Voice Makes the Character

*Disclaimer – There are some story spoilers for Splinter Cell: Conviction and Metal Gear Solid 4 in this article* 2013 seems to be the changing of the guard when it comes to video game voice-actors. And why shouldn’t it? As time progresses and the end draws near for our favorite voice-actors, the medium is forever. ...

To The Lighthouse – BioShock vs BioShock Infinite | Part 3

BioShock Infinite is very much a BioShock game. That’s obvious from the title, of course. But the two games are more intrinsically linked than that. Characters, mechanics, and settings are all shimmering reflections off the same pool of water: the final image is slightly different, but both come from the same root picture. BioShock and ...

When the upcoming reboot of the Thief series, simply titled Thief, was unveiled, it was announced only for the next generation of consoles, those being the PS4, the PC and whatever Microsoft will call their new Xbox.

(April Fools) Mike Cosimano Is A Flawed Individual

DICLAIMER: This post is not meant to be taken seriously. DISCLAIMER #2: Actually, I’m kidding. It is meant to be taken seriously. In fact, I demand you dress up as the joker, then go out to the busiest public place you know, point to this article, ask “why so serious?”, then have someone else punch ...

The Future is Social (And That’s Not A Bad Thing)

Back in 2011, veteran game designer Mark Cerny made the bold prediction that “the traditional single player experience will be gone in three years”. At the time I scoffed. And justifiably. Although multiplayer was booming and social features were beginning to ingratiate themselves into campaigns, we were only months away from some of the best ...

Why The Eighth Generation Fails To Excite

For many, excitement over the eighth generation of consoles is, understandably, at a fever pitch. With the Wii U already on the market, the PS4 launching towards the end of the year and widespread reports of Microsoft’s plans to announce and detail the 360′s successor in the not-too-distant future, it is all but upon us. ...

Developers, Stop: Using Cutscenes To Introduce Enemies

In what will hopefully be a semi-successful form of enlightenment and discussion, “Developers, Stop:” will be a regular editorial series wherein Michael Urban talks about particularly irksome modern gameplay flaws that are trending for all the wrong reasons and should probably be stopped. You’re walking down a cold, dark hallway where the metallic walls are ...
