![]() "Scandal. In the game Bioshock 2, children are used and murdered. Little girls are used like dogs looking for drugs for their masters." Aforementioned is the wordy headline used by major regional Polish newspaper Gazeta Lubuska, which expressed its outrage at Bioshock 2 in an editorial today. Bemoaning the game’s lack of Christian (or Catholic) values, the newspaper describes Bioshock 2’s core gameplay as the Big Daddy’s use of little girls, trapped into inhumane lives and forced to seek out dr… More |

![]() Ausir, administrator of The Vault, told me about a cancelled game in the Fallout series called Fallout Extreme. Originally developed for the Xbox by defunct studio 14 Degrees East, which was responsible for the marginally successful Fallout Tactics, Fallout Extreme was planned as a cross between Fallout Tactics and a squad-based third person shooter somewhat akin to Full Spectrum Warrior, Freedom Fighters and Valkyria Chronicles with bits of Jagged Alliance 2 thrown into the mix. According to T… More

![]() Not content with simply reinterpreting Dante’s Inferno as a blood-filled action game (our verdict on the game is still pending), Visceral chief Jonathan Knight told Industry Gamers that the team would like to make a video game adaptation of another famous literary classic. "Macbeth the game is something I've been thinking about for years," said Knight, expressing his interest in the work.

![]() EA/Bioware and Dr. Pepper recently teamed up for a Mass Effect 2 promotion that provides drinkers of the soda the chance to win three DLC items for use in the new game. Those living outside the United States are sadly ineligible for the promotion, and players who just don’t drink the stuff may simply be out of luck. As it turns out, I have good news. The keys provided in the promotion are completely static and reusable. The codes are as follows: CBEEAAA41NWH CBEEAAAE4L9N CBEEAAAFQG9J CBEEAAAE9… More

![]() When Hellgate: London was all the rage and Flagship Studios seemed like the next big thing on the horizon, a studio by the name of Red 5 Studios, founded by former Blizzard and World of Warcraft team members showed up on my radar. It, too, seemed like the next big thing.

![]() Picture credit: InjurdNinja/ DeviantArt Alter egos are the persons we wish we were. Whenever we’re being berated by someone whom we’d like to tell to shut up, there’s always a small part of us that holds us back from speaking our minds. Whenever there’s a girl we’d like to ask out on a date, there’s always a small part of us that tells us to protect the sanctity of our ego by remaining aloof, you know, just in case she says ‘no’.
