Instead of just attacking Sony for this why not the hackers themselves? You don't put full blame a bank for getting robbed or condemn a city for getting attacked by terrorists, you blame the perpetrators.
This article is opinionated and bias to it's very core. Why bother posting this? This is more or less a blog post, we come to sites like GameSpot for factual NEWS, not blown up over-the-top stuff like in the more mainstream media.
You should have included Kessler from inFamous, he was a brilliant villain. SPOILERS He planned the detonation of the ray sphere, and sends Cole into a downward spiral, he kills Cole's girlfriend, turns his best friend against him, the game gives you every possible reason to hate the guy. Then, with all that driving you, you defeat Kessler, and in his dying moments he reveals to you that HE IS COLE, and he went back in time to prepare Cole for his encounter with the Beast, to make him strong and ruthless, with nothing holding him back. It's a great twist (probably one of the best i've seen) and a brilliant motive. Also GlaDOS should have been in by default.
The fact of the matter is that my money can buy more overseas compared to here in Australia. And do they honestly expect that "freight/cost of distribution" argument to hold up? Surely an increasing dollar would give the retailers more purchasing power to get more copies for less, and also reduce the freight and delivery costs? Nope, the prices stay the same. That's some great logic there. Higher dollar = Price go DOWN. It's called common sense. I'll only ever consider buying a new game locally if it's below $75, or $100 if it's a special edition.
Far Cry 2 pushes the boundaries of in-game AI? HA! The NPCs in that game could spot me from over the horizon and shoot me with nearly 100% accuracy! Whenever you sneak-killed someone, everyone would know exactly where you were! That's not even decent AI, it's pathetic and cheap!
Without a doubt The Greens. I'm so happy that they'll be getting the balance of power for the whole of next term, They'll be able to block the internet filter if Labor wins and if *shudder* Liberals (please no) win then the Greens will be able to keep the NBN and block the net filter, and on top of that they'll give R18+ rating more of a chance of getting through and sooner.
