GamePolitics, gaming journalism’s answer to intelligent people,has a story up right nowwhich details a dialogue between the site and Dr. Susan Bartell, a woman who went on Fox’sThe Morning Showwith uneducated opinions and slammedHalo 3. Her defense is that, even though she believes teens shouldn’t play such games, her ignorant sensationalism is just the way television works. This opens a window to something we all knew, and now we have proof — that most so-called ‘experts’ care more about frightening the public for attention than actually providing thoughtful, reasonable coverage on the ‘violent’ games debate....

This month is a terrific time to get into the buying mood, thanks to a promotional offer from Microsoft.

Probably should’ve been there at launch… Street Fighter Vis a pretty damn great fighting game. Or, er… it would be if it were actually finished. The servers have been janky since launch, lobbies are pitifully small, and most importantly there is a major lack of single-player content. One of the biggest absences is a fighting game staple: the trusty arcade mode. As it is, there is currently no way to go up against AI in a standard best-of-three match format....

Where humans in our world are obsessed with silly things like football and politics, the people of the Pokemon world are obsessed with Pokemon. Hearing the Pokemaniacs of thePokemongames droll on and on about Pokemon this and Pokemon that actually puts dealing with real world obsessives in perspective. Unfortunately, because of that crappy TV show and shameless multi-media promotions like this,Pokemonis far from being as respected as other names of Nintendo likeMarioorStar Fox....

A few online-centric features are out Sony went ina different directionthan Microsoft with respect to always-on requirements and used games, and the latter company didn’t hear the end of it. We certainly weren’t buying the explanations. But that’s in the past, now. As of today, the Xbox One has shedmost of the policiesgamers took issue with. According to Microsoft’s Marc Whitten, that’s not all the console lost. “One of the things we were very excited about was ‘wherever we go my games are always with me,’ the VP of Xbox Live toldKotaku....

Where have we seen this before? Recently, Valve introducedpaid-for passes for custom games inDota 2, where for $1 players are given extra content or features to some of the most popular custom game-modes on official Valve servers. It’s very similar to Valve’s paid mod scheme, which fell apart last year after it was discovered that one of the first mods to be soldused content from other mod developerswithout permission. Guess what?...

And not even because of dat ass I’ve been a casualStreet Fighterfan since 1992. It wasn’t the arcade release that got me, but the SNES port that hit the console that summer. Every weekend, I would go down to the local video game rental shop to see if it had it, elated when it did and deflated when it didn’t. I never got serious about the game, but it was a title my brother and I could play together, ultimately engaging in some truly historic fights....

Labels president believes the game has ‘recovered’ Discussing theSimCitylaunch fiascoin a call with investors today, EA Labels president Frank Gibeau referred to the title as “a great game that has recovered from a challenging launch.” Although that sounds disingenuous when youlook at the larger, ongoing picture, sadly, he’s not wrong from a financial standpoint.
