Borderlands 2 won't have splitscreen on PC, but gamers are already figuring out a workaround.

Tekken Tag Team Tournament 2 To Have Online Pass

And I was thinking about getting it, too. Well, there goes that. I think I might just buy a bunch of old fighting games and ignore anything new that comes out.

EA Has Issues

It's nice to see EA do something nice for a change, like join the fight against DOMA. But I'm wondering if they only did this to try and look good. After all, they were recently named Worst Company in America. And they don't seem to want to give up on doing stupid shit, like going after Valve for their Steam sales. In a recent article posted on Cinemablend, Valve is apparently defending its habitual use of sales on Steam. EA (and other companies who aren't fond of Steam sales) seem to see this as a loss of profits. Which it isn't. They may not be getting full price for their games, but what they don't seem to want to acknowledge is that they are still getting some money from the game. Not everyone wants to buy games strait off the bat, especially people who look into companies and know EA, Capcom, etc. are habitually pumping out rushed, broken games. I, for example, want to get Battlefield 3. But I'm not about to go buy it for $60 when I know it'll support EA's Online Pass. So that is a unit that will sit unsold. Now, BF3 goes on sale for cheap enough that I can overlook the online pass, and I buy it. That's another unit sold, some money made (preferable to no money made) and maybe I go to the dark side and start ignoring the Online Pass issue for the rest of forever (yeah, right). So, clearly, sales are better for profits, rather than worse.

RE6 Getting too Far From its Roots?

With Jack Bower taking over the role of Leon Kennedy, non stop explosions, the apparent turn towards regenerating health and now a dridder as a boss, Resident Evil 6 seems have strayed far from the beaten path and fallen off of a cliff. Capcom seems to enjoy taking its games and screwing up the working formula. I was never really a Biohazard fan to begin with, so I'd initially thought I'd get this game. But having played RE: Revelations for the 3DS, plus having two friends who've shown me just about all previous RE games, this is starting to look like something I'm going to avoid.

Welcome to Minecraft World Order

For the record, this blog isn't going to be strictly about Minecraft. It's main focus will be general gaming news, some good, some bad, and most ugly. This news will likely come predominantly in the form of links, however what I do write myself will have a lot of my own opinion.
