Comment In: Opinion: I feel used [News - 05/18/2012 - 07:59]

Who we see succeeding mostly ...

Who we see succeeding mostly in the market right now is the independent developers, they aren't giving us a ton of eye candy, but they are giving us a good blend of story and game play. Corporate big wigs whose only concern is the next bonus check and making sure ...

Comment In: What happened to innovative games? [Blog - 01/26/2012 - 11:05]
