The Latest

Hey guys, hope all is well. This week I got some cool interesting stuff for everyone's viewing pleasure.
           

One thing I don't hate...VGH
First up is the good. Here at VGH we <3 Left 4 Dead, so I'm always happy to see this weeks latest comic strip available for free. This week features a little insight into Francis' background. I don't want to unveil spoilers but this series is really great and its nice to see Valve giving it away for free.

Hey, you better not be yelling too loud or you'll upset it.
The bad, being the Kinect. I love my Xbox but the more and more that comes out about Kinect, I begin to have my doubts. Courtesy of Kotaku is this video shows some of the setup required. You need plenty of space, ample lighting, minimal background music, the list goes on and on. I personally have my Xbox in my room and there is no where near enough room for this, and I know I'm not alone. I knew the room requirement would be there but lighting and background noise? That's a little much.

Finally is the ugly. For this section is quite ugly indeed but gosh...I find this so hilarious. So now EA and Activision are the popular teenage girls of the gaming industry. Each had some, well, very nasty things to say about each other. Kotick saying that essentially 'No talented designers want to work at EA.' Kotick's words. While EA rebuttals with.  'Activision only lives off of 3 different franchises, 1 of which is good and the other 2 are heading down hill.' EA's response. Oh ladies, please behave. Personally, both have there downsides. Activision and EA both extort gamers through DLC's and other ridiculous add-on's. Activions milk's the Guitar Hero franchise every 6 months with new games, and the Call of Duty series isn't know for its good rep either. EA also has continuous Sports franchises every year, while using Bioware games (Dragon Age and Mass Effect) to make various sub-par DLC's.
I'm disappointed, this was only number 6 in top images of Bobby

  1. Evan, you should make this a daily thing! This is so good.

     
  2. I feel like Activision is such a little bitch regarding the industries developers. I mean most of the time, you will hear their name when theres like a law suit or some kind of fail game.

  10. Plent of space, ample lighting? Sounds just like the move when it first was being introduced. Who knows, maybe kinect will actually stomp the move? It's too soon to tell, but all I know is that when it releases it better have good titles out.

  12. Guitar Hero just needs to freakin chill out, its like what other good things Guitar hero has done. I mean before it was awesome but I mean since Rockband came, it was never the same anymore. Get real.
