FFD: Is the videogame industry falling apart?

 - February 3rd, 2012
Things aren’t looking especially good for the video game industry. THQ, one of the industry’s major publishers and developers is on the rocks - cutting jobs and devaluing by the second. If they do crumble, they wouldn’t be alone; the depressing list of developers who’ve shuttered their doors this generation is staggering. Industry Giant Sony has reported its fourth consecutive year in the red, and even Nintendo - who spent the beginning of this generation ... [»]

The Lazygamer Awards 2011 – Best Driving Game

 - December 20th, 2011
Racing games, as far as I’m concerned are all the same - basically slightly interactive screen-savers - where steering left or right allows you to see different sections of the track. Or wall, as is usually the case with me. Were it up to me, Mario Kart 7 would take this category without the slightest hint of competition - but we do this thing by ... [»]

Microsoft joins the “can’t sue us” bandwagon

 - December 8th, 2011
Earlier this year, there was a bit of an outrage over Sony’s new PSN terms and conditions. Through their EULA, Sony made it so that by agreeing to use their services, you’ve also agreed not to sue or enter class-action litigation against them. EA soon followed suit soon after with a similar set of T’s&C’s. It looks like Microsoft’s not too keen on Class-action lawsuits either - ... [»]
