The saga of Sega's stance on SOPA
In case you’ve been living under a rock, the Stop Online Piracy Act is kind of a big deal. It threatens the very existence of some of the largest sites on the Internet and its vague wording would grant unreasonable power to those ready to abuse it. Naturally everyone is taking sides, but a lot of larger publishers like SEGA have remained silent on the issue. Until now.

It's all in the presentation: Why I let Driver: San Francisco get away with poor driving
Gran Turismo 5 and Need for Speed: Shift were messes in my eyes for a number of reasons, but a big sticking point was how the results of my driving felt disconnected from the game’s feedback. The cars would look

Mass Outbreaks of Xenophobia and Inbreeding: A stroll through the ghettoes of San Andreas
“Canonical American literature is free of, uninformed, and unshaped by the four-hundred-year-old presence of, first, Africans and then African-Americans in the United States.” I begin with a quote from best-selling author Toni Morrison because I feel that it perfectly encapsulates

UK game retailers desire peace in online pass vs. used game conflict
Video game retailers in the UK have been suggesting ways to broker peace between them and publishers like EA and Warner Bros over the issue of online passes and used games. Among these retailers is Gordon Crawford of indie Gamespod:
“As a retail store we would happily share part of the sale from a used game if we get something in return. Perhaps new games at better prices and no more online codes.”
That’s…a pretty good idea! This constant battle between publishers and retailers seems so unnecessary. If publishers (and developers for that matter) were given a cut of used game sales, it seems perfectly possible that we could live in a world where every single game isn’t $60. It would be a world where you could just pop a game in and play it without having to register for some profile you’ll never use and enter a 25-digit code for content you already paid for. Other retailers offered their agreements as well.
