It really is depressing to see this sort of childish idiocy still exists in 2012 but unfortunately with so many idiots on the planet I don’t expect racism to disappear anytime soon.
I mean that would imply you’d have to take responsibility for some of the worlds problems yourself instead of blaming ... [»]
David Jaffe is well known for his public utterings and his awesome ability to shove both his feet into his mouth at the same time but this time he has a point I am happy to agree with.
Basically the story goes that some people are apparently refusing to buy Twisted Metal ... [»]
There is more to gaming than simply killing people with foreign accents to a Hans Zimmer soundtrack or donning the cowl to defeat Clown Princes of Crime. Great games and, especially, the gaming life itself, like other forms of creativity such as books or films, can stir debate and encourage us to reconsider views we’ve previously held. None of us is perfect. We need to be aware that views we ... [»]
Obviously being raised in South Africa means that we are all acutely aware of racism and the horrors that can unfold if it’s allowed to spread. So when people claim they are seeing racism in video games I’m always very interested in seeing if it’s possibly true. I ... [»]
Before Resident Evil 5 was released, there were cries, stupidly, that the game – in which you slaughter hundreds upon hundreds of undead – was racist. Racist, because those reanimated corpses happened to be black. The fact that it was set in Africa, ... [»]
Earlier this year Valve announced that Left 4 Dead 2 was going to be set in New Orleans and instantly some obscure group started screaming racism. This was quickly ignored but I did also say at the time that ... [»]
So apparently there is some mini organisation out there trying to get famous by claiming that Left 4 Dead 2 is racist because it has black people in it and some of those black people are zombies. Now I still feel ... [»]
Yahtzee takes on Resident Evil this week and gives it a thorough thrashing on two distinct points… The apparently idiotic inventory system which is categorised by the fact that the armour you wear actually takes up a spot in your inventory… which makes absolutely no sense what so ever. And the racism debacle that blew up before the game was released, I think he sums it up nicely when he theorises that while certain events may have looked racist it was more than likely just ignorance on behalf ...

So the first Resident Evil 5 review has been released by IGN and there are some interesting side stories around the review already. First up we have the review itself which can be found here, all in all IGN have done a very nice job with the review and have convinced me even further that I need to pick up this title. Their review had very little mention of nay racism in it apart from the bizarre economic system of the game which has you stealing from ... [»]
Yes if you hadn't noticed yet the racism claim against Resident Evil 5 is my latest obsession which also explains the lack of rants against installs recently so enjoy it while it lasts.The latest entity to speak up about the racism claims in Resident Evil 5 would be the BBFC or for those of us who don't live in the UK that would be ...

Gametrailers have posted Episode 4 of their Resident Evil retrospective which is well worth watching if you are planning on picking up Resident Evil 5 and haven't previously been a fan of the series, however before watching this one make sure you have watched Episodes 1,2 and 3.There is a lot of great news being leaked about this game at the moment we all know that the first major obstacle it will have to cross are the racism claims being levelled at it and then only will we be able to truly ...

Yes we are back on this subject as it just isn’t going away and the more that Capcom attempts to stop the racism claims the worse it becomes. To try and avert the gossip Resident Evil 5 producer, Masachika Kawata, has come out and managed to stir the pot some more. Apparently he is convinced that the problems have been sorted seeing that “after the introduction ... [»]
Way back in August 2007 Resident Evil 5 was hit by claims of racism and at that time I was solidly on Capcom’s side and just thought that people were finding problems where none exist.However it seems that Capcom may have inadvertently, we hope, gotten this one very wrong indeed. According to a Eurogamer hands on the racist imagery in Resident Evil 5 goes ... [»]
