s a top-down shoot-em-up with all manner of horrible monsters from the bowels of Hell, backed by heavy metal music. I’m still cautious in my optimism. So often, these games can have amazing art like this and wind up falling severely short when it comes to control and accuracy....
