| | Flamebait Friday Debate: Does Religion Have A Place In Video Games? | 
Nick de Bruyne - October 14th, 2011 | This week, I read a very interesting article on Gamespot about religion’s place in video games. They mention games like DarkSiders and Dante’s Inferno taking Christian themes and using them in video games and indeed I have seen even more religious themes in games like Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.
What really interested me is that they mentioned games like Catherine, where the player/character ... [»] |

| FFD: Do you support competitive marketing tactics? | 
Gavin Mannion - October 7th, 2011 | It’s Friday again which means it’s time for our regular Flamebait Friday Debate but today’s a little different as the question isn’t itself flamebait but rather whether we, as gamers, support the flamebait being created by developers. For example, next week the biggest driving simulator of the year is being released (Forza 4) and Polyphony Digital, the brains behind GT5, have chosen that week to release ... [»] |

| FFD: Where’s the innovation in Battlefield 3? | 
Gavin Mannion - September 30th, 2011 | The Battlefield 3 beta was finally opened to the filthy masses yesterday which means I finally got my hands on what is one of the most anticipated titles of the year. All I’ve heard all year is how Modern Warfare 3 is just MW2 in a prettier dress while Battlefield 3 is the new king of FPS’s and should be rewarded for all it’s innovation. ... [»] |

| FFD: And The Best Exclusive Franchise Of This Generation Goes To… | 
Nick de Bruyne - September 23rd, 2011 | A lot of debate has sparked up recently with regards to exclusive franchises, which are the best and which aren’t. Whether we like it or not, exclusives will always get themselves into the limelight, even if they are crap.
Now there are some really old franchises still going, some still exclusive, some not but let’s rather take a good look at all of ... [»] |

Darryn Bonthuys - September 16th, 2011 | There may be a lot of great games coming out near the end of the year, but there also quite a few remakes peppering the release schedule as well. Capcom has a HD re-release of the original Devil May Cry trilogy coming out soon, while Konami once again wants players to shout out SSSNNNNAAAAKKKKEEE at the top of their lungs ... [»] |

| Flamebait Friday Debate: Annual Glorified Expansions vs Proper Sequels | 
Nick de Bruyne - August 26th, 2011 | What’s worse/better? Waiting two whole years for a full-blown proper sequel, like we all are for Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3, Gears of War 3, Mass Effect 3 and a bunch of other games that probably end with a “3â€... or… Do you prefer only waiting a year between “sequels†that change very little and only have some additions and a different story, ...

| Flamebait Friday Debate: The Worst / Best Video Game Movie You’ve Ever Seen | 
Nick de Bruyne - August 19th, 2011 | Today the Lazygamer crew decided that we are tired of saying ‘movies based on video games’ so instead, we have decided that we need to coin a new term for them. Now instead of just doing the expected and referring to them as ‘crap movies’, we thought of making up a new words like ‘Vilm’ or something. Any better ideas?
So then, now ... [»] |

| Flamebait Friday Debate: Has The PS Move Come To A Standstill? | 
Nick de Bruyne - August 5th, 2011 | Remember the Playstation Move, that cool sex toy with a luminous squash ball attached to the end of it? Yeah haha, they were released back in 2010, I remember playing on one.
Seriously though, is the Move completely dead? Kevin Butler ads, large marketing campaigns, promises of pure awesome-sauce and more - and now - not too far down the line, it’s almost ... [»] |

| Flamebait Friday Debate: Jealous Of PC? Do We Want The PS4 and Xbox 720? | 
Nick de Bruyne - July 29th, 2011 | You've been defending the console for so long now… I mean, why wouldn't you? You just put the disc in, chill on the couch with a drink and hit some serious game time, that's the way it should be.
Screw PC gaming, manual patching, hardware upgrades but dammit… you can't deny that those Battlefield 3 PC screenshots look so damn good… not to ... [»] |

| Flamebait Friday Debate: East vs West – Which makes the best games? | 
Nick de Bruyne - July 22nd, 2011 | Gaming as we know it was originally born and ruled in the east. Japan were (and still are) rocking the industry like crazy, from the early days where Mario became such a hit, Final Fantasy took on a life of its own, Zelda rocked everyone's world and the East was just dominating.
Times have changed though, and the West is putting up a ... [»] |

| Flamebait Friday Debate: Are We Almost Impossible To Impress Anymore? | 
Nick de Bruyne - July 8th, 2011 | "Meh"
That terrible word that is plaguing the internet, and while it's a problem that extends further than gaming, we are here for gaming after all, so let's take a look at the issues at hand.
We spend hours and hours of our lives complaining about evil, money hungry publishing corporations that love nothing more than to scam us out of our hard earned ... [»] |

Nick de Bruyne - July 1st, 2011 | This year we see two major exclusive franchise powerhouses going head to head with the release of both Gears of War 3 and Uncharted 3, and they are both promising some very engaging multiplayer experiences.
